  • Novello-Son-2019.Pdf
    Synopsis A selection of Ivor Novello's best-loved songs and his doting mother to sing them – a simple enough idea … except nothing can ever be simple when Madame Clara Novello Davies takes centre stage. Indomitable, impetuous, with an ego the size of the Ritz, her genius for choral music had once won her international acclaim. But it’s 1938 and those days are long past – not that Ivor could ever persuade her of that. With their relationship at (yet another) crisis point, this funny and at times poignant drama sees Clara struggle to come to terms with a world that has lost interest in her kind of music and fallen head-over-heels for her son. As she sings his songs and dutifully sings his praises, she finds herself re-living the traumas of a remarkable life that took her from a suburb in Cardiff to the epicentre of London’s Theatreland. *************************** The show features Rosamund Shelley and her pianist Gavin Roberts Excerpts from Novello & Son: https://vimeo.com/user34637870 Premiered at Wales Millennium Centre November 2014 – reviewed in The Western Mail Further performances in The Rosemary Branch and The Jermyn Street Theatre, London, the Oundle Festival and the Lower Machen Festival Contact: [email protected] *************************** Information for Venues Technical • The show runs for 60 minutes without an interval • Minimum playing space of 2m x 4m • Informal cabaret style of seating recommended, although theatre style seating in rows can work well, as long as the audience are not too far from the performing area • Basic lighting, a high stool and a piano are required.

  • The Development of the Pre-Show in English Shakespearean Performance, 1932-2014
    THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PRE-SHOW IN ENGLISH SHAKESPEAREAN PERFORMANCE, 1932-2014 By ALISON STEWART A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY The Shakespeare Institute School of English, Drama and American & Canadian Studies College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham March 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract Productions of Shakespeare’s plays often feature an interpolated opening scene or ‘pre-show’. My thesis examines this phenomenon. Proposing threshold theory as a framework, I consider the interfaces between the classic text, the enacted play and the audience. Previous studies of modern pre-shows suggest three key purposes for the pre-show: narrative, concept, and theatricality, which I adopt as the structure of the second half of my thesis. Studies of early prologues and inductions trace cultural and artistic developments that pre-figure developments I trace in modern production. I consider in some detail Shakespeare’s own pre-show and introductory strategies and the problems they present to modern directors, before examining the earliest pre- shows of modern productions, in the 1930s to 1950s, the cultural and artistic circumstances that gave rise to them, and their reception among reviewers and scholars.

  • Mfa U.S. Graduates 2020 Welcome
    MFA U.S. GRADUATES 2020 WELCOME We are thrilled to introduce you to the 2021 Bristol Old Vic Theatre School Graduating MFA Actors Online Showcase. The performers you will see here are eligible to work in the United States. Normally, the time we spend in New York is an essential part of the career launch of our graduates, and an event we look forward to every year. Nevertheless, we persevere, and we’re delighted to welcome industry figure from across the whole of the USA to join us online. Thank you so very much for making time to watch them all. For over 70 years Bristol Old Vic Theatre School has been producing actors of the highest calibre – including many household names such as Sir Daniel Day Lewis, Naomie Harris, Sir Patrick Stewart, Laura Carmichael (Lady Edith in Downton Abbey), the late, great Gene Wilder and countless others. Series 4 of Netflix’s The Crown has Bristol alumni as Princess Anne (Erin Doherty), Prince Charles (Emmy Award winner Josh O’Connor) and the Queen (Oscar winner Olivia Colman). We hope that this year’s graduating actors may have equally illustrious careers. Class sizes are very small; typically, each course will only have 10-14 students and each student will have an intensive experience in which their individuality can flourish. As well as the extensive theatre training, students receive rigorous training in film and television, and specialist training in areas such as combat, audio, motion capture and voice acting technique. Our goal is that graduates emerge from the program confident in their individuality, and fully prepared for the wide range of opportunities that await them in the profession.
