MINUTES OF W&SW LONDON EQUITY BRANCH MEETING, APRIL 2018 Wednesday 11th April 2018, Seven Dials Club, Covent Garden Attendees (33; *committee member): Freya Dominic*, Callan Durrant, Su Gilroy, Claude Starling, Mimi Brooks, Ayvianna Snow*, Malcolm Ward*, Miranda Heath, Philip Anthony, Larner Wallace-Taylor*, Jamie Newall, George Staines*, Davey Seagle, Nicky Goldie, Linda Beckett, Annie Fitzmaurice, Felicity Trew, Christopher Poke, Flip Webster, Chris Eccles, (illegible), Richard Evans, Alexander Gordon-Wood, Clive Greenwood, Pat Boothman, Silas Hawkins, Fenella Fairbairn, Sibeal McGuinne, Daniel Page*, Victoria Gigante, Rhonda Bachmann, Lola May, Peter Charlton. Apologies: Brian Harty, Lin Sagovsky, Andrew Macbean, Kristin Milward, Mary Drake, TIm Block, Rosemary Macvie, Andrea Black, Chandrika Chevli, Sheila Keating, Paddy Glynn, Sarah Agha*, Mufrida Hayes, Kate Copeland, Carrie Cohen, Maureen Beattie, Adam Wittek, Noël Butler, Rosemary Smith, Eddy Cottridge, Victoria Seabrook, Penelope Lambton, Sarah Simmons, Sarah Edwardson, Will Baylis*, Cliff Chapman*. March meeting - Corrections/Matters Arising • Lola May attended but was mistakenly omitted from the list of attendees. • Rhonda’s SERTUC meeting was January 20th, not March 14th. Rhonda also wished to clarify that Sadiq Khan’s five Brexit strategies report was circulated prior to the SERTUC meeting, but was not discussed at all at the meeting itself. Finally, the fifth and worst case scenario according to the Khan report was reversion to WTO rules with no transition period. News from the Committee Secretary Our next reading of dirty butterfly by debbie tucker green (note edgy lower case spellings) will take place at the irregular date and time of 25th May at 12.30, due to Bank Holiday closures at Guild House. The recent motion, proposed by committee members, regarding the reallocation of branch funding equally amongst branches was rejected at the March Council meeting. They said: ‘The current structure is fair and reflective of the responsibilities of the branches to their members in their areas. However we remind branches they can already apply to the Honorary Treasurer for an additional amount up to £100 for a single specific project. Refer the motion to Matt Hood’s Review of Engagement so its contents and the Council’s position can be considered.' Finance Our balance is currently £3200. A quarterly claim has been submitted to Guild House for our reimbursable expenses, which totalled £1064.63. Once this has been received our balance will be £4300. The success of the workshops so far this year means that we run at a healthy surplus. Malcolm reiterates that the money belongs to the branch and that our accounts are available for any member to look at, if they wish. Workshops • Donmar Casting Director, Christopher Worrall, to reschedule a workshop for the end of May. • 14th May - Lucy Jenkins - Casting Director to host workshop on Audition Technique. • 8th June - Simon Godwin returns for an all day session on Timon of Athens. Auditions • 19th April - Coz Greenop - CEO of Green13 films, makers of independent British feature films Equity Council Elections Malcolm reads out a statement from Andrew Macbean, our former chair, who seeks branch support in the upcoming Council Elections. I’ve been an Equity Councillor for two years and before that, Chair of the W&SW London Branch. During that time I’ve instigated or been involved in the Casting Manifesto, a review of cast visits, the anti bullying action plan, and getting more producers to use our contracts. I work in all sectors of theatre from outdoor to the National to fringe, plus bits of TV, film & corporate role play.

    1 The Development of the Role of the Actor-Musician in Britain by British Directors Since the 1960’s Francesca Mary Greatorex Theatre and Performance Department Goldsmiths University of London A thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) 2 I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Signed: ……………………………………………. 3 Acknowledgements This thesis could not have been written without the generosity of many individuals who were kind enough to share their knowledge and theatre experience with me. I have spoken with actors, musical directors, set designers, directors, singers, choreographers and actor-musicians and their names and testaments exist within the thesis. I should like to thank Emily Parsons the archivist for the Liverpool Everyman for all her help with my endless requests. I also want to thank Jonathan Petherbridge at the London Bubble for making the archive available to me. A further thank you to Rosamond Castle for all her help. On a sadder note a posthumous thank you to the director Robert Hamlin. He responded to my email request for the information with warmth, humour and above all, great enthusiasm for the project. Also a posthumous thank you to the actor, Robert Demeger who was so very generous with the information regarding the production of Ninagawa’s Hamlet in which he played Polonius. Finally, a big thank you to John Ginman for all his help, patience and advice. 4 The Development of the Role of the Actor-Musician in Britain by British Directors During the Period 1960 to 2000.

  • The Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh and Chichester Festival
    The Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh and Chichester Festival Theatre present the World Première of PRESSURE A new play by David Haig Directed by John Dove 1-24 May at Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh June 1944. One man’s decision is about to change the course of history. An intense real-life thriller centred on the most important weather forecast in the history of warfare. Scottish meteorologist, Group Captain James Stagg (played by David Haig), son of a Dalkeith plumber, must advise General Eisenhower on when to give the order to send thousands of waiting troops across the Channel in Operation Overlord. In what became the most volatile period in the British Isles for over 100 years, the future of Britain, Europe and our relationship with the United States, rested on the shoulders of one reluctant Scotsman. Pressure is the extraordinary and little known story of a Scot who changed the course of war, and our lives, forever. David Haig is a four time nominee and Olivier Award winning actor best known for his roles in the film Four Weddings and a Funeral , TV series The Thin Blue Line and The Thick of It and stage production The Madness of King George III (National Theatre). He is also an award winning playwright. He wrote, and starred alongside Daniel Radcliffe in My Boy Jack - which was made into a TV drama for Granada in 2007. David Haig says: "My play is about a forgotten hero. A Scottish meteorologist, modest, tenacious and brilliant, who helped to save Europe in 1944. I'm absolutely thrilled that this Scottish story is to open at the Royal Lyceum in Edinburgh.
