  • Black and Asian Theatre in Britain a History
    Black and Asian Theatre in Britain A History Edited by Colin Chambers First published 2011 ISBN 13: 978-0-415-36513-0 (hbk) ISBN 13: 978-0-415-37598-6 (pbk) Chapter 8 ‘All a we is English’ Colin Chambers CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 8 ‘All A WE IS English’1 Britain under Conservative rule in the 1980s and for much of the 1990s saw black and Asian theatre wax and then wane, its growth the result of earlier forces’ coming to a head and its falling away a consequence of cuts allied to a state-driven cultural project that celebrated the individual over the collective and gave renewed impetus to aggressive, narrow nationalism. How to survive while simultaneously asserting the heterodox, hybrid nature of non-white theatre and its contribution to British theatre was the urgent challenge. Within two years of the Thatcher government’s election to power in 1979, Britain saw perhaps the most serious rioting of its postwar era, which led to major developments in public diversity policy, though less significant change at the level of delivery. The black community could no longer be taken for granted and was demanding its rights as British citizens. The theatre group that epitomized this new urgency and resilience and the need to adapt to survive was the Black Theatre Co-operative (BTC).2 The group was founded by Mustapha Matura and white director Charlie Hanson in 1978 after Hanson had failed to interest any theatres in Welcome Home Jacko, despite Matura’s standing as the leading black playwright of his generation.

  • CITY of ANGELS Book by Larry Gelbart | Music by Cy Coleman | Lyrics by David Zippel Hits the West End!
    PRESS RELEASE: 19 December 2019 The Donmar Warehouse’s Olivier Award-winning production of CITY OF ANGELS Book by Larry Gelbart | Music by Cy Coleman | Lyrics by David Zippel Hits the West End! Josie Rourke’s critically acclaimed and Olivier Award winning production of City of Angels makes its West End transfer six years since opening at the Donmar Warehouse in 2014. The musical will play at the Garrick Theatre for a limited season, opening on Tuesday 24 March 2020 with previews from Thursday 5 March 2020, reuniting the production’s entire creative team. The West End production will star Hadley Fraser (Les Misérables, Young Frankenstein), Theo James (Divergent series), Rosalie Craig (Company), Rebecca Trehearn (Show Boat), Jonathan Slinger (various roles with the RSC) with BRIT Award winner Nicola Roberts (Girls Aloud) making her stage debut and Emmy and Grammy Award nominee Vanessa Williams (Ugly Betty, Desperate Housewives) making her West End debut. The cast also includes Marc Elliott, Emily Mae, Cindy Beliot, Michelle Bishop, Nick Cavaliere, Rob Houchen, Manuel Pacific, Mark Penfold, Ryan Reid, Joshua St Clair & Sadie-Jean Shirley. A screenwriter with a movie to finish. A private eye with a case to crack. But nothing’s black and white when a dame is involved. And does anyone stick to the script in this city? This is Tinseltown. You gotta ask yourself: what’s real…and what’s reel… Josie Rourke’s “ingenious, stupendous revival” (The Telegraph) premiered in 2014, when it was hailed as “a blissful evening” (The Stage) that’s “smart, seductive and very funny” (Evening Standard).

  • MR GILLIE by James Bridie
    Press Information ! ! VIBRANT NEW WRITING | UNIQUE REDISCOVERIES Spring-Summer Season 2017 | April–July 2017 The first London production in over 60 years MR GILLIE by James Bridie.

Emma D’Inverno. Ross Dunsmore. Caitlin Fielding. Drew Paterson. Malcolm Rennie. Andy Secombe. "I find most good men occupied in designing and strengthening cages. I do not like cages. I think that the few minutes between the door of the cage and the jaws of the cat make life worth living." In a new production commissioned by the Finborough Theatre and continuing their rediscovery of James Bridie, one of the West End’s most successful dramatists of the 1930s and 1940s, the first London production since its 1950 premiere of Mr Gillie runs at the Finborough Theatre, playing Sunday and Monday evenings and Tuesday matinees from Sunday, 25 June 2017 (Press Night: Monday, 26 June 2017 at 7.30pm).

Having lost his school and his home and with none of his pupils quite finding the wings to fly free, his life is examined by a heavenly Procurator and Judge.

  • President's Message Shaw Festival Cancels Remaining 2020 Performances of Charley's Aunt and Flush a LOT O'notl
    President’s Message (video) Shaw Festival Cancels Remaining 2020 Performances of Charley’s Aunt and Flush Performances of A Christmas Carol remain as scheduled “We know it looks insurmountable to return to the stage in 2020, but we at The Shaw are holding onto hope for a holiday season,” said Kimberley Rampersad, Associate Artistic Director. “Our hope is a candle – it may flicker, but it will not go out.” You can read the entire media release here. A LOT O’NOTL – Delivered! Thanks to Shaw Guild members who ordered one of the LOT O’ NOTL boxes, containing curated delicacies and home products, as part of the Shaw Guild’s program to support Queen Street merchants! The 50 boxes at $50 each were assembled and delivered on Friday, August 28, by a team of Guild volunteers, led by Emily Lukasik, Shaw Company actor, who proposed the initiative to the Guild a couple of months ago. Emily had heard of a similar program being done in a Toronto neighbouhood earlier this year, and thought it would be great for the Shaw and the Guild to run the program in support of Queen Street merchants in the same way. The team of Laurie Harley, Brenda Weafer, Gail Kendall, Cheryl Morris and Shaw actor Emily Lukasik (at top left) spent several hours one day scouting out and shopping for items for the boxes. It was difficult to make the final choices with so many great shops to choose from. The team will gather soon to discuss the possibility of putting together a holiday-themed package later in the year and perhaps extend the offer to local residents who are not Guild members.
