  • White Lodge Museum : Newsletter
    Newsletter | Autumn 2013 Issue 10 Dame Monica Mason with a painting of Leslie Hurry’s set design for Helpmann’s Hamlet, which she has kindly donated to White Lodge Museum Panel discussion L - R: Professor Richard Cave, choreographer Andrew McNicol and Dr Víctor Durà-Vilà On 27 October White Lodge Museum hosted a full day symposium The Many Faces of Robert Helpmann. Foundations of the event lay in a reconstruction of Helpmann’s 1944 ballet Miracle in the Gorbals. David Drew, former Principal with The Royal Ballet, began a project with White Lodge Museum in 2011 to reconstruct the ‘lost’ ballet. Several members of the original cast were involved including Gillian Lynne, Pauline Clayden, Julia Farron, Jean Bedells and Henry Danton. Following a very successful workshop at White Lodge with a cast of 40 dancers, the decision was taken to hold a symposium to explore the significance of Helpmann in British ballet, theatre and film. A Royal Ballet School student performs in Andrew Film footage of the Miracle in the Gorbals workshop McNicol’s new choreography based on Adam Zero. formed the basis of a paper by Michael Byrne as part of his PhD at the University of Cambridge. He is investigating the regenerative processes of reviving ballets with scores by the composer Arthur Bliss. In addition to Miracle in the Gorbals Bliss wrote the music for Helpmann’s ballet Adam Zero (1946). Dr Víctor Durà-Vilà, Visiting Research Fellow at King’s College London, considered why Helpmann and Bliss made such an effective creative partnership. Along with diverse papers, panels and film screenings there was performance by Royal Ballet School students in new choreography by Andrew McNicol based on Adam Zero.

  • June 2011 Simon Russell Beale CBE Nickolas Grace Price 50P When Sold
    President: Vice President: No. 475 - June 2011 Simon Russell Beale CBE Nickolas Grace Price 50p when sold A Cause for Celebration at the Old Vic Betrayal. Envy. Adultery. Deceit. Murder. Judgement. These are the themes of the Terence Rattigan play Cause Celebre currently on at the Old Vic Theatre. Fortunately, after their matinee performance on the 23rd April, all was jovial conviviality as the cast of Cause Celebre joined Vic-Wells members for their annual Shakespeare’s Birthday Party. Simon Chandler, raising a toast to the Bard, entertained the guests with a speech full of Shakespearean references. Also present were Freddie Fox and Lucy Robinson (Tony Davenport and Stella Morrison in Cause Celebre) and Vic-Wells Vice president Simon Chandler proposes the toast Nickolas Grace. Ruth Jeayes excelled this year in her provision of an excellent buffet, much enjoyed by all. Everyone at the event wore a sprig of rosemary “for remembrance”. Although Rattigan wrote Cause Celebre in 1977, he chose to set the play in the 1930’s (when the sensational murder trial actually took place) thus writing a period piece through the lens of a different era. Niamh Cusack, who plays the fictional c h a r a c t e r E d i t h Davenport commented, “ Rattigan displays real, flesh and blood people who love, hate and feel jealous, who do and say terrible things they regret afterwards. We’ve all been there”. Niamh Cusack Anne-Marie Duff An n e-Marie Duff ’s memorable, poignant performance as accused m u r d e r e s s A l m a Rattenburry said, “ This play is about a trial, yet you feel as though every character is on trial in some way”.

  • October 2018 Nickolas Grace Wayne Sleep OBE
    President: Vice President: No. 504 - October 2018 Nickolas Grace Wayne Sleep OBE The Old Vic and the Nativity Play Liz Schafer reveals the part played by Lilian Baylis in the staging of the now traditional nativity play in England Christmas cards are now in the shops and, no doubt, nativity plays are being planned so it’s a good moment to acknowledge the part played by the Old Vic in the development of that great British institution, The Nativity Play. Because at the beginning of the twentieth century in Britain you had to go abroad to see a nativity play. And that is what Lilian Baylis did. In 1900, Baylis went on a holiday to Germany visiting the Rhine and Oberammergau with its famous Passion Play in its brand new theatre. Baylis was also a good friend of the now mostly forgotten but extraordinary controversialist, the Reverend Stewart Headlam, who founded the Church and Stage Guild in 1879. Headlam fought hard to improve attitudes towards theatre, and performers at a time when theatres were banned from staging biblical narratives, or even examining religious themes. In the UK at the time requests to the censor, the Lord Chamberlain, for permission to stage re-enactments of Biblical stories – whether made by theatre makers or vicars – were always refused, and even staging decorous tableaux accompanied by a gospel reading was a risky enterprise. Then in 1901 William Poel, who had worked at the Vic during 1881-83 under Emma Cons, staged the first modern stage production of the Mediaeval Christian morality play Everyman at the Charterhouse in London.
