  • Shakespeare in Love
    FEB Shakespeare 26 MAR in Love 29 Based on the screenplay by Marc Norman & Tom Stoppard Adapted for the stage by Lee Hall Music by Alex Bechtel Directed by Matt Pfeiffer Welcome to Shakespeare in Love. Every year, many of you cry out to us “Dear God, no more Shakespeare!” While others plead “I loved your Winter’s Tale, your Richard III. Please put on Midsummer. I beg you for a Twelfth Night.” With Shakespeare In Love, the Purists and the Never Barders may unite to curse us with a plague on both our houses, but if they — and you — are someone who loves love, well then . Here is a love letter to romantic love, to the theatre, and to the rebellious, transgressive, mysterious, and glorious madness of both. Whether you keep Shakespeare close to your heart or far from it, we invite you to celebrate what he loved most: the stage, its players, poetry . and a dog. Zak Berkman, Producing Director Lend me your ears Matt Pfeiffer, Director I’ve been really blessed to spend most of my career working on the plays of William Shakespeare. I believe his plays are foundational to Western culture. Love him or hate him, his infuence is an essential part of our understanding of stories and storytelling. And I’ve had the privilege for the last six years of fostering a specifc approach to his plays. I found that attempting to be in conversation with the principals of the theatre practices of Shakespeare’s time was a good starting place—not so much aesthetically, but logistically.

  • The Theatrical Comfort Factor
    The theatrical comfort factor By Mark Shenton on July 12, 2011 6:40 AM | Permalink | Comments (17) What’s the single thing that would improve my professional life more than anything else, but also (since I don’t want to be entirely selfish about things here!) the theatregoing experience more generally? No, not more nights in the week, before you suggest it; to be honest, I go to the theatre far too much as it is, and even though there’s always one more request from one more PR or theatre director to see their show, I really don’t need to see more than I already do, and probably need to see a whole lot less. (I’ve been chasing my tail playing catch up for the last fortnight since returning from the US, and I finally officially see the last two of the shows I missed while I was away - and still want to see — today, with the National’s Emperor and Galilean this afternoon and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead tonight). But since I do spend so many of my waking hours in theatres, what I crave more than anything are comfortable theatre seats. While you can make sure that you have the right mattress at home and the right office chair to work from for yourself, it’s one thing you have absolutely no control over. But visiting theatres as regularly as I do, it does mean that I look forward to going to some venues and dread others: the National’s Olivier and Lyttelton, for instance, are in the former category, while the Cottesloe is often in the latter, especially when it is reconfigured and their fixed seating is replaced by moveable chairs that are fixed together.

  • Petula Clark and Joseph Millson Join the Cast of Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’S Multi Award-Winning M a R Y P O P P I N S
    PETULA CLARK AND JOSEPH MILLSON JOIN THE CAST OF DISNEY AND CAMERON MACKINTOSH’S MULTI AWARD-WINNING M A R Y P O P P I N S Cameron Mackintosh and Disney are delighted to announce that Petula Clark and Joseph Millson will join the Company to play the Bird Woman and George Banks in the new production of Mary Poppins, which returns to its original West End home at the Prince Edward Theatre from 23 October 2019. They join the previously announced Zizi Strallen in the title role and Charlie Stemp as Bert. The magical story of the world’s favourite Nanny arriving on Cherry Tree Lane has been triumphantly and spectacularly brought to the stage with dazzling choreography, incredible effects and unforgettable songs. The stage version of Mary Poppins, brilliantly adapted from the wonderful stories by PL Travers and the original beloved Walt Disney film, continues to be a smash hit around the world since it opening in London 15 years ago. Petula Clark became a star in the UK at nine years old singing for the troops stationed in England during World War II. Many years later she moved to France and soon became an European star recording in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish. While still living in Paris, English songwriter Tony Hatch presented her with his new composition, Downtown, which became a worldwide hit and led to a string of top ten records, winning her two Grammy awards and making her an international star. She later met with Charlie Chaplin who penned one of her further major hits This Is My Song.
