Little Angel Theatre Announces Macbeth Soundtrack Casting Little Angel Theatre, 14 Dagmar Passage, London N1 2DN www.littleangeltheatre.com / Box Office 020 7226 1787 PRESS RELEASE: LITTLE ANGEL THEATRE ANNOUNCES MACBETH SOUNDTRACK CASTING A group of extraordinary actors are joining Little Angel Theatre to record the soundtrack of its puppetry production of MACBETH. The stunning visual imagery of the production’s puppetry will be matched by a world class vocal soundtrack, which opens for previews on 5th October (press show 10th October, 7.30pm). The role of Macbeth will be played by Nathaniel Parker, recently seen in the West End production of The Audience, starring Dame Helen Mirren, and well-known for his role in the BBC’s Inspector Lynley Mysteries. Nathaniel began his career at the RSC and returns to them for their 2013 winter season. Award-winning actress Helen McCrory will play the part of Lady Macbeth. Helen has had a wide career in theatre, film and TV, including a 2006 Olivier Award nomination for her role in As You Like It. In the same year she also appeared as Cherie Blair in the film The Queen. In 2012 she appeared in The Last of the Haussmans at the National Theatre, and has been seen recently in the James Bond film Skyfall and as Narcissa Malfoy in the Harry Potter films. Donald Sumpter will play the part of King Duncan, drawing on considerable previous Shakespearean experience in roles such as Claudius (Hamlet at Young Vic) and Marcus Andronicus (Titus Andronicus for the RSC). TV viewers will know him from his role as Kemp in Being Human and Maester Luwin in the HBO series Game of Thrones. Christopher Staines and Brett Brown, playing Macduff and Ross respectively, return to Little Angel Theatre following their roles in the Little Angel/RSC co-production of The Tempest in 2011. Chris Nayak and Steven Maddocks make their Little Angel Theatre debuts as Malcolm and Banquo. The puppeteers for the performance are Claire Harvey, Lori Hopkins and Lowri James and they also play the parts of the three Witches on the soundtrack, ensuring a strong connection between the audio and visual elements of the production. MACBETH will be Artistic Director Peter Glanville’s parting gift to Little Angel Theatre, which he leaves in November after eight years at the helm. MACBETH is one of the highlights of the 2013 SUSPENSE London Puppetry Festival, which brings puppetry work to adult audiences. Photos are available upon request. The production runs until 10 November at Little Angel Theatre. Performances are Tuesday to Sunday at 7.30 pm and Saturday and Sunday at 3.30 pm.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

  • PRODUCTION NOTES BBC FILMS and HBO FILMS
    PRODUCTION NOTES BBC FILMS and HBO FILMS PRESENT THE SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP 92 minutes SHORT SYNOPSIS Coined by Prime Minister Winston Churchill, the term “special relationship” has come to represent the exceptionally close political, diplomatic, cultural and historical relations between Great Britain and the United States. Some transatlantic alliances have been more potent and more personal than others, among them Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt; John F. Kennedy and Harold Macmillan; Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan; and Tony Blair and Bill Clinton. At least for a time. THE SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP follows Blair’s journey from political understudy waiting in the wings of the world arena to accomplished prime minister standing confidently in the spotlight of center stage. It is a story about relationships, between two powerful men, two powerful couples, and husbands and wives. The time is 1996, and the Blairs and the Clintons are a unique foursome – each of them an extremely bright lawyer – with a kinship forged in shared ideology and genuine affection. When world events and personal watersheds shake the very foundation of their relationship, the men and their wives must come to terms with the ephemeral nature of power and, oftentimes, friendship. As the film begins, there are many similarities between Tony Blair and Bill Clinton, both center-left politicians driven by personal ambition, yet equally driven by a belief they can change the world and do a great deal of good. What starts as the formality of friendship between two national figures evolves into a genuine connection, a meeting of kindred spirits, of ideological soul mates in their domestic agendas.

Helen McCrory is fantastic. Carrie Cracknell directs with total assurance’ The Times ★★★★★ ‘Stunning. Exquisitely sad. Beautifully judged’ Time Out ★★★★ ‘Intoxicating. Splendid new production. Tom Burke is excellent.’ Daily Telegraph ★★★★ ‘Helen McCrory floors you’ Sunday Times Carrie Cracknell’s acclaimed National Theatre production of Terence Rattigan’s, THE DEEP BLUE SEA will be broadcast live to cinemas around the world from the National’s Lyttelton Theatre on 1 September at 7pm.

A flat in Ladbroke Grove, West London. 1952. When Hester Collyer is found by her neighbours in the aftermath of a failed suicide attempt, the story of her tempestuous affair with Freddie Page, a former RAF pilot and the breakdown of her marriage to a High Court Judge begins to emerge. With it comes a portrait of need, loneliness and long-repressed passion. Behind the fragile veneer of post-war civility burns a brutal sense of loss and longing.

  • Bamcinématek Presents Queer Pagan Punk: the Films of Derek Jarman, Oct 30—Nov 11
    BAMcinématek presents Queer Pagan Punk: The Films of Derek Jarman, Oct 30—Nov 11 A complete retrospective of Jarman’s 12 feature films, the most comprehensive New York series in nearly two decades New restorations of debut feature Sebastiane and Caravaggio “It feels like the correct time to be reminded of an ancient tradition that has always served civilization well, that of the independent, truth-telling poet provocateur.”—Tilda Swinton The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. Brooklyn, NY/Sep 30, 2014—From Thursday, October 30 through Tuesday, November 11, BAMcinématek presents Queer Pagan Punk: The Films of Derek Jarman, a comprehensive retrospective of iconoclastic British filmmaker and crusading gay rights activist Derek Jarman, following its run at the BFI this spring. Jarman not only redefined queer cinema, but reimagined moviemaking as a means for limitless personal expression. From classical adaptations to historical biographies to avant-garde essay films, he crafted a body of work that was at once personal and political, during a difficult period when British independent cinema was foundering and the AIDS crisis provoked a wave of panic and homophobia. Also a poet, diarist, and painter, Jarman first entered the realm of the movies as a production designer for Ken Russell. The Devils (1971—Oct 31), Russell’s controversial opus of repressed nuns and witchcraft trials, played out in a 17th-century French village that Jarman spent a year creating. His own first feature, Sebastiane (1976—Nov 9), playing in a new restoration, placed a daring emphasis on male nudity and eroticism as it chronicled the death of the Christian martyr; Jarman called it “the first film that depicted homosexuality in a completely matter-of-fact way.” A time-traveling Queen Elizabeth I wanders among the ruins of a dystopic modern London in Jubilee (1978—Oct 30), a shot-in-the-streets survey of the burgeoning punk scene that captures early performances by Adam Ant, Wayne County, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and the Slits.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Undergraduate Honors Theses by an authorized administrator of W&M ScholarWorks. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Scriptwriting: Theory and Practice The independent study course which I hope to participate in this semester would involve writing a twenty to thirty-page screenplay that would eventually be produced into a short film. This film would be made as an Honors Project using the funding for a self-designed project, which is provided as a facet of the Murray Scholar Program. The Independent Study would be advised by Professor Sharon Zuber, who is also my academic advisor for my Film Studies major. I hope to undertake this screenwriting independent study for a variety of reasons. First of all, there is not currently a screenwriting course being offered this semester. Given the nature of the film project I am hoping to produce, it is crucial that I begin the screenwriting process this semester, so that I can then have a complete idea of what my film is going to entail so that I can undertake pre-production planning efforts in the Spring semester, and be ready to start production during the Summer of 2010.
