Happy Family by Giles Cooper Press Information finboroughtheatre Odd Sok Productions in association with Concordance presents Happy Family by Giles Cooper. Directed by Vivian Munn. Designed by Alex Marker. Lighting by Alex Watson. Cast includes: Scott Brooksbank. Camilla Corbett. Will Godfrey. Caroline Taylor. THE FIRST LONDON PRODUCTION FOR MORE THAN TWENTY YEARS OF THE BLACK COMEDY BY CULT SIXTIES DRAMATIST, GILES COOPER. The three members of the Solstice family are still as emotionally vulnerable and innocent as when they were as children - Mark, the authoritative brother, is terrified of the dark; Susan is stuck in her role as the bossy older sister; while Deborah is totally unaware of the facts of life. Held together by an elaborate system of nursery rules and regulations, a secret language, and their joint failure to grow up, the introduction of Susan’s new fiancé into their midst is the catalyst that stretches their childhood chains to breaking point… Dramatist Giles Cooper (1918-1966) was “the most original and brilliant dramatist to have written for and been created by radio”. Happy Family was the last play he wrote before his death "and probably his best". He died mysteriously falling from a train in December 1966. First presented at the Hampstead Theatre in 1966 with Wendy Craig as Deborah, it transferred to the West End with Michael Denison, Dulcie Gray and Robert Flemyng. It was last seen in the UK in the West End in 1983 with Stephanie Beacham, Ian Ogilvy, Angela Thorne and James Laurenson in a production directed by Maria Aitken. Director Vivian Munn is best known as an actor with credits including the Young Vic under David Thacker (including playing Osvald in Ghosts in the West End), world tours for Michael Bogdanov and Michael Pennington’s English Shakespeare Company and roles for David Thacker, Max Stafford-Clark, Steven Pimlott and Bill Bryden for the Royal Shakespeare Company. PRESS ACCLAIM FROM THE WEST END PRODUCTIONS "The best thing the late Giles Cooper wrote for the theatre" Irving Wardle, The Times "It makes me regret keenly that we shall not savour any more of the razor-edged laugh lines with which he slashes the healthy cheeks of the traditional English middle-class." Daily Mail "Mr Cooper's script which is exciting and witty, constantly springs surprises and expertly coincides these surprises with psychological revelations.....The play is intelligent, satisfying and holds its high quality to the end." Jeremy Kingston, Punch "Giles Cooper had so subtle and permeating a sense of the disturbing, the uneasy, and the possibly obscene that he takes possession of our judgment, and invalidates it as an instrument of rationality. He projects impulses we would all deny, conceal, or ignore, and makes of them a universe that something deeper than reason accepts as real." W.A.Darlington, The Sunday Times "Giles Cooper's Happy Family is one of those "lost" comedies of the English theatre” Sheridan Morley, Punch “Shrewd, strange, funny, compelling, and ultimately horrifying play.” The Daily Mail “Weirdly amusing story, theatrically effective… compellingly told” The Daily Telegraph “So refreshingly humorous… so decidedly chilling…it remains a riveting entertainment.” Sunday Express PRESS NIGHT: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7TH 2004 AT 7.30PM PHOTOCALL: TUESDAY, OCTOBER 5TH 2004 AT 1.00PM-1.30PM Finborough Theatre, The Finborough, 118 Finborough Road, London SW10 9ED (Five minutes from Earl’s Court Underground and West Brompton Underground and National Rail) Box Office 020 7373 3842 www.finboroughtheatre.co.uk Tuesday, October 5th – Saturday, October 23rd 2004 Tuesday to Saturday Evenings at 7.30pm.

  • A Short History Of
    Formerly the Actors’ Orphanage Fund & the Actors’ Charitable Trust, TACT. A sketch of ACT’s history th to mark our 125 birthday by Robert Ashby, executive director Mrs Kittie Carson, wife of the editor of the Stage newspaper, became increasingly concerned about the welfare of actors and others connected with the theatre, particularly women and children. She felt that provision by other charities and friendly societies was inadequate; she disliked the requirement of several for one to be a member in order to benefit, that many had age restrictions, and that all were run by men. Mrs Carson’s first move in November 1891 was to found the Theatrical Ladies’ Guild (today The Theatrical Guild). Its purpose was quite simply to provide clothing, whether committee members’ cast-offs, donations from supporters, or items sewn and tailored by the Guild’s members themselves. Mrs Carson’s reasoning was that actresses who constantly travelled and who struggled to make ends meet, had no time to sew, and unemployed actresses certainly could not afford new clothes. Her new charity became closely linked with the Ladies’ Needlework Guild, and committee meetings seemed intertwined with ‘sewing bees’. Mrs Carson’s husband, Charles, alerted readers of the Stage to the need for help. The response from readers reinforced Mrs Carson’s sense of urgency in helping the profession’s children. Care of the young “would add solidity and prestige to the drama and its exponents”. Although the Actors’ Benevolent Fund had been asked repeatedly to take on responsibility for the children since 1888, it had been unwilling, already having so many incapacitated adult actors to support.

    NEWSLETTER / SPRING 2018 Welcome from our Chairman 'Spring is nature's way of saying "Let's Party!"...' Robin Williams I had been looking for some great quote or poem about Spring to reflect the new year and new growth. I found there are many, some risqué some depressing but decided on one that I liked the best, which was from the actor Robin Williams Although it is still very chilly, what with the 'Beast from the East', then the 'Mini Beast from the East' and I am sure there will be a 'Micro Beast' at some point, there is a little blossom around forging its way through the cold, the mornings are bright, there are lambs in the fields and the clocks have gone forward – it doesn’t get more lyrical than that and nor do I..... Ahead is another year of excitement and expectations, new films for some and, perhaps, new positions for others and I am happy to say, the Industry is still very buoyant and there does seem to be continuing investment in studio space. I am also happy to announce that the British Film Designers Guild is also growing, with the continuing addition of new members and corporate sponsors, this in turn allows us to reinvest back into the Guild – stand by for a small survey coming your way, we think some feedback on the events we run, the website, the awards and other things you may need or want from your membership will be helpful for the committee to consider and organise. We had a very successful awards evening at Pinewood in early January which would not have been possible without the very generous support from our Sponsors and the hardwork from Sonja Klaus and Mads Bushnell plus their respective teams.
