Press Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – 16 April 2018 PRESS RELEASE The Royal Theatrical Support Trust and Royal & Derngate Northampton invite entries for the RTST Sir Peter Hall Director Award 2018, in partnership with English Touring Theatre The Royal Theatrical Support Trust (RTST) and Royal & Derngate Northampton are delighted to announce that the 2018 RTST Sir Peter Hall Director Award Scheme is now open for entries. Now in its third year, and its second bearing the name of the RTST co-founder, Sir Peter Hall, the award will be made to an up-and-coming director who demonstrates exceptional directing skills in a rigorous competitive process. The winner will get the opportunity to direct a full-scale, fully funded production of a classic or modern play (which may be an existing play or a new adaptation of a novel or film), to open in 2019 on the Royal Stage, as part of Made In Northampton, in a co-production between Royal & Derngate and English Touring Theatre (ETT), and then tour to theatres across the UK. The RTST will make a grant of £50,000 to Royal & Derngate to be applied towards the costs of the winner’s production. The Scheme promotes the RTST’s charitable objects in two main ways: it supports emerging talent in the theatre and it supports British regional theatres. The Scheme is intended to appeal to a diverse range of candidates and to play a part in promoting diversity in the theatre, onstage and offstage, and among audiences. The winning director will be chosen by a Selection Panel comprising: chair James Dacre (Artistic Director of Royal & Derngate), and judges Kwame Kwei-Armah OBE (Artistic Director of the Young Vic); Olivier Award-nominees Tanya Moodie and Samantha Bond; Olivier Award-winner Dame Harriet Walter; Jenny Sealey MBE (Artistic Director of Graeae and Co-Director of The London Paralympic Games Opening Ceremony); four-times Olivier Award-winner Paule Constable (Associate, National Theatre); and Richard Twyman (Artistic Director of English Touring Theatre). To enter for the Scheme, a candidate must be UK resident and be able to demonstrate a professional track record as a director and satisfy certain other criteria. Each candidate is required to submit, in writing, ideas for directing a play of their choosing. Short-listed candidates are required to participate in directing workshops with actors – observed by the Selection Panel – in order to demonstrate their directing skills before a final interview stage. Chair of the RTST, Sir Geoffrey Cass, said: “We’re doubly-delighted that Royal & Derngate is collaborating with us on the 2018 RTST Sir Peter Hall Director Award and that English Touring Theatre is bringing a UK tour dimension to this scheme for the second year running. The 2016 and 2017 Award winners and official runners-up – Kate Hewitt and Rebecca Frecknall (2016); and Chelsea Walker and Tinuke Craig (2017) – are having tremendous success, which augurs well for the winner of this year’s Award.” The RTST ran the inaugural RTST Director Award scheme in 2016 with Sheffield Theatres, with the winner Kate Hewitt directing the British regional premiere of Tribes by Nina Raine. The RTST ran the re- named 2017 RTST Sir Peter Hall Director Award Scheme with Nuffield Southampton Theatres resulting in the winner Chelsea Walker directing a bold contemporary version of Tennessee Williams’, A Streetcar Named Desire, in a co-production between NST, Theatre Clywd and English Touring Theatre, which recently opened at NST City in Southampton and is now on tour to seven other theatres. Entries for the RTST Sir Peter Hall Director Award Scheme 2018 are now open. To enter, and for further details of the award, please visit the RTST’s website: www.rtst.org.uk. The closing date for entries is 6pm on Monday 4 June 2018.

    Autumn Special Online from 8 September 2020, 1:00pm | Holy Trinity Church, Haddington Chloë Hanslip violin Danny Driver piano Ludwig van Beethoven Violin Sonata No. 1 in D Major, Op. 12, No. 1 Sergey Prokofiev Five Melodies Ludwig van Beethoven Violin Sonata No. 10 in G Major, Op. 96 The Lammermuir Festival is a registered charity in Scotland SC049521 Ludwig van Beethoven Violin Sonata No. 1 in D Major, Op. 12, No. 1 1. Allegro con brio 2. Tema con variazioni: Andante con moto 3. Rondo: Allegro Beethoven’s first three violin sonatas were composed between 1797–98. Although they were dedicated to Antonio Salieri, with whom he might briefly have studied, they show the unmistakable influence Mozart made on Beethoven’s music at the time, as he acquired full fluency in the Viennese Classical style. And in the customary Classical style, they are indicated as sonatas ‘for pianoforte and violin’, with both instruments having a more or less equal role. While the Op. 12 violin sonatas are not necessarily as formally daring as the piano sonatas of the same period, they reveal Beethoven’s firm grasp of how to write idiomatically for the violin, as well as his increasing understanding of how to create a sonata style based on the apparent unification of two opposing forces. The opening movement begins with a bold unison figure, which quickly gives way to a sonorous first subject. In the central development section, rapid passages of semiquavers are passed between violin and piano in quick sequence, making for a vigorous dialogue. The middle movement takes the form of a theme and variations, the theme being audibly based on the opening figure of the previous movement.

  • PRESS RELEASE – Tuesday 19Th November PAINES PLOUGH
    PRESS RELEASE – Tuesday 19th November PAINES PLOUGH ANNOUNCE CASTING FOR SAM STEINER’S YOU STUPID DARKNESS! AT SOUTHWARK PLAYHOUSE, A CO-PRODUCTION WITH THEATRE ROYAL PLYMOUTH IMAGES CAN BE DOWNLOADED HERE www.painesplough.com / @painesplough /#PP2019 / Theatre. Everywhere. Paines Plough have today announced casting for the transfer of Sam Steiner’s YOU STUPID DARKNESS! to Southwark Playhouse, a co-production with Theatre Royal Plymouth. An urgent play about the struggle for optimism and community amid the chaos of a collapsing world, the production is directed by former Paines Plough co-Artistic Director James Grieve and the cast includes: Andrew Finnigan; Jenni Maitland; Lydia Larson; Andy Rush. The show opened at Theatre Royal Plymouth earlier this year and will run at Southwark Playhouse from 16 January – 22 February with a Press Night on Monday 20 January. “I just think it’s, you know, important to look at the good things that are happening as well.” Everything’s been falling apart for a while now. In a cramped, crumbling office four volunteers spend a few hours every Tuesday night on the phone to strangers telling them everything is going to be ok. As the outside world disintegrates around them, Frances, Joey, Angie and Jon teeter on the edge of their own personal catastrophes. Their hopes and fears become entangled as they try, desperately, to connect with the callers and with each other. Andrew will reprise his role as Joey. His theatre credits include: BROKEN BISCUITS (Live Theatre/Paines Plough and UK tour); DRIP (Hull City of Culture/Boundless Theatre/Tour); MY UNCLE FREDDIE, WORMTOWN (The Customs House, South Shields) and Great North Run for BBC Radio 4.

    PRESS RELEASE SHAKESPEARE’S GLOBE ANNOUNCES 2021/22 WINTER SEASON IN THE SAM WANAMAKER PLAYHOUSE 1 September 2021 Shakespeare’s Globe has announced its Winter Season for 2021/22 in the candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. The season will feature Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure directed by Blanche McIntyre, Hamlet directed by Sean Holmes, The Merchant of Venice directed by Abigail Graham, and a festive reimagining of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Fir Tree written by Hannah Khalil. Alongside productions in the Playhouse, there will also be two week-long festivals (including the return of Shakespeare and Race) and half-term events for families. The Globe will continue to reach audiences at home and internationally through livestreamed productions of Measure for Measure, Hamlet and The Merchant of Venice. Michelle Terry, Artistic Director, said: “As we slowly emerge from a period of deep uncertainty, change and challenge, we turn to these plays to ask some of the most profound questions about who we are, why we are, and what on earth can we do about it. In a quest for love, identity, justice or revenge, these plays are full of people making conscious and unconscious choices that determine either their salvation or destruction. This is a season deliberately designed to tackle the big moral questions and complexities with heart, humour and humanity.” For the very first time, audiences will be able to buy tickets to the main productions in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse for £5, with 48 standing tickets available per show. The Globe’s Summer Season continues until 30 October, and despite restrictions and continued difficulties with the pandemic, has successfully welcomed over 86,000 audience members into 150 performances, with only 2 cancelled to date.
