As the opening sequence unfolded, I began to reflect on the career of the man whose phenomenal success has led to his becoming first Sir Andrew and then Lord Lloyd- Webber of Sydmonton (his name gaining a hyphen in the process).

  • PRESS RELEASE – 1 March 2019 INTRA MUROS
    PRESS RELEASE – 1 March 2019 IMAGES CAN BE DOWNLOADED HERE Adam Blanshay Productions in association with Park Theatre present the UK première of INTRA MUROS By Alexis Michalik Directed by Ché Walker Translated by Pamela Hargreaves CASTING IS ANNOUNCED FOR INTRA MUROS AT PARK THEATRE, LONDON FROM 3 APRIL UNTIL 4 MAY. DIRECTED BY AND FEATURING CHÉ WALKER WITH SUMMER STRALLEN, VICTOR GARDENER, EMMA PALLANT, DECLAN PERRING, AND JAZZ ARTIST RIO KAI AS ON-STAGE DJ AND INSTRUMENTALIST. Intra Muros will have its UK première at Park Theatre, London from 3 April – 4 May 2019. Alexis Michalik’s latest play opened in Paris in 2017 and is still running at La Pépinière Théâtre. Full of Michalik’s trademark sharp wit and extraordinary method of storytelling, this metatheatrical production will be directed by Ché Walker (writer of Been So Long, Flesh Wound, Crazy Love and The Frontline) who will also feature as the director within the play, Richard. The full cast will include Summer Strallen as Alice, Victor Gardener as Angel, Emma Pallant as Jane and Declan Perring as Kevin. Popular jazz artist Rio Kai will provide live music and digital sound mixing as an on-stage DJ. Ageing thespian Richard is preparing to direct his first theatre class in a maximum security prison, assisted by his former-actress ex-wife Jane and an inexperienced social worker called Alice. When only two inmates turn up he decides to go ahead with the class nonetheless - and so begins a captivating and darkly comic exploration of life, within the walls.
