Over the past 147 years, it has hosted everyone from Albert Einstein to Arctic Monkeys, The Beatles to Beyoncé, Churchill to Chvrches (we could go on). Last year, its breathtaking auditorium presented 386 events by the world’s greatest performers – taking in rock, pop and classical music, theatre, dance, films, Cirque du Soleil and even tennis – with the magical setting and inspired artists creating amazing memories for audiences. Opened in 1871 to fulfil Prince Albert’s vision of a central hall to promote the arts and sciences, the Hall is a registered charity that remains true to his founding ambitions while looking to the future. With 1.7million visitors a year, ‘the nation’s village hall’ is the world’s busiest venue, while its 1,000 events in secondary spaces help to welcome a young, diverse audience to the Hall. Research conducted by Populus in 2018 found that the Hall was the most respected venue in its field, with members of the public regarding it as more special and yet less elitist than any comparable venue. Its Education & Outreach programme reaches more than 185,000 participants each year, working with schools, young people and the community, as well as other charities such as Music for Youth, as part of its extensive public benefit remit. It creates memories, changes lives and provides inspiration through music for all, regardless of age or background. Fiery Angel Entertainment Fiery Angel Entertainment was established in 2017 by Fiery Angel Ltd, Raymond Gubbay CBE and Michael Stevens to develop concert and special event presentation in the UK and internationally. Following a successful limited season of Barry Humphries’ Weimar Cabaret at the Barbican, Fiery Angel Entertainment are proud to be producing and presenting Guys and Dolls at the Royal Albert Hall, a Christmas season of Circus 1903 at the Royal Festival Hall and Our Finest Hour – Dunkirk and the Battle of Britain at concert venues around the UK.

  • THE BIRTHDAY PARTY by Harold Pinter Directed by Ian Rickson
    PRESS RELEASE – Tuesday 6th March 2018 IMAGES CAN BE DOWNLOADED HERE @BdayPartyLDN / TheBirthdayParty.London Sonia Friedman Productions in association with Rupert Gavin, Tulchin Bartner Productions, 1001 Nights Productions, Scott M. Delman present THE BIRTHDAY PARTY By Harold Pinter Directed by Ian Rickson CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED 60th ANNIVERSARY REVIVAL OF THE BIRTHDAY PARTY ENTERS FINAL WEEKS AT THE HAROLD PINTER THEATRE STRICTLY LIMITED WEST END RUN STARRING TOBY JONES, STEPHEN MANGAN, ZOË WANAMAKER AND PEARL MACKIE MUST COME TO AN END ON 14TH APRIL Audiences now have just five weeks left to see the critically acclaimed West End production of playwright Harold Pinter’s The Birthday Party. The company for the major revival, which runs 60 years since the play’s debut, includes Toby Jones, Stephen Mangan, Zoë Wanamaker, Pearl Mackie, Tom Vaughan-Lawlor and Peter Wight, and is directed by Ian Rickson. Stanley Webber (Toby Jones) is the only lodger at Meg (Zoë Wanamaker) and Petey Boles’ (Peter Wight) sleepy seaside boarding house. The unsettling arrival of enigmatic strangers Goldberg (Stephen Mangan) and McCann (Tom Vaughan-Lawlor) disrupts the humdrum lives of the inhabitants and their friend Lulu (Pearl Mackie), and mundanity soon becomes menace when a seemingly innocent birthday party turns into a disturbing nightmare. Truth and alliances hastily shift in Pinter's brilliantly mysterious dark-comic masterpiece about the absurd terrors of the everyday. The production is designed by the Quay Brothers, with lighting by Hugh Vanstone, music by Stephen Warbeck, sound by Simon Baker, and casting by Amy Ball.

    Osborn, Michael, “Tracey Emin and Arctic Monkeys win South Bank awards,” BBC News, January 27, 2014. Accessed online: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-25915834 Tracey Emin and Arctic Monkeys win South Bank awards By Michael Osborn Arts and Entertainment reporter, BBC News Emin collected her award from Frank Skinner Artist Tracey Emin has been honoured with the South Bank Sky Arts Awards outstanding achievement prize. Emin, who collected her award from Frank Skinner at the London ceremony, said she was "really overwhelmed". Arctic Monkeys beat David Bowie to win the pop music prize, while acclaimed ITV crime series Broadchurch triumphed over the BBC's Top of the Lake and The Fall to win TV drama. British film The Selfish Giant won the film award. It beat Hanif Kureishi's Le Week-End, starring Jim Broadbent and Lindsay Duncan, and Steve Coogan's Oscar-nominated Philomena. Coogan was also nominated in the comedy category for Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa, alongside Sky Arts' series Psychobitches. But both lost out to surprise winner Bridget Christie, who won the prize for her stand-up show A Bic for Her. Backstage at London's Dorchester Hotel, Christie was genuinely surprised, and said she would place her award - designed by Sir Peter Blake - "on a little windowsill behind a mannequin". "They put all the cameras on Psychobitches and everyone on my table said 'oh never mind, it doesn't matter'. "I dealt with not winning and then I quickly had to deal with winning," said the comedian. She added that the success of her show came after a lull in her work when it "hadn't been going so well".

  • Confetti Talent: Alison Steadman, Jessica Stevenson, Martin Freeman
    Confetti Talent: Alison Steadman, Jessica Stevenson, Martin Freeman, Olivia Colman, Stephen Mangan. Date of review: Thursday 3rd August, 2006. Director: Debbie Isitt Classification: M (Mature) Duration: 100 minutes We rate it: Three stars. With both Confetti and the new Australian mockumentary Kenny set to hit our screens in the next few weeks, the fictional documentary is about to experience something of a resurgence in our fair city. During the last ten years, this odd (and easy to produce) genre has blossomed to the point that in both the film and television arenas there have been some astonishing successes made of inexpensive though brilliantly conceived “fly on the wall” fictions. Christopher Guest and co have carved a satirical niche in the US with films like Best in Show, Waiting for Guffman and A Mighty Wind, while in the UK Ricky Gervais made television comedy history with the inspired and excruciatingly discomfiting The Office. With Confetti, British filmmaker Debbie Isitt has taken a large helping of inspiration from both Gervais and the Guffman crew, and has made a film that takes enjoyable satirical swipes at reality television and middle-class English society. The result is simple, wonderfully performed, and often very funny indeed. The premise of Confetti is that we are watching the record of a trio of London couples as they prepare and rehearse their own “high concept” weddings, the final performances of which will be filmed as a group before a studio audience. This is all taking place as part of a competition whose winner will be chosen by the hopelessly selfish and corrupt bridal magazine that is “sponsoring” the competition.
