Following the huge success of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s State Fair at both the Finborough Theatre and in the West End, Me and Juliet is the second UK premiere of a Rodgers and Hammerstein musical to be directed by acclaimed young music theatre director Thom Southerland, running for a limited four week season from Tuesday, 5 October 2010 (Press Night: Thursday, 7 October 2010 at 7.30pm) at the multi-award-winning Finborough Theatre. A love story, a comedy, a show within a show, and a tongue in cheek satire of ‘showbusiness’, Me and Juliet is Rodgers and Hammerstein’s valentine to the Theatre. When singer Jeanie and stage manager Larry are secretly married, they arouse the suspicion and jealousy of lighting technician and ex-boyfriend Bob. It’s chaos on stage, and unbridled passion back stage, but the show must go on… Remembered by Broadway aficionados for its infectiously catchy score including the timeless classic No Other Love, as well as for Rodgers and Hammerstein’s groundbreaking innovations in reinventing musical theatre, Me and Juliet ran for a year on Broadway in 1953, and this production will be its long overdue European premiere, and also commemorates the 50th anniversary of the death of Oscar Hammerstein II. Director Thom Southerland is one of the leading young directors of music theatre in Britain. Prior to the Finborough production and West End transfer of State Fair, he directed revivals of Calamity Jane and Call Me Madam (Upstairs at the Gatehouse), The Full Monty (New Players Theatre), Dick Whittington (Cochrane Theatre) and Hobson’s Choice and Singin’ in the Rain (Broadway Studio). Other productions include – as Resident Director of the Union Theatre – the European premiere of I Sing!, Divorce Me Darling!, Annie Get Your Gun (Time Out Critics’ Choice), The Pajama Game (Time Out and Evening Standard Critics’ Choice) and all-male productions of Gilbert and Sullivan’s HMS Pinafore and The Mikado; and – as Resident Director at the Catford Broadway Theatre, Bent by Martin Sherman, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma!, The UK Premiere of The Diary of Anne Frank, Rent and Mack and Mabel. He has also assisted John Doyle on Man of La Mancha (BAC), Sweeney Todd and Mack and Mabel (National Tour and West End). Composer Richard Rodgers (1902-1979) was one of America’s most prolific composers. Best known for his partnerships with Lorenz Hart and Oscar Hammerstein II, he composed forty Broadway scores. He was one of only two people to win an Oscar, Grammy, an Emmy a Tony Award and the coveted Pulitzer Prize award. His collaboration with Hart produced shows such as Dearest Enemy, A Connecticut Yankee, On Your Toes, Babes in Arms, Pal Joey and By Jupiter. Their songs included hits like My Funny Valentine, The Lady is a Tramp, Bewitched Bothered and Bewildered and Blue Moon. Rodgers began his collaboration with Hammerstein in 1943, the same year as Hart’s death, and composed the hit show Oklahoma! together, beginning arguably the most successful writing partnership in musical theatre history. 118 Finborough Road, London SW10 9ED Telephone +44 (0)20 7244 7439 Fax +44 (0)20 7835 1853 e-mail [email protected] www.finboroughtheatre.co.uk Artistic Director Neil McPherson The Finborough Theatre is managed by The Steam Industry.

    Mabel’s Blunder By Brent E. Walker Mabel Normand was the first major female comedy star in American motion pictures. She was also one of the first female directors in Hollywood, and one of the original principals in Mack Sennett’s pioneering Keystone Comedies. “Mabel’s Blunder” (1914), made two years after the formation of the Keystone Film Company, captures Normand’s talents both in front of and behind the camera. Born in Staten Island, New York in 1892, a teenage Normand modeled for “Gibson Girl” creator Charles Dana Gibson before entering motion pictures with Vitagraph in 1910. In the summer of 1911, she moved over to the Biograph company, where D.W. Griffith was making his mark as a pioneering film director. Griffith had already turned actresses such as Florence Lawrence and Mary Pickford into major dramatic stars. Normand, however, was not as- signed to the dramas made by Griffith. Instead, she went to work in Biograph’s comedy unit, directed by an actor-turned-director named Mack Sennett.

  • A Taste of Honey by Shelagh Delaney in Autumn 2019
    Thursday 7 February 2019 THE NATIONAL THEATRE WILL TOUR A TASTE OF HONEY BY SHELAGH DELANEY IN AUTUMN 2019 A TASTE OF HONEY IS DIRECTED BY BIJAN SHEIBANI AND DESIGNED BY HILDEGARD BECHTLER JODIE PRENGER WILL PLAY HELEN A TASTE OF HONEY WILL TOUR TO NINE VENUES FROM SEPTEMBER, OPENING AT THE LOWRY, SALFORD The National Theatre today announced a UK tour of Bijan Sheibani’s production of A Taste of Honey, Shelagh Delaney’s remarkable taboo-breaking 1950s play, which was first produced in the Lyttelton Theatre in 2014, designed by Hildegard Bechtler and reconceived in an exciting new production, featuring a live on stage band, for the tour. Jodie Prenger (Oliver!, One Man, Two Guvnors, Abigail’s Party UK tour) plays Helen, with further casting to be announced. Written by Shelagh Delaney when she was nineteen, A Taste of Honey offers an explosive celebration of the vulnerabilities and strengths of the female spirit in a deprived and restless world. When her mother Helen runs off with a car salesman, feisty teenager Jo takes up with Jimmy, a sailor who promises to marry her, before he heads for the seas leaving her pregnant and alone. Art student Geoff moves in and assumes the role of surrogate parent until, misguidedly, he sends for Helen and their unconventional setup unravels. An exhilarating depiction of working-class life in post-war Salford, A Taste of Honey will open there at The Lowry from 13 – 21 September, with a press night on Friday 20 September. The tour will also visit the Kings Theatre, Edinburgh (24 – 28 September); the Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury (1 – 5 October); Richmond Theatre (7 – 12 October); Grand Opera House, Belfast (15 – 19 October); Leicester Curve (22 – 26 October); Theatre Royal, Bath (28 October – 2 November); Grand Theatre, Wolverhampton (5 – 9 November); and the Norwich Theatre Royal (12 – 16 November).
