    Cyrano, Northern Broadsides, West Yorkshire Playhouse, Leeds Chris Wallis March 1, 2017

    Review: Cyrano, Northern Broadsides, West Yorkshire Playhouse, Leeds Chris Wallis March 1, 2017 Cyrano de Bergerac had a very big nose. So big in fact that Edmund Rostand immortalised it in his 1897 comic masterpiece, written almost 250 years after his eponymous hero’s death. Apart from the nose, and Cyrano’s position as a member of the Cadets (a regiment of noblemen fighting for the King of France), everything else in the story is fiction. Incredibly successful fiction. The play has been translated and seen all over the world, and a number of movies have been based on the story, including Roxanne starring Steve Martin. Northern Broadsides’ new version by Deborah McAndrew is a worthy addition to the canon. Adapted in verse like the original, McAndrew has great fun with rhymes and rhyme schemes, and stays faithful to the structure of the story. It’s a classic Broadsides ensemble show, performed by an accomplished group of actors and musicians, with music composed by theatrical polymath Conrad Nelson, who also directs. The story turns on the idea that Cyrano – an extremely talented man in every respect – considers himself so ugly because of his nose that no woman could ever love him, especially not his cousin Roxanne with whom he is deeply in love. So when Roxanne falls in love at first sight with the beautiful but uneducated yokel Christian, a new recruit to the Cadets, Cyrano volunteers to write his love letters for him. As the billet-doux pour in, Roxanne becomes ever more besotted and matters are further complicated by Cyrano’s commanding officer, the Count de Guiche, who, although married and many years her senior, is pursuing Roxanne with relentless persistence.

  • The Story of Lidice and Stoke-On-Trent

    The Story of Lidice and Stoke-On-Trent

    1 CULTURAL VALUE: EMPATHY, COMPASSION AND UNDERSTANDING The Story of Lidice and Stoke-on-Trent: Towards Deeper Understandings of the Role of Arts and Culture Jackie Reynolds, Janet Hetherington, Ann O’Sullivan, Kelvin Clayton and John Holmes Executive Summary This report details the research activities, findings and outputs from our six month Research Development Award exploring the value of arts and culture in relation to empathy, compassion and understanding. Our research focused on storytelling approaches in the context of exhibitions and community and participatory arts projects. We use as a case study the relationship between Stoke-on-Trent and the village of Lidice in the Czech Republic. Following the destruction of Lidice by the Nazis in 1942, Stoke-on-Trent Doctor and Councillor Barnett Stross launched the ‘Lidice Shall Live’ campaign, rallying local working people to contribute to a fund that eventually contributed to re-building the village after the war. Many people demonstrated tremendous empathy and compassion by donating up to a week’s wages despite the hardships of the time. In recent years, the links between Stoke-on-Trent and Lidice have been refreshed and are explored, expressed and celebrated almost exclusively through arts and culture. Our main research question is therefore why we would choose the medium of arts and culture to link distant geographical communities in ways that foster empathy, compassion and understanding. We held interviews and focus groups with a multi-disciplinary group of academics and with a wide range of artists and creative practitioners to discuss issues of empathy, compassion and understanding, and the value of arts and culture.
