  • The Paradise, Season 2 on MASTERPIECE Sundays, September 28 - November 16, 2014 on PBS
    There’s Trouble in Paradise! The Paradise, Season 2 On MASTERPIECE Sundays, September 28 - November 16, 2014 on PBS Order the carriage, raise your credit limit, and hurry to town: The Paradise is reopening for business! Joanna Vanderham (Blackwood) and Emun Elliott (Prometheus) return as the fairy-tale couple who found true love at a glamorous Victorian-era department store. The Paradise, Season 2, airs in eight dazzling episodes on MASTERPIECE, Sundays, September 28 - November 16, 2014 at 8pm ET on PBS. In last season’s thrilling climax, Elliott’s character, Moray, proprietor of The Paradise, gave up his wealthy bride-to-be on the brink of the altar to fall into the arms of his heart’s desire—his lowly sales assistant Denise, played by Vanderham. It’s a beautifully improbable match, and The Paradise, Season 2, tells what happens next. Critics absolutely adored Season 1. “The Paradise … sparkles and shimmers … it looks wonderful,” marveled The New York Daily News. “Compelling [and] addictive,” enthused The Philadelphia Enquirer. Variety called it “impeccably cast, extremely handsome … another first-rate costume drama.” And The Wall Street Journal discerned a “tale of love, ambition and dark competition for power, set in a glitzy world of opulence.” Elaine Cassidy (A Room with a View) reprises her role as Katherine, Moray’s jilted fiancée and the daughter of his chief creditor. Ben Daniels (House of Cards) stars as Katherine’s recently acquired husband, Tom Weston, an ex-army officer with an iron will, an excruciating wound, and a ruthless sense of honor. He also has an endearing young daughter from a previous marriage, Flora (Edie Whitehead).

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

  • Stephens Plays: 2: One Minute; Country Music; Motortown; Harper
    Simon Stephens Plays: 2 One Minute, Country Music Motortown, Pornography, Sea Wall One Minute: ‘Set in London in the aftermath of the disappearance of an eleven-year-old girl, One Minute brings together the girl’s mother, an unreliable witness, a student/barmaid and two investigating officers . the writing cleverly suggests how much the characters would like to connect but never really can.’ Guardian Country Music ‘spotlights four fateful moments in the life of Jamie Carris, an engaging but violent south Londoner. The play unfolds in a series of tightly focused two-handers, set before, during and after the prison sentences he has served for glassing one man and for killing another.’ Independent Motortown: ‘Danny – a squaddie who has served in Basra – is bringing the war back home [to] an England where the “war on terror” has become a war waged using the tactics of the terrorists. It is also a place of dubious moralities, small-time arms dealers and middle-class swingers and anti-war protesters. A searingly honest play written with a deadly coiled energy.’ Guardian Pornography: ‘Set in July 2005, between the announcement that London had been awarded the Olympics and the July 7 bombings, it tells seven entwining stories, including the imagined story of one of the bombers journeying towards London to commit an act of terrorism.’ Guardian Sea Wall: ‘A quietly gripping monologue about grief and belief . this play is like a deceptive calm blue sea beneath which lurks a ferocious riptide of sorrow.’ Guardian Simon Stephens is a British writer whose theatrical career began in the literary department of the Royal Court Theatre where he ran its Young Writers’ Programme.

  • Join Us and the Kiss Me, Kate Cast!
    President: Vice President: No. 481 - December 2012 Simon Russell Beale CBE Nickolas Grace Price 50p when sold Join us and the Kiss Me, Kate Cast! by Liz Schafer On Saturday 5 January 2013, the Vic-Wells Association will be inviting members of the cast of Kiss Me, Kate to take a break between shows and join our annual Twelfth Night party. But behind the characters of Fred Graham and Lilli Vanessi in Kiss Me, Kate lurk the ghosts of a great husband and wife theatrical team: Alfred Lunt (1892- 1977) and Lynn Fontanne (1887-1983). While it is well known that Kiss Me, Kate was inspired by the explosive quarrels of Lunt and Fontanne - stage-manager, Arthur Saint-Subber, used to watch in awe as Lunt and Fontanne rowed backstage and then swept on stage to perform The Taming of the Shrew as if nothing was wrong – it is less well known just how much Fred Graham’s Hannah Waddingham as Katherina production of The Shrew owes to Lunt and Fontanne’s 1935 production of the same play, a production so successful that it toured until 1940. “ The spanking scene But this theatrical debt was really brought home to me when I saw Michael offers us a moment of Blakemore’s Tony award winning revival of Kiss Me, Kate in the Martin Beck living theatre history” Theatre, New York, on a Saturday evening in April 2001. As it happened that day I had spent the entire morning in the Billy Rose Theatre collection reading a Lunt/Fontanne prompt copy and had the details of their comic business very fresh in my mind.

He has received widespread acclaim for his ‘invisible’ acting and ‘unshowy’ performances. This article provides insights into Davis’ approach to and view on the process of acting via a transcribed interview that was conducted as the closing keynote of the ‘Acting on Television: Analytical Methods and Approaches’ symposium hosted at the University of Reading on the 8 April 2016. This material is framed by a contextualising introduction that provides an overview of Davis’ work and proposes that John Flaus’ (1992) concept of lamprotes is useful for understanding Davis’ acting.
