Donald Albery; audiences; The Boys in the Band; The Caretaker; The Intimate Theatre, Lyceum Theatre Crewe; Palmers Green; lighting; rep; Swansea theatre; theatre criticism; theatre going; theatre owners; tickets and reservations. DS: Can we start by talking about your first experience as a theatre goer with the theatre? SW: My first experiences will have been when I was between the ages of five and seven, and will have been taken by my parents many times. Firstly, I remember going to the Finsbury Park Empire as a birthday treat to see Barbara Kelly in the touring version of Peter Pan. DS: What year would this be? SW: It could have been, I suppose, 1954 - can’t quite remember how old I was, but certainly between ’52 and ’54, and through the fifties going to the theatre was a regular thing. Yes. We had a television, it was bought for me - I suppose as an incentive to recover from pneumonia, and sadly I did recover and they were 51 guineas down the shoot! But we didn’t watch it all the time. There was a choice to be made, it wasn’t on all the time, it was on or it was off, and Saturdays we used to go to Wood Green Empire. Mainly it was taking, I guess, number two tours or number three tours in those days, of West End successes, so we will have seen a play, such as Meet Mr Callaghan… Reluctant Heroes I remember.

    PRESS RELEASE Friday 1 February 2019 WRITERS RABIAH HUSSAIN, LETTIE PRECIOUS AND ROSS WILLIS AWARDED THE FIRST ROYAL COURT THEATRE AND KUDOS WRITING FELLOWSHIPS Ross Willis, Lettie Precious, Rabiah Hussain. Photo credit: Ali Wright Last night the Royal Court Theatre and Kudos announced that writers Rabiah Hussain, Lettie Precious and Ross Willis had been selected to each receive £10,000 through new writing fellowships created by the two companies. This is the first year that the fellowships, which support three writers already establishing a career in order to focus purely on their writing for six months, have been in place. Commenting on the Fellowships Lucy Morrison, Royal Court Associate Director said; “Stories are still one of the most powerful ways we have to get people to imagine a different life, a different world and to understand our experiences as humans. We need to ensure that the right people are given the opportunities to tell their stories and this fellowship enables that. These three extraordinary writers can make change happen. Together with Kudos, we will support, challenge them and celebrate them to make art and tell the stories everyone needs to hear.” Diederick Santer, CEO of Kudos added; “I’m truly buzzing at the potential of these three writers and delighted that Kudos has joined forces with the Royal Court again to find and encourage fresh new voices. This scheme really gets to the heart of the issue for any emerging writer; how to live while building a career. It will be thrilling to see how these incredibly talented writers develop given the space and support to immerse themselves entirely in their work.” The Royal Court and Kudos met with 13 writers who perceived that there are barriers to getting their work developed and produced in theatre and television.

London boasts a greater array of theatre than anywhere else in the world. From the world famous musicals in the West End to the public funded theatres of the Southbank and the Royal Opera House, via the pubs and clubs of the fringe theatre scene: offering everything from burlesque to Shakespeare – and sometimes burlesque Shakespeare! On any given night, thousands of actors are entertaining hundreds of thousands of visitors and residents, in hundreds of venues.

Whatever may come and go, for eight performances a week, fifty-two weeks a year, London’s theatres collectively play host to the greatest show on earth! Such a bewildering array of world-class events causes its own problems. At 7:15 every night, everyone wants to pay their bill at the restaurant, at 10:30 every night everyone wants a taxi, and at 10:30 on a Sunday morning everyone expects their breakfast! So how do you make sure that your trip to London’s Theatreland is the best that you could hope for?
