Beauty and the Future

Well, I managed a full Christmas run of Beauty & The Beast at the lovely Rose Theatre in Kingston (with the obligatory Omicron hiatus, of course), so eight shows or more a week  is still possible in this mad climate! A wonderful cast, including two groups of 23 amazing young people who made all the effort worthwhile and fabulous songs from Eamonn O’Dwyer.

  Since then, translation work and teaching improvisation has been the bread and butter; but a reading of Coriolanus in Stratford for the wonderful ‘Shakespeare’s Coming Home’ project has kicked off the spring, and gigs for The School of Night and with Austentatious! (a first for me) are lined up in the coming months, as well as an in-house VR film for Sky.  With a Slung Low project in the summer, a new verbatim piece with Living Words and a short film in the pipeline, there are plenty of pots bubbling away. And thankfully, the sun seems to making more of an appearance at last…
