Dick Turpin’s Last Ride

I’ve been creating some dances, some fights and lots of horse riding for Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds’ new production, Dick Turpin’s Last Ride by Daniel O’Brien, which is touring until mid-November. 

Dashing horseman, daring robber, swashbuckling swordsman, adored by every woman, respected by every man.

Or poacher, rapist, thief and murderer, who swung from York gallows in 1739.

Which do you want to believe?

Awakening Durga- Talkback 2011

I’m delighted to have been asked to direct a rehearsed reading of Awakening Durga, a brand new play by Anu Kumar, as part of Kali Theatre’s Talkback 2011 season at the Soho Theatre.

Now an annual event, Talkback is the culmination of Kali’s Writer Development Programme, a ten month series of workshops and dramaturgy for new and emerging writers. Seven selected plays will be presented over five nights in an ambitious week of rich and diverse plays for tomorrow by some of the freshest and most original voices in new theatre writing.

Whose Shoes? coming soon...

Casting is done and design plans are well underway for Nottingham Playhouse Roundabout’s Christmas production of Whose Shoes? by Mike Kenny, which I’ll be directing, with music by my usual partner in crime, Wayne Walker-Allen.

Little Eldemina loves to dance. One day she is invited to dance for Queen Cinderella, who is so enchanted that she gives Eldemina her beautiful glass slippers. Eldemina is very happy – until Madeline, her new baby sister, is born...

The show will run from the 17th-31st December in the Playroom at Nottingham Playhouse, before a tour of schools and venues in Jan/Feb 2012.

The Worm Collector

I’ve just finished rehearsing JC Marshall’s play The Worm Collector, for Nottingham Playhouse Roundabout, and it’s touring schools in the East  Midlands until the end of October.

An innovative multi-media play for 9-12 year-olds, The Worm Collector tells the story of Mark, a young boy working on a school project. Armed with a video camera, he is running a competition to see who in his family has the best scar. They all count, even the tiny ones; and it’s not about the size of the scars, but what you did to get them that determines who wins. But sometimes, it’s the scars we can’t see that cause the most damage.
