Overwhelmed and articles of note
Am feeling completely overwhelmed by upcoming play (for those of you who don’t know: YELLOW GENTLEMEN at the Oval House, 14 Feb to 4 Mar – see I just write it automatically it’s so on my mind) – I should try not to be involved in too much production stuff, but inevitably I do…
Still, anyone want to come to my gala night or help organise it?!
There are quite a few shows I am missing and many articles of note. Here are some:
Michael Coveney on the RSC. He asks and maybe answers “the fundamental question remains: what is special about theatre made by the RSC? Why should the taxpayer support a large-scale institution that is fighting to justify itself, rather than a newer, more radical one that a new Peter Hall might be hatching?”
Two things on the Improbable event. Susannah Clapp’s take on it. Improbable’s first notes on it….. 56: What can audiences do?
57: Conflict Management
58: Who We Fancy In The Room
59: TO GET NEW AUDIENCES INTERESTED IN EXPERIMENTAL THEATRE
60: How can practitioners who work with people with challenging and volatile be-haviours be better prepared and supported?….35: Why do we need a separate theatre for Black work?
36:The Mainstream does not exist….
…89) What would happen if we closed all proscenium arch theatres for fifteen years?
More from me on this later.
Dominic Cavendish on Mehmet Ergen and the Arcola, although there’s no way that photo was taken on Arcola seats…
