BWW Review: Whitchurch Examines Marriage in Shakespeare his wife and the dog

It takes an awfully long time to get to the point in Philip Whitchurch's original one act play directed by Julia St. John. Set during a fictional night in the lives of William Shakespeare (played by Whitchurch) and his wife Anne (Sally Edwards) at their home in Stratford-upon-Avon, the story reveals a couple in their later years, bickering but still clearly in love, yet it takes nearly half the play and a frustratingly slow plod through its exposition to get there.

Guest Blog: Composer Steven Edis On Musical I CAPTURE THE CASTLE

Our musical I Capture The Castle started its life several years ago on a suggestion from Teresa Howard, following up an idea from her daughter Frances. Teresa and I had recently completed our first collaboration, Possessed (a slightly folky/Gothic telling of the factual story of artist William Morris and his circle). We'd workshopped and showcased Possessed to general acclaim, but at the time struggled to take it further and give it a proper production. So we really just thought it was easier and more fun to start writing a new piece.

BWW Reviews: THE HISTORY BOYS, Crucible Theatre Sheffield, May 22 2013

It is appropriate that in the year that Sheffield Theatres is wearing The Stage's best regional theatre badge it has been showcasing the region. We have already had archetypal stories of pits and the decline of the steel industry; this time we are at school in Sheffield with Alan Bennett.
