Acting

Lord Harpenden in WHILE THE SUN SHINES – the first BSC show, with a very special group of actors – Lucy [...]

SKELLIG
A fabulous week in Guildford ended with another blazing performance on Saturday night – with a perfect audience who drank it up. This play is such an extraordinary story to perform. I’ve rarely encountered a role like Skellig: it just keeps surprising you: on Thursday I finally worked out how to say the final line [...]

Sad news from the news
I heard today that Terry Grimley is leaving the Birmingham Post after many, many years as Arts Editor. This is a huge loss to the arts in the West Midlands. This once great newspaper, which had national status, is about to go weekly. There could hardly be a sadder tale told of how the mighty [...]

The BSC is in that wonderful position again of having three excellent shows on the road. David Wood’s brand new adaptation of GEORGE’S MARVELLOUS MEDICINE opened this week in Horsham and went beautifully – a wonderful cast and crew doing a fabulous job – and the audiences loved it. Big congrats to the HORRIBLE HISTORIES [...]
