Hamlet
Hot on the heels of Doctor Faustus, I'm pleased to return to Southwark Playhouse in January to continue my long-time association with Lazarus Theatre company, discussing their brand-new production of Shakespeare's Hamlet.
Doctor Faustus post-show video and photos: What would make you sell your soul to the devil?
What might entice you to sell your soul to the devil? Fame? Riches? Immortality? World peace? A rent-free London flat? Four pints of Guinness? At my post-show Q&A for a production of Doctor Faustus, that was an irresistible question to pose to the company.
Doctor Faustus
I love Lazarus Theatre! My long-time association with this visionary ensemble company continues with their 2022 season, which launches with their reinvention of Marlowe's classic Doctor Faustus, in a limited season at London's Southwark Playhouse.
Peter Pan (cancelled)
One ordinary evening turns into one extraordinary adventure… Peter Pan, the boy who wouldn’t grow up, flies into Greenwich Theatre in this all-new ensemble version of JM Barrie’s much-loved classic, adapted and directed by Ricky Dukes.
Hedda Gabler (cancelled)
Ibsen’s searing masterpiece Hedda Gabler comes to the stage in this blistering new version adapted by Lazarus Associate Director Sara Reimers.
Salome Q&A video and photos: What would the censor have made of this regendered version of Oscar Wilde’s play?
After The Tempest and Lord of the Flies, my last of three post-show Q&As with Lazarus Theatre company for their 2019 season at Greenwich Theatre was last night to their new version of Oscar Wilde's Salome.
Lord of the Flies Q&A video and photos: Are humans inherently good or evil?
Last night I chaired my second of three post-show Q&As with Lazarus Theatre Company as part of their 2019 residency at Greenwich Theatre - their highly acclaimed return production of Lord of the Flies.
The Tempest Q&A video and photos: What happens when Prospero & Miranda becomes a mother-son relationship?
In my first of three post-show Q&As this year with Lazarus Theatre, I was at Greenwich Theatre for this pioneering ensemble company's exciting re-examination of Shakespeare's The Tempest.
Q&A podcast and photos: What does Marlowe’s Edward II tell us about identity and gay rights?
The plays may have been written 420-odd years apart, but I was really struck by how many parallels there were between the discussion I hosted last week, to the European premiere of Jordan Tannahill's Late Company, and the one I hosted last night, to Christopher Marlowe's 16th-century classic Edward II.
