Next Workshop
Stage Combat! Led by Tim Lodge Unitarian Meeting House, Churchgate St, Bury St Edmunds Monday 25 April 2022 7.30 pm All welcome. Members and non-members alike. Come and introduce yourself! Slaps, punches, kicks and stabbings... Just about all plays have one or other of these violent actions, even playful ones.
But they must be done safely and effectively, not least because, as actors, you'll need to do it night after night! Come to this workshop and learn how it's done. Also, an introduction to sword fighting. Using our collection of rapiers, we'll show you how to fight safely and dramatically with these weapons, a regular occurrence in many Shakespeare and other productions. I look forward to seeing you! Tim Download Shakespeare's own advice on acting here...

Shakespeare meets Hollywood, and let’s just say they don’t see eye to (Private) eye in this brilliant comedy by Nick Newman and Ian Hislop.
In the sleepy Suffolk village of Stratford St John, the local am-dram group is in a desperate situation. They need to raise funds to save their little theatre (actually a barn…) so they hit on the idea of asking a well-known actor to play King Lear. That’s bound to raise the money needed! Hollywood action hero Jefferson Steel agrees to take on the role as a way of reviving his flagging career, believing, of course, that he will be playing with the Royal Shakespeare Company at the other Stratford (on Avon!) Enjoy the mayhem that ensues when Hollywood arrogance butts heads with the village’s own ‘star’ player and see how the women of the company react to having a real-life, womanising action hero in their midst. A love letter to amateur dramatics, as the authors describe it. PLus you get to see all the best bits of King Lear in just 10 minutes! “And thus the whirligig of time brings in his revenges.” |
