It’s not all about plays, plays, musicals and plays (and the Wassail) at the Crescent. There’s also a thriving social side to the theatre including the Half Moon Comedy Club (run by member and comedian Craig Deeley) and the upcoming Unplugged musical night. Both of these events take place in the Crescent bar and are always great nights. I went along last night to enjoy the comedic talent and especially Barabara Nice (pictured).

Mary Stuart
I am delighted to confirm that I have been invited to direct a new translation of Friedrich Schiller’s fascinating political thriller, Mary Stuart. The parallels with current politics are uncanny; internment without trial, religious fanaticism, a divided Europe and a Government struggling to establish a legal basis to act against a terrorist threat.
The performance dates are 6 – 13 November 2010 and it will be in The Ron Barber Studio. I’ll hold auditions in August but in the meantime you can download the script here
You can also download some background notes on the play here.
