Next up in the Crescent Theatre studio is a new adaptation (by director Andrew Cowie) of Schiller’s classic text, ‘Mary Stuart’. This is my favourite image from the first dress rehearsal but it was only taken because I wanted a full length shot of Elizabeth’s (actress Naomi Gilbert) frock for the costume designer. Lucky.

‘Big, bold and rude’ is how director Robert Ball describes the summer tour production from the Crescent Theatre of ‘Merry Wives of Windsor’. Which is as it should be. Catch the fun at many lovely venues around the West Midlands starting at the Botanical Gardens on June 29th and ending on 18th July at Harvington Hall.
Lots of nice comments from audience members who have seen ‘Festen’ already. We’ve taken a selection from those kind enough to post their comments on Facebook.
“It was extremely moving and is a tremendous production with performances that will haunt for a long time. I don’t know how to recommend it highly enough. This is a must see Crescent production and I look forward to watching again next Saturday. Have a great run.”
Jo Mason
“”..one of the best plays I’ve seen full stop. Brilliant cast, amazing direction. Just fantastic. You HAVE to see it. You’ll be sorry if you don’t ”
Leasa Clarke
“Saw the most amazing play last night at The Crescent Theatre called ‘Festen’ – if you don’t watch anything else this year I would suggest you watch this – it is just unbelievably haunting, haven’t stopped thinking about it all day. Was good it finishes early as i needed those stiff drinks after!” Katie Edwards
“Thought Festen was brilliant. Well done everyone. Spellbinding” Craig Deeley
“Saw Festen at the Crescent and thought it was wonderfully harrowing. Brilliantly done by an excellent cast.” Andrea Stephenson
“Gobsmackingly superb in every way! Not just a must-see. In my case it’s a must-see twice. I’m going again and just you try and stop me! Congratulations to everyone involved.” – Andy Jones
