SUMMARY:Wearing the Trousers: the True Story of Vesta Tilley - Theatre Shop Clevedon
DESCRIPTION:Wearing The Trousers: the true story of Vesta Tilley plots the life of one of the most successful cross-dressing music hall stars that most of the world has never heard of. Spanning Vesta’s life from childhood to her mid-seventies\, Vesta Tilley has been written for Seizing The Day Company’s diva performer\, Alexandra Pickford. Alex is also in her mid-seventies and will bring the show to life in a series of flashbacks supported by a multi-role cast of three additional actors. \nUsing original music and songs from Vesta Tilley’s playbook and some reworked pieces\, the story leads us from her dotage in Monaco back to her theatre debut aged five\, to the extraordinary People’s Tribute book\, presented to her by Ellen Terry and signed by admirers Charlie Chaplin\, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle\, Harry Houdini and two million members of the public\, to celebrate her career and retirement from the stage.

SUMMARY:The Plough and The Stars - Bristol Old Vic
DESCRIPTION:A centenary staging of Seán O’Casey’s The Plough and The Stars is running in the Weston Studio of Bristol Old Vic this week. \nThe re-interpretation explores the 1916 Easter Rising in Ireland through a modern lens. \nAs the quest for Irish independence ignites the streets\, O’Casey’s sharp wit and unflinching depiction of ordinary people\, expose the conflict between nationalist idealism and the harsh struggle for survival. \nThe production is performed by graduating actors from the Bristol School of Acting and Technical Theatre Arts students. \n  \nDirector – Stuart Wood\nDesigner – Cat Fuller\nLighting – Ryan Joseph Stafford\nSound – Joseff Harris\nCostume – Rhi Good\n  \nFeatured Image: Craig Fuller
