Summer Productions - When She Danced

by Martin Sherman (1988)
Directed by Tim Luscombe
Designed by Louis Carver

Paris, 1923. Isadora Duncan has an idea. To found a dance school in Italy. But where will the money come from? Most of her funds go to cover the exorbitant demands of her alcoholic Russian husband - Sergey Esenin, the insanely jealous, non-English speaking poet. A dinner party must be organised in order to charm the money out of an Italian diplomat Isadora met last night. Lobsters! Champagne? Sell the furniture!

Summer Productions - Love for Love

by William Congreve (1695)
Directed by Annie Tyson
Designed by Amelia Jane Hankin

‘Now my mind is set upon a man, I will have a man some way or other…’. So determines Miss Prue, up from the country and a valuable commodity in the marriage market. However, she has a mind of her own as do all the women in Congreve’s racy, dark comedy: Mrs Foresight, married to a superstitious old hypochondriac, Mrs Frail, her sister, somewhat past her shelf-life and desperate for a husband and not least Angelica, ‘difficult’ and independent, who is pursued by the libertine, Valentine. He has ruined himself financially among the women of the town, is threatened with disinheritance by his father, pursued by creditors and has a bastard child to support. Does he stand any chance, or indeed deserve, to get the girl?

Summer Productions - Phaedra's Love

by Sarah Kane (1996)
Directed by Iqbal Khan
Designed by Florence de Maré

Phaedra’s Love is Sarah Kane’s brutal and sinisterly comic vision of an ancient tale. The crown prince Hippolytus is bored, lethally bored. His stepmother, Phaedra, is distracted... Her husband left long ago after their marriage night to fight the wars and a clawing longing breeds within her... The consequences of this ‘love’ may burn the royal house and the streets without.

Congratulations to Ben Whishaw...

The 2003 RADA graduate has won Best Actor for his role as Richard II in the Hollow Crown series at the Television BAFTA Awards. The ceremony took place at the Southbank Centre on Sunday 12 May.

When Ben claimed his award he exclaimed, "I'm really, really surprised, I was hoping it would be one of the others just so I wouldn't have to come up here and say anything. I'm thrilled, it's amazing - I can't believe it."

Anne Reid also collected the award for Last Tango in Halifax which won Best Drama Series.
