...in the News

12/08/07 » Forgotten Classics at the Kings Head
Continuing the theme of short projects which are dominating 2007, Ben directed rehearsed readings of two plays by classic American authors- F Scott Fitzgerald and Eugene O’Neill as part of a quadruple bill of one act plays at the Kings Head. The near-capacity audience gave a warm reception to both.

23/07/07 » Workshop for Giudecca
Ben directed a workshop for the Giudecca theatre company for the play The Yellow Ticket, once famous for being Laurence Olivier’s first foray into Hollywood when it was adapted as a film. The company is considering mounting the first revival of this play about prostitution in pre-war Russia for several decades at some point in the future.

12/07/07 » Lighting "The Forbidden Land"
Once again, Ben lit a production for someone else this week- this time a ballet created by Helen Guscott for the Denise Winmill School of Dance which she co-runs. The ballet, an original dark fairytale based around the music of Shostakovich, comprised a cast of 100 dancers between 6 and 18, and included a brilliant central performance from a soloist for the Royal Ballet. It once again enhanced Ben’s interest in lighting, which he has designed for most of his own shows for the last ten years as well as several for other people.

06/05/07 » A Shorter Measure of Measure For Measure
At short notice, Ben stepped in to direct the first of several staged readings of Shakespeare plays for Metta Theatre at the White Bear. He chose Measure for Measure, a play he has hoped to direct for many years, and working on this abridged reason has made his keenness all the more acute.

23/02/07 » Back to the Drawing Board
Following the eleventh hour cancellation of his writer-director debut, I’m the King of the Castle, Ben has been using his unexpectedly barren spring to get back to work on various writing projects. These include a second act for his first play All Talk, researching a new play called for now The Kids Project, and working with his agent on finding a future for Castle. He will also be helping to direct a cabaret of songs and operatic arias for Porcupine Productions in Grantham, for whom he helped direct Dido and Aeneas last year.
