Still looking...

...for a Friar, but other than that, everything is zipping along in the most amazing way! The enthusiasm that was apparent at the rehearsals on Tuesday was something to see (and feel!)...so many people.

As ever, the mood was light but the ideas were flowing and Malcolm seemed to floating around with a huge, beatific grin on his face. And well he may; we've got a terrific cast, some who have never performed Shakespeare before; but they're getting to grips with it all in the most surprising way. Thank you 'No Fear Shakespeare'.

As the weeks progress, we'll be taking some rehearsal photos and putting a small selection up here, but the bulk of them will be on the web-site (for the uninitiated, here it is again http://www.theinntheatrecompany.co.uk/ ) so pop over and have a look.

Keep your eyes open for things happening around Dartmouth, in relation to Dartmouth Shakespeare Week, and we'll also have the DSW t-shirts on sale in the next couple of weeks too - and that's another first for us.

Malcolm will be sticking a post or two up here in the not too distant future, just to let people know what goes through the mind of a Director putting on a production of this size...other than blind panic!

Been talking about next year's production already!! Let us know what you think. These are the short-listed plays:
Macbeth
King Lear
Cymbeline.

Going in a completely other direction next year, it seems, AND another new apsect: we will be having TWO directors! count 'em...2.
Janie (The Tempest) and Gil (who directed 'Buying Back The Past') will be taking up the challenge. Already looking forward to it!

Get in touch about the choices...always good to get feedback and suggestions.
