The trailer is done and is now available on the website at http://www.loft-theatre.co.uk/shows/piaf_trail.php

Check it out and let us know what you think.

We are in the last 2 weeks of rehearsal and things are shaping up nicely.

From the backstreets of Paris to worldwide fame, this play with music charts the adult life of Édith Gassion (known to all as “Piaf”, the sparrow), the celebrated French singer and entertainer whose constant companions were alcohol, drugs and heartache. Including such classic songs as La Vie en Rose, Mon Dieu and Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien, the play vividly explores the glamour and squalor, the rise and fall of this complex, fragile and enigmatic performer – intimate, intense and indestructible, ready to make any sacrifice for her art – who continues to be remembered and revered for her exceptional voice and extraordinary troubled life.

Mrs Reece of the Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society says:
"Well, it's only a few weeks now until our magnificent production of Macbeth has its opening night, and we at the FAHETGDS are very excited.  As everyone knows, Macbeth is Shakespeare's most romantic tragedy, about a man who loves his wife so much he's prepared to commit murder so the couple can make their way in the world.  Everything is in place, our lines are almost learned, and, most importantly, we have a splendid raffle with Mrs Dabney's traditional cakes and pastries as prizes!!!  So make sure you come and support us - a fun time is guaranteed!!!!"

I so enjoyed the penultimate night of a local production of a play that I felt motivated to write a review of it. Prior to going to see the play, I saw a review of it that, in my mind, was unjustifiably harsh. The following review is my attempt to counter this.

The play, George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, was produced by Arena Theatre at the Regent Centre, Christchurch and was performed on the 8th, 9th and 10th March. Many people identify Pygmalion with its better known musical incarnation “My Fair Lady”, and this can affect the way you watch it. If you watch it as a standalone piece and not wait for the song cues (as one reviewer did), then you can enjoy the play for what it is: a good piece of theatre!

First time director, Terri Jowett, did a creditable job. However, I did feel that the action could have been brought further down stage and more use made of the thrust. This was really only used in the first scene and the setting of a number of the scenes towards the rear of the stage tested the projection and diction of some of the cast members almost too much. On occasion, I had trouble hearing them. This is a shame, as it really is a clever and amusing script, which I did not get the full benefit of. The set was good, and the use of a hinged wall was an excellent way to affect some efficient scene changes. Being involved in the amateur theatre myself, I can never really understand why so many groups do not use some kind of carpeting on the stage for indoor scenes, particularly where they are trying to project an image of upper middle class opulence. Whilst I do accept that it creates another item to strike for scene changes, carpet can transform the look of the set and give it a much more realistic and homely image.

The costumes were generally good, although they could have done with being a little more extravagant – though I do accept there may have been budgetary constraints. The fact that Higgins spent most of his time in a formal tail suit was a little off-putting, and I would have much preferred to see him in a less formal day suit for some of the time. Perhaps having him in a smoking jacket and wearing those ubiquitous slippers? Being a little more picky, I did not understand why Freddy appeared at an “at home” without a jacket on (even indoors, jackets were worn) and the ladies would not have ventured out of the house without gloves. Also, Eliza should have been a little more dirty, at least at the start of the play. Anyway, that is enough of that.

Let’s move on to the acting! Higgins was admirably portrayed by Jeremy Mills and there were no issues regarding his diction and projection as I could hear every word clearly. This is a mammoth part, where the actor rarely leaves the stage once the play has started and Jeremy managed to capture the arrogance and childlike petulance required for the part perfectly.. The lines came thick and fast, barely giving the audience time to laugh at some of his outrageous observations before the next came.

Eliza, played by the very attractive Jill Richmond, was excellent. Her timing and delivery during the “at home” where she layered faux pas upon faux pas in such respectable company was particularly impressive. The scenes between her and Higgins, particularly their verbal sparring were a particular joy. Some productions tend to suggest some sort of romantic attachment between these characters, but this was much less apparent in this production and was much more ambiguous in this regard – which I rather enjoyed.

Patrick D’Ardenne was a competent Pickering, although I did feel that his delivery was quite slow and his diction was lacking in places. Stephen Tonkin as Eliza’s father gave a solid performance, which is a credit to him as he apparently joined the cast at a very late stage. I do, however, wish that he hadn’t delivered a lot of his lines with his eyes shut! Jane Taylor’s Mrs Higgins was well played, but could have done with being a little more of a matriarchal harridan, rather than the nice motherly image she projected. There needs to be a reason that Henry is so tied to her apron strings as he seemed to be! The other cast members did what was expected of them and provided some delightful moments. It was clear that the audience thoroughly enjoyed the performance, and I will definitely go to more Arena productions in the future; if this is any indication of the quality one can expect from them.

TITANIC PLAY - The Postcard!
Now available for amateur performance for the first time during the Titanic centenary year. This award winning and critically acclaimed play has a small cast (9) and is easy to stage: "Heartwrenching...Unsinkable!" (Independent)

"A post card sent by an Irish emigrant to his lover on April 11th, 1912, just before he was about to board the Titanic on her maiden voyage and eventually auctioned in 1990, forms the starting point for this new play...the human story that was attached, as related by writer and director David Christy, is priceless.The strength and fascination of the play is that, rather like a Thomas Hardy novel or a Greek tragedy, there is an underlying feeling that everything that happens is about to add a drop more oil to the wheels of fate. And this underlying sense of fated tragedy is given added power because Christy implicates a whole community in the outcome, propelling the individual characters along their allotted paths." (What's On, London)

 "The cast of seven capture the whole feel of life in that close knit community; characters sparkle out of it. This is old Ireland, Milkwood style...we go home pondering on true values." (Derby Telegraph) Contact: slatterychristy@aol.co.uk or www.christyplays.com

The Theatre Scene in Edinburgh and the Lothians is incredibly vibrant, and over the coming weeks I will be profiling many of the companies in the area, with one eye on performances at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for 2012.  

Many of the groups in this area are members of the Scottish Community Drama Association, and the Edinburgh & Lothians District have just launched their fantastic new website, which is a great tool for sharing information.  Whether you’re involved with amateur drama in Edinburgh or not, please check it out and see what we’re all about.  http://www.scda-edin-loth.org.uk/index.html.  

Here, you can find out about what’s going on in our area, including what’s coming up by local groups in the Fringe.

I want to particularly mention the script library.  This is a fabulous resource for all our clubs, or just for personal interest.  The Librarian is Douglas Currie and you can find his details on the SCDA Edinburgh & Lothians Website.  

What’s On!

Dorset is a hotbed of amateur theatre. The Bournemouth-Poole-Christchurch conurbation alone provides a score of groups, not to mention the New Forest, Weymouth, Dorchester and the more rural parts of the county.

There is an excellent resource for anyone in the area, visiting, or moving here via the website www.sceneone.biz. Set up by Linda Kirkman, Scene One provides news of all upcoming productions, auditions, news, gossip... and reviews. I can't recommend the site highly enough.  

It started out as a monthly printed magazine before becoming a website, and gradually the magazine, due to costs, has been shelved - but the site still remains, and every month an online PDF version of the magazine is produced so you can get the news and views in gazetteer form.

While it's a wonderful resource, it was born from a huge lack of support from other printed media in an area dominated by the local newspaper and its associated magazines. Time was, the paper supported theatre very well - giving over a page, or usually two, to amateur drama every Friday night - and supporting the many, many companies in the area by sponsoring and hosting an annual awards dinner with winners voted for by its readers. 

Alas, times have changed. For more than a decade now the local press has given scant attention to amateur theatre, focussing instead on national tours by well-established comedians and musicians that invariably sell out before the previews are published, and which have moved on to the next town before the ink is dry on the (inevitably large) review.

We are blessed to have people giving of their spare time to perpetuate a presence for us - but it's such a shame that amateur theatre is supported mainly by an essentially amateur (and therefore niche) media. With attendances falling through the floor, it would be great to have meaningful support (beyond paid-for listings and reviews appearing in print the week after the run) from general media outlets, to spread the word to a wider demographic.

We all know that amateur theatre can often be just as good as professional productions - but we're preaching to the choir. Dorset itself has, just this year, had one of its companies - Regent Rep - reach the very final stages of a national Sky TV competition to find the best amateur theatre in the UK, and previously, we have had at least two companies - Swish of the Curtain and Funky Little Choir - in the finals of Channel 5's Don't Stop Believin' choir competition; and that's just the stuff that gets on the telly: The Guardian regularly lists Brownsea Open-Air Theatre as one of the "must-see events of the summer" - and it's run entirely by amateurs.

But, to pick up the local paper, you'd never know that there were over fifty different theatre companies within an hour's drive, all performing miracles of blood, sweat and tears twice or more a year.

Is this just a peculiarity to Dorset? How are other areas supported? Are you finding attendances dwindling, and if so, are compromises in play choice having to be made? If you find a lack of support, how does your area respond?

The FAHETGDS have been rehearsing Macbeth for nine months and tonight's performance is their chance to go to the regional finals in Welwyn Garden City. But Lady Macbeth has got lost, another of the cast is in a plastercast...and there's one more little snag...they can't act. A hilarious look at the worst of amdram.
