THEATRE REVIEW: A Christmas Carol

THEATRE REVIEW: A Christmas Carol @edfringe @AssemblyFest @GuyMasterson @NickHennegan

Before a wooden chair and a rumpled raincoat suspended from the ceiling on a hook, an angelic rendition of O Little Town of Bethlehem gives way to a harsh soundscape which transports the action from the workhouses and slavery of Victorian England to the food banks and zero-hour contracts of Brexit Britain: a cacophony of car horns, jarring synthesisers and Neil Armstrong’s iconic quote “That’s…

Happy Christmas, Creative Producer!

Our Special Offer Newsletter...

Well, here we are.  The time of special festive offers and of course, pantomime.  (Oh yes it is...!)

We have been talking about having a Christmas get-together. There are now an amazing 130 of us!  But due mainly to the scrum of things I’ve been working on up to the festive season, I thought we might have a Christmas get together - next year!  In January.  Probably in London as that is where most of us are based.  Unless you fancy somewhere else, in which case, please let me know.

As I’ve mentioned before, being a producer, especially an independent producer, is a hard slog and you should congratulate yourself on surviving another year. We might not all have castles like Cameron, but meeting the rent is no less an achievement - especially in London. And don’t forget, Sir Cam had 14 flops before he found his first hit.

And talking of surviving - I’ve gone back to my Writer/Director roots for the first time in many years this Christmas. I’ve crafted a national theatre tour with the Olivier Award winning actor, Guy Masterson. He’s a prodigious talent is Guy and also understands what a slog our business can be. Which is why he’s prepared to break his theatre tour to perform in - a Pub!  It’s my doing and a nod to my early roots with Maverick Theatre in Birmingham.

So if you’d like to come to The Wheatsheaf,W1 this Sat or Sunday 16 & 17 Dec, it’d be great to see you and there will be mince pies afterwards.  And the odd drink!  There's only two shows available now (Phew!) and I can’t offer you free tickets with such a small capacity - I’ve done the figures, and as you know, Spreadsheets Are Our Friends - but if you use the code ‘Charles’ when booking, you will get 50% off!  So an adult ticket will be about £9 and kids a fiver. Bargain! Beat that Old Vic!

Tickets and info from - 

www.TheChristmasCarol.co.uk (And if you run your own venue or space, you might like to book it for next year!)

So hopefully I’ll see you this weekend - come and see how to make excellent theatre in a non-theatre space. I have a few desires to roll out a national pub project perhaps...

And if you can’t make the weekend or our January meet, at least try and have some ‘me time’ over the holiday period. ‘Normal’ people have no idea how exhausting it is constantly thinking, planning - and worrying - about making theatre.

Bless us all, every one.

Onwards!

Calling Hammersmith and Fulham Artists...

As we know, being an artist can often be a lonely life. So it was great to be invited to the #Irish Cultural Centre for a networking event for all #artists based in #Hammersmith and #Fulham. There was a free glass of wine and lots of good will! We’re going to start a West London Artists page on here, listing talents and events, etc. Contact Nick for details if you’re a West London artist.

Help! Best Winston Churchill Charity Fundraiser?

So, hive mind, thanks to the generosity of all concerned, we will show our acclaimed Edinburgh Festival Fringe show ‘Winston and David’ on Zoom on Sunday 1st December, at 3pm to mark the 150th Birthday of Winston Churchill. (The Churchill Arms, Kensington should stream it! Lol!) The tickets will be free, but because it is a fundraiser do you think ‘Buy me a Coffee’, KO-FI, or another platform…

Bob Marley, U2, CBS Music… and George Holmes!

Not Bob or Bono. Just Nick Hennegan..! Preparing for the first episode of George Holmes and the 7 Dimensions, I was suddenly aware of our location in Hammersmith. The Cross Keys Pub where we recorded the episode is a a great local boozer, but I’ve just realised it’s in a very refined area! And so am I! A bit of a shock for a kid from an inner city council estate! Which, by the way, is where…

A beautiful creation!

The cast and Director! I love writing, love actors, love directing and love kids and LOVED seeing these little actors bringing my fictional characters to life tonight. ‘George Holmes and the 7 Dimensions’ is coming soon. #ghatsd
