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!

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

Meet the new cast!

The gang! Meet the brilliant new cast for the pilot Episode of ‘George Holmes and the 7 Dimensions’ Coming soon! We had an initial meeting this week so I could hear the voices and find the characters, but they were a great and brilliantly talented bunch. I’d forgotten how much fun working with young actors can be. Watch this space…!

[literarylondonhq]

It starts tomorrow!

The first logo of the new audio show. I’ve been blown away by the (especially young) talent who are going to help us get our first, 10 minute audio drama on the air. The first recording is tomorrow. The first episode of #GHATSD should be finished by the end of the month!

Trying to have a holiday, but time to get this out - a new Writing project. Get involved!

Fancy acting in a new Sci-Fi fantasy? I wrote George Holmes and the Seven Dimensions at school. In the 1960’s. It might be time it sees the light of day, so in spite of no budget, we’re going to try this – an audio experiment. We’re recording the first 15 minute episode to broadcast on Resonance 104.4fm and BohemianBritain.com. If it works… who knows? Please get in touch if you’re interested.…
