Publicity

The first review is out. Considering the reviewer has a very clear idea of how Shakespeare should be performed, she's actually very complimentary. Jog on.

We were also previewed, thrice.

We were Venue's Pick of the Week and got a whole column on pg.7 to ourselves. They went with the press release I sent them in the end, and mighty good it sounds too. Well done yous.

This is what the good lady Roche said of us on the BBC website by way of a preview:

And this is how good old Gerry Parker wrote us up in the Bristol Evening Post on 5th April:

"Local companies have been more inclined to present the Bard's work in traditional style but the Kelvin Players are about to change all that with their production of Macbeth ...
"A clue to where director Richard J Thomas and producer Raychel Hills are heading can be found in the club's events calender which carries a photograph of Gen. and Eva Peron next to the information about Macbeth.
They are transporting the Scottish play away from the damp gloom of the Highlands to the steamy jungle of 1970s Latin America.
Alex Needham courageously takes on the role of Macbeth which has defied many a top professional actor [no pressure Alex!].
...
The wonderful role of Lady Macbeth, a woman eaten out with naked ambition, has gone to Sue Keeler. Among a very strong cast, Simon Shorrock plays Banquo, John Lomas Macduff, Tim James [it's Thornton from now on] Malcolm and Richard Jones as the murdered King Duncan [I think he's a bit confused with Hamlet here].
Three ladies who should literally have a whale of a time [really? literally? literally have a whale of a time? Hills, have you ordered any whales?] are Janet McDermott, Cait Davies and Suzanne Faria who play the witches."

Thanks to Mrs B (future mother-in-law) for catching that.

Somewhere out there was another BEP article by Gerry, but I missed it, do send it to me if you come across it...
