🎭 POV: You pop into the theatre as Publicity Manager and stumble into 10 minutes of absolute Shakespearean mayhem… Lucky me – I caught a sneak peek of the very first rehearsal for The Complete Works of Shakespeare (Abridged) and wow… the script is already leaping off the page! Our dastardly trio of performers are already up on their feet, workshopping, experimenting, and throwing themselves headfirst into the chaos – with Director James Harris and newcomer and Assistant Director Anna Weavers right alongside them, sparking ideas and shaping the madness into magic. This fast-firing, high-energy parody squeezes all of Shakespeare’s plays (plus the sonnets!) into just two acts – with only three actors and a whole lot of imagination. Expect clever comedy, quick changes, and a very contemporary twist on the Bard. 🎭💥 🎟️ Tickets are already on sale – and this one’s part of the town-wide celebrations for Queen Elizabeth I! Don’t miss out. #CompleteWorksAbridged #ShakespeareWithASpin #TalismanTheatre #BehindTheScenes #RehearsalRoomBuzz 9
🎭 Set for Suspense Before the curtain rises and after the final bow, the stage tells a story all its own. This beautifully layered set, designed and directed by Peter Nouwens for The Mirror Crack’d, transformed the Talisman stage into a world of memory, mystery, and shifting perspectives. 🪞 Clever use of space, lighting, and split-scene staging allowed past and present to unfold side by side — creating what one reviewer called “a filmic effect that felt natural rather than contrived.” A huge thank you to Peter for his vision and artistry, and to the entire set build team who helped bring this atmospheric design to life. 📸 Empty stage captured post-show from Gwyn Davies - thank you! #TheMirrorCrackd #SetDesign #PeterNouwens #TalismanTheatre #KenilworthTheatre #BehindTheScenes #StageMagic #LiveTheatre 24
