THE SCIENCE OF ACTING

Written by Sam Kogan, edited by Helen Kogan

Published by Routledge on Thursday 22nd October 2009, priced £16.99 pbk

Ever noticed how your mood can change throughout the day even when you are just spending time by yourself? Or, do you have a friend that makes the same relationship mistakes, but does not recognise the pattern reappearing each time? In The Science of Acting Sam Kogan explores the notion that there is undetected thinking, which seemingly controls many parts of our everyday lives. This concept is known as ‘invisible thinking’.

The Lady Boys Of Bangkok: Mile High

The Lady Boys of Bangkok: Mile High

Although it may seem hard to believe, a tiny slice of Bangkok’s exotic nightlife has been transported from Thailand to Tyneside. Nestled in the heart of Newcastle city centre is the Sabai Pavilion, the venue that, for the next four weeks, is playing host to The Lady Boys of Bangkok.

Porridge

Theatre Royal, Newcastle

The popularity of Porridge is a phenomenon that cannot be disputed. The classic television series, created by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, ran for 20 episodes over a period of nine years from 1974 to 1977 and became a cult hit. In 2004, it was voted seventh in a BBC poll of The 100 Greatest British Sit-Coms. The success of the programme spawned a feature film, two Christmas specials and a 1978 sequel series, Going Straight.

Rain Man

Published by: Sue Marks on Wednesday 16th September 2009 12:09am

Rain Man

Adapted for the stage by Dan Gordon.

Based on the MGM motion picture story by Barry Morrow.

Directed by Robin Herford

Reviewed by Sue Marks at Milton Keynes Theatre on Monday 14th September 2009.

A flier for this play quoted the Sunday Telegraph as saying “guaranteed tears as well as laughter”. I did not find this was the case, true there were some poignant moments but I found this the most “feel good” play I have seen in a long time. The play opens with a brash Charlie Babbitt wheeling and dealing in his office and barely breaking stride when told of his father’s death.

Stepping Out - King’s Theatre, Glasgow, 15-19 September, 2009

Published by: Cameron Lowe on Thursday 17th September 2009 02:09pm

The 25th anniversary tour of Richard Harris’s “Stepping Out” opened at the King’s Theatre last night to a warm reception from an appreciative Glasgow audience enjoying a freshly refurbished auditorium.

The play is probably best known for its 1991 movie incarnation starring Liza Minnelli, Shelley Winters, Ellen Greene, Jane Krakowski and Julie Walters. The powerhouse nature of the movie cast indicates the ensemble nature of the piece where every character is equally important to the successful delivery of comedy and drama.
