UK Theatre Network - The Best In UK Entertainment
-
February 17th, 2007 at 7:51 amHi Friend
Well, where do I start. I'm exhausted already and it's not even lunchtime on Saturday. There has been a significant increase in activity recently from all around the country, in all areas of the world of entertainment. I've just got through the backlog after a few technical hitches.
I found out that if you have a pop up or ad blocker, it blocks areas of uktheatre.net so you may need to add it to your "allow list". I also couldn't delete any mail and found that when your DELETED ITEMS is large (8000 in mine), certain versions of the software stop working and give you an error message designed for engineering scientists ! Someone told me that they don't get any of these types of problems on their APPLE MAC ! Hmmm......
There's now lots more ways to find out more and get involved and even tell others about your performance. The Downloads area has lots of press releases and pictures. The News and Headlines have the current stories hitting the headlines and the What's On section now includes dance, comedy, film and gigs, as well as your favourite theatre shows around the UK.
DANCE - News on Dancing on Ice, Dance UK's Dance Manifesto and Richard Alstons Dance Company.STANDUP - Details of Frank Skinner and Richard Herring tours.
GIGS - A feature on Indiana Gregg who is touring with Lemar and coming your way soon.
FILM - Details of Adam Sandlers latest film Reign Over Me and Client Eastwood's back in the directors chair with Letter from Iwo Jima
THEATRE - Lots of new pictures in the gallery, tons of press releases, more reviews, new videos, and lots of new articles and reports on what's new around the UK.
As the traffic increases, I will be introducing new developments to the site and newsletters so that you can choose what events you'd like to hear about and which you don't. As you know, the UK Theatre Network is run by myself with YOUR support. It doesn't have multi-million pound backers and hundreds of staff like Myspace, YouTube, Bebo (though one day it may well do).
Send me an email if you have any feedback, or offer of support, or would like to advertise on the network, become a content partner, collaborator, or even offer sponsorship. Without you there wouldn't be a network ;-)
Many thanks and have a great weekend.

The Genius of Kenneth Branagh Probably one of the most accomplished – if not the most accomplished – UK actors of this generation is Kenneth Branagh. He has appeared in countless movies, television projects as well as in theatre and established for himself a reputation for his craft that is, bar none, the most admired and most multi talented performers in the country. 2/10/2007 Christopher Eccleston – The actor’s actor One actor who is creating a lot of buzz for himself especially among science fiction fans is Christopher Eccleston. The British actor has recently appeared in two highly popular science fiction television series – Dr. Who and Heroes -- that has made TV viewers finally take notice of an actor that may be one of the best in the world and before these breakout roles was only well known among cinephiles, art film lovers and UK theater goers. 2/10/2007 Getting your Kids Interested in Theatre It’s difficult to win kids over to the wonder of theatre. They’re used to TV, video games, million-dollar Hollywood blockbusters. Why would they want to sit through a play about a dead king, especially when they’re not allowed to eat popcorn? 2/10/2007 UKTheatre Training
