The set and costume designer Bob Crowley says he creates ‘other worlds'. The stage is where his imagination runs riot, at the National Theatre, the Royal Shakespeare Company the Royal Opera House, the West End, Broadway and beyond. He's won numerous Olivier and Tony awards for memorable designs such as the brightly lit revolving horses for Carousel, magical black and white tissue paper drawings evoking the foggy London skyline for Mary Poppins and couture dresses and the River Seine for An American in Paris. He's also worked on many new plays including The History Boys by Alan Bennett. His most recent credits include Richard the Second at the Bridge Theatre in London, with Jonathan Bailey in the title role. Bob's music selection includes Tallis, Gershwin, Schubert and Verdi.

Send us a Text Message.◆ Issuers and investors look for clues after violent price swings ◆ Which borrowers will lead autumn deal spree ◆ How pricing has shifted in primary marketThere are moments that change what is to come. When poor US employment data and corporate earnings, and a rise in Japanese interest rates last week sent the markets into a tailspin at the start of this one, it changed how issuers will approach the capital markets when issuance volumes start to ramp up later this month. And this year, the autumn issuance window is particularly important with the fractious US election threatening to make October and November an ill advised time to be in the capital markets with lots of funding to do.We discuss how this week's turbulence has changed the picture for borrowers making plans for the rest of the year in terms of timing and pricing of deals. As one of the characters in Alan Bennett's play The History Boys notes, there are times when events force people down a different course — "and here history rattled over the points", he says. Was this week one where the capital markets headed off down a different track to the one they thought they were on? We find out.

This week, we take a look back at Fintan O'Toole's pre-election assessment of Keir Starmer; and revisit a conversation with William Boyd.'Keir Starmer: The Biography', by Tom Baldwin'November 1942: An Intimate History of the Turning Point of World WarII', by Peter Englund', translated by Peter GravesProduced by Charlotte Pardy Hosted on Acast.

On the last week of July, 2023, Phil and JF were delighted to speak at Shannon Taggart's Science of Things Spiritual Symposium in Lily Dale, the nerve centre of the Spiritualist movement. As speakers, your hosts were part of an inspiring lineup of scholars, artists, and researchers committed to exploring the borderlands of art, science, religion, and the paranormal. They also had the honour of launching the symposium with a live recording held on the evening of the July 27th. The topic was Frederic W. H. Myers' autobiographical essay, "Fragments of Inner Life," first published in full in 1961, some sixty years after the author's death. Myers was one of the original members of the Society for Psychical Research in England. A poet and classicist, he remained committed to the scientific promise of paranormal investigation until the end of his life. His book Human Personality and Its Survival of Bodily Death, also published posthumously, argues that psychical studies have confirmed, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that death is just the beginning. In this talk, JF and Phil discuss Myers' relevance to 21st-century thinking on the Weird.

What do you get when you cross Journey's End with Brideshead Revisited? This month Angus, Chris and Jessica review Alice Winn's best-selling new novel, In Memoriam. The book follows  Henry Gaunt and Sidney Ellwood from public school and through the war. Half-German, Gaunt's mother asks him to enlist in the British army to protect the family from anti-German attacks. He signs up immediately, relieved to escape his overwhelming feelings. But Ellwood and their classmates soon follow him into the horrors of trenches. Though Ellwood and Gaunt find fleeting moments of solace in one another, their friends are dying in front of them, and at any moment they could be next. Along the way we discuss class, conscription and the difficulties of describing the boredom and violence of war in popular fiction. References1917 (2019) A.J.

In the week the Club Brugge made history, the Pro League also had its fair share of excitement.

Actor, writer and comedian James Corden reveals the most important people, events and cultural works that inspired his own creativity. He's now probably best known as an Emmy-winning television chat show host, although he recently announced that he would step down from The Late Late Show in 2023. James Corden is the co-creator of the much-loved BBC sitcom Gavin and Stacey, for which he won a BAFTA. His stage work includes Alan Bennett's National Theatre play The History Boys, and the starring role in One Man Two Guvnors, which won him a Tony Award after it transferred to Broadway. His film roles include Oceans 8, Peter Rabbit, Into The Woods and The Prom. James Corden reveals how he wanted to entertain audiences from a very young age, and his theatrical ambitions were encouraged by his father who would take him to see musicals. He chooses the experience of seeing Gary Wilmot starring in the stage show Me and My Girl as one of his most important inspirations. He also reflects on the experience of working for writer-director Shane Meadows on the film 24/7, which starred Bob Hoskins, and the huge influence on his own work of filmmaker Mike Leigh. James also chooses the television comedy drama series The Royle Family as one of the inspirations for his series Gavin and Stacey, which he co-wrote with Ruth Jones. Reflecting on his recent decision to leave The Late Late Show, he reveals that he was persuaded to move on and pursue new creative challenges by a David Bowie quote. Producer: Edwina Pitman

This episode we are joined by two time Tony and Oliver Award nominated Actor Samuel Barnett!  Samuel is known for his roles in The History Boys, Richard III, Twelfth Night, "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" and most recently Feeling Afraid As If Something Terrible Is Going To Happen at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.  Sam talks about life as a working actor, lessons he has learned for himself along the way, and much more!

Two-time Olivier Award winning actor Adrian Scarborough has written The Clothes They Stood Up In, an adaptation of the novella of the same name by Alan Bennett (The Madness of King George, Talking Heads, The History Boys, and The Lady in the Van), about a mild-mannered couple (played by Adrian and Sophie Thompson) who return home from the opera one evening to find their flat completely bare and every single item they own stolen. What happens next is the action of this very funny play, which opens this week at the Nottingham Playhouse, and Adrian talks about about how his adaptation came to be, and how many versions he's had to learn; the challenges of wearing both his actor and playwright hats; his successful preview at The Berko Speakeasy; finding (and imitating) Bennett's voice; the value of getting microphones in the toilet; the privilege of getting to sit on the other side of the table; and the enormous satisfaction of challenging one's self to come up with the goods. (Length 21:38) The post Adrian's Alan Adaptation appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.

by Elizabeth Gaskell dramatised by Lin Coghlan Margaret ..... Patsy Ferran Mr Hale ..... Paul Chahidi Mrs Hale ..... Ruth Everett Dixon ..... Felicity Montagu John Thornton ..... James Cartwright Mrs Thornton ..... Pooky Quesnel Higgins ..... Sean Gilder Bessy ..... Olivia Barrowclough Aunt Shaw ..... Joanna Monro Henry Lennox ..... Jonathan Forbes Henderson ..... David Hounslow Boucher ..... Lloyd Thomas Youth ..... Colin Ryan Cabbie ..... Roger Ringrose Directed by Sally Avens Sound by Peter Ringrose and Keith Graham Margaret Hale and her family are forced to move north to the industrial mill town of Milton, an upheaval that brings the awakening of her social conscience. When a strike threatens the town, Margaret finds herself pitted in passionate opposition to the values of local mill owner John Thornton, one of her family's few acquaintances in their new home. Gaskell's great Condition of England novel still resonates today in its portrayal of the north-south divide and its themes of class, gender and social responsibility. It stars award-winning actress Pasty Ferran as Margaret, Paul Chahidi (This Country, Good Omens) as Hale, James Cartwright (The Archers, History Boys, Johnny Shakespeare) as John Thornton and Felicity Montagu (Alan Partridge, Landscapers) as Dixon. This drama was originally broadcast on BBC Radio 4.

It's rare that one of the team cries during the recording of an episode. But this week's guest Sacha Dhawan (who you'll know from Doctor Who, Iron First, The Great and so much more) has no issue setting off the water works as he delivers an embarrassing story which Dave calls “one of the funniest things I've ever heard”.Before we get there though, the guys hear about Sacha's journey from working for his dad to touring the world as one of the original cast of History Boys alongside the likes of James Corden, Samuel Barnett and Richard Griffiths. He explains how his part in the show set him up for the rest of his career and taught him lessons he still leans on today. Sacha also explores the struggles of being on set with severe anxiety and how he only started to gain control of his mental health after getting therapy and talking about his struggles out loud after reaching “a real low point”. Josh, George and Dave also find out how allowing himself time to reevaluate the importance of mental and physical self-care has helped Sacha take better control of his Crohn's disease and the choices he makes in his career.The conversation also delves into Sacha's focus on his British Asian heritage and his views on how it's represented across the industry from stereotypes in writing rooms to the choices made in castings.

The Berlin Wall was one of the most important symbols of the Cold War, signifying the division of Europe into communist East and capitalist West. But why was the Wall built? How did it affect the lives of ordinary Berliners? And how did it come crashing down in 1989?  In this episode we were joined by Russell Tovey, renowned actor who has starred in Being Human, The History Boys and Him & Her.  --------- CREDITS:  Excerpt from Ronald Reagan: "Mr. Gorbachev, Tear Down This Wall!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCO9BYCGNeY&ab_channel=NRCCCommunications Excerpt from John F.

Podcast alum James Crichton (UNKNOWN SOLDIER, ACTORS: ON PROCESS) returns to the Breakdown to discuss with Matt the '06 super-smash.

Actor Rudi Dharmalingam showed a creative spark from a young age. From writing short stories and sketches with his two best friends while growing up, to attending the National Youth Theatre in the U.K. at the age of 16, Rudi excelled in his drama studies and had a fascination with performance. After graduating from the University of Salford, Rudi was ready to hit the ground running. He had his sights set on working as a professional actor in theater and had secured an agent during his first year at university. Today, Rudi shares the experience of being dropped by his agent after a terrifying accident on the way to his first audition and how he was able to push through the years of auditioning that followed. After booking an understudy role in the Royal National Theatre's London stage production of "The History Boys," Rudi began to see some momentum in his career. Since then, Rudi experienced a 15 year back-to-back run of theater productions including a West End run of "Mary Stuart," and a co-star role in "Hamlet" opposite Benedict Cumberbatch at the Barbican Theatre. After deciding that he was ready for a new adventure on the big screen, Rudi has now gracefully pivoted into the world of film and television with the premiere of Showtime's newest drama series, "Wakefield." Starring as psych ward nurse Nik Katira, this psychological drama explores the complexities of mental health when Nik himself begins to lose connection to his own reality. Rudi will also be returning in season 3 of "The Split," and can be seen in the upcoming 2022 release of the action-thriller series, "Extinction." Today, Rudi shares that what he loves most about acting is the intimacy. He dives into how that intimacy manifests itself differently in theater versus on screen, and he shares the ways in which he approaches character building from a place of instinct. Inspired by artistic legends such as Robert De Niro, Daniel Day-Lewis, and following the teaching principles of Stanislavski, Rudi encourages all actors to think of a self-tape as a short film and to go above and beyond the line of duty when it comes to an audition. These are the unforgettable stories that landed Rudi Dharmalingam right here.

But fifteen years after the film adaptation's release, he and Mandy are ready to revisit it in the second episode of The Req Room's Summer Semester. How does one make sense of its problematic depictions of teachers and students? Is The History Boys the antithesis to inspirational teacher movies like Dead Poets Society? And how do the differences between the Alan Bennett stageplay and the Nicholas Hytner adaptation affect the script's tones and themes? Find out in this episode!

Our real summer has just begun! Mandy and Mio kick the new semester off with a review of the 2017 film Lady Bird, starring Saoirse Ronan and Laurie Metcalf. Greta Gerwig's solo directorial debut is set in Sacramento, where Gerwig grew up, but how did she distance herself from the film's subject (aka the TITULAR role)? Mandy and Mio also talk about why this film sometimes feels like a stage play, how Lady Bird fits into the canon of the coming-of-age genre, and how this film speaks to young people from small places. Also, Mio asks Mandy a question about the Brooklyn Nets.

Matt Smith is best known as the eleventh Timelord in the BBC One series, Doctor Who. At 26, he became the youngest actor to take the part. His future looked set to be in football: he played at youth level for Northampton Town, Nottingham Forest and Leicester City until a serious back condition ended his highly promising career prematurely. His drama teacher encouraged him to take up acting and he joined the National Youth Theatre and studied drama at the University of East Anglia. He played Lockwood in the National Theatre's touring production of The History Boys and was nominated for an Evening Standard Best Newcomer Award for his performance in Polly Stenham's That Face. He also appeared as a political researcher in the BBC Two parliamentary drama, Party Animals. Despite being a surprise choice to play The Doctor in 2009, he became the first actor to be nominated for a BAFTA television award for his performance in this role, and has won two National Television Awards. When he left Doctor Who at the end of 2013, he appeared on stage as Patrick Bateman in American Psycho: The Musical. In 2016 he took the part of HRH Prince Philip Mountbatten, The Duke of Edinburgh, in the Netflix series The Crown, and received great acclaim, leaving the role at the end of the second series in late 2017. Presenter: Kirsty Young Producer: Cathy Drysdale.

LaF is going to the theater this week, as the fellas discuss the Little Theater of Norfolk's production of The History Boys. Written by Alan Bennett, the play focuses on the effect two teachers have on a group of students who are preparing to take the most important exam of their lives. In 2006, the play won the Tony Award for Best Play. Now, it is being performed at the Little Theater of Norfolk from October 30 - November 22. Frequent guest of the show, The Registrar is headlining the show as The Headmaster and he is kind enough to join the L-Train and Mr. Two-Frames to discuss the play. Both of the our hosts saw the play on opening night. They have many questions for the Registrar as they try to get the inside scoop on all the actors and the preparation they went through to prepare for their roles.
