Once more, with feeling

Article Abstract:

Radically rewriting a high-profile musical can be very risky, according to Cameron Mackintosh, producer of the Boublil/Schonberg musical 'Martin Guerre.' The first version attracted considerable criticism, and the second version, which is to open shortly, shows much greater dramatic coherence and integrity. The new version makes the psychology of each situation more convincing, and features new lyrics and a revised ordering of the material.

Space: the final frontier

Article Abstract:

It is vital not to take a rigid approach to theatre shape, according to director Deborah Warner. She is very keen to use non-theatrical sites, and has gained a reputation for exploiting the evocative power of buildings. Her choice of unusual locations has attracted some controversy, but she remains determined to flout normal theatrical convention. Her most recent project is a production of TS Eliot's 'The Waste Land.'

Bucharest blues

Article Abstract:

Romanian theatre director Silviu Purcarete has had some difficult experiences in his home country, sometimes clashing with the authorities. This is reflected in some of his work. Most recently, he has brought 'Phaedra' to the UK, and in Aug 1995 is to start rehearsals for a Nottigham Playhouse/Theatr Clwyd co-production of 'The Tempest.'
