  • Our First Broadsheet Review

    And it’s a good’un, too. Today’s Times has a short review in the Arts section for Hans Christian Andersen’s Fairy Tales. “My three-year-old […] also enjoyed the low-theatre approach of Red Table Theatre’s retelling of some of Hans Christian Andersen’s Fairy Tales (three stars, at the Pleasance, N1 – and strictly speaking for ages four […]

  • A Christmas that’s Just So

    And the last theatrical Christmas announcement this year (unless someone is putting on a production of mine in secret somewhere and hasn’t told me about it) is that Red Table’s production of The Just So Stories, as seen at this year’s Edinburgh Festival, is going to be touring to St Albans this Christmas. Here are […]

  • A Fairy Tale Christmas

    After taking The Just So Stories to the Edinburgh Festival this year, where we made a profit… (I’ll just let you take a moment to let that sink in. We made a profit. At Edinburgh. Yes, our shows really are that good.) …I’m pleased to be able to say that tickets are now on sale […]

  • Curtain Up

    Due to the magic of computers, this post will be published at exactly the same time as the audience are seated and the lights come up for The Just So Stories in Edinburgh. The show runs twice a day from today until the 29th August, with two days off on the 10th and 22nd. We’ve […]

  • The Storyteller General

    We’ve got an exciting new event from Red Table this coming Saturday as The Storyteller General will be telling tales to children in the snuggle pit at the Pleasance Islington’s Big Day Out. Tickets are available now, or buy them on the day.

  • Open Book Theatre

    M’brother Rafe and I will be talking at RADA next Saturday (9th July) about Open Book Theatre. The event’s being held under the auspices of the Directors Guild of Great Britain, with support from the Mackintosh Foundation. I believe that DGGB members get first dibs on the tickets, but that any spare ones will be […]

  • The Just So Stories at the Edinburgh Festival

    It’s my absolute pleasure to be able to tell you two things. Firstly, that Red Table made a profit on our recent production of The Just So Stories at the Pleasance Theatre this Easter. A Fringe Theatre show? Not losing money? Inconceivable! As it turns out, when you’re involving actors and crew using the Open […]

  • Open Book Theatre

    My little theatre company made the front page of The Stage this week. For those of you too far from a newsagent to pick up a copy for yourself, or who live in the future where paper is considered a barbaric relic of our savage past, you can also read the article online. As you’ll […]

  • Giant Happy Crab Is Happy

    Some fantastic news: The Just So Stories – which I produced at The King’s Head Theatre over Christmas – is transferring to the Pleasance Theatre for a three-week run over Easter. The show’s going to be better than ever, with a bigger and more comfortable snuggle pit for the children and a brand-new set from […]

  • The Just So Stories

    That’s Pau Amma, The Crab That Played With The Sea, as drawn for us by Hannah Broadway. If you look closely, you can see that he is taller than the smoke of three volcanoes! Tickets are now on sale for The Just So Stories at the King’s Head Theatre from December 15 2010 through to […]
