Glowing reviews for Cary Crankson in Abigail’s Party

/in /by

Abigail’s Party opened at the Leicester Curve last night to great reviews.

This exciting revival of Mike Leigh’s popular comedy is the Curve’s first production ever to be performed in the round and director Suba Das’ new version proves to do the play justice in it’s new flexible space.

West End Frame says, ‘The performance of the night comes from Cary Crankson as Tony. The character rarely utters a word, but each time Crankson said a line he had the audience in hysterics.’

The Stage says, ‘Crankson has a wonderful stillness to his work, not one gesture or look is wasted….Powerful and funny, it’s a memorable production.’

Leicester Mercury says, ‘you can’t tear yourself away. Fantastic voyeuristic theatre for the rubbernecking generation.’

Abigail’s Party will run at the Leicester Curve until 8th November 2014.

Robin Kingsland in Arcadia

/in /by

Robin Kingsland will be playing Captain Brice in the revival of Tom Stoppard’s infamous comedy, Arcadia at the Nottingham Playhouse.

A serious comedy about science, sex and landscape gardening.

1809: Lust, longing and literary rivalry seize the inhabitants of Sidley Park, a grand house in Derbyshire, where proposals for the remodelling of the landscape are being contemplated. In the midst of this, the teenage Thomasina Coverly is making a scientific discovery that could change the way people understand the world.

The present: Rivalry once again seizes the inhabitants of Sidley Park, as academics Bernard and Hannah compete to unpick the historic secrets of the estate and its earlier occupants. Who was the mysterious hermit? Do the scrawlings in a young lady’s notebook show her to be a scientific genius? What – if anything – was Lord Byron up to?

Arcadia is an exuberantly funny, thought-provoking and touching masterpiece which has dazzled audiences from the National Theatre to Broadway. The production will run at the Nottingham playhouse from 31st October – 15th November.
