Audiences are saying that SLT’s production of Bluebird is “engrossing” and “very moving”. Only three more performances left to catch this touching play.
Next week SLT stages ‘Bluebird’, written by playwright Simon Stephens who penned the adaptation of ‘The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time’ for the National Theatre. We speak to director Siobhán Campbell about why she loves his work and what audiences can expect from her production of ‘Bluebird’. You’ve directed a Simon Stephens play before. What is it about his work that attracts you to it? It’s the characters he creates – whenever I read something by him, I’m drawn […]

As well as the important […]

We talk with Steph Urquhart and Graham Rice who are co-directing SLT’s next production: Fiona Evans’ Fringe First winner ‘Scarborough’ at Stanley Halls next week. What made you decide to direct this play? Steph: I was actually given an extract of Scarborough to look at within a theatre workshop a couple of years ago and was just immediately excited by it; the tone, the language, the characters and the concept struck a chord, so I bought a copy of the script […]
