RENT at The Bradford Playhouse.
November 8th - 11th. See it or miss out!
Glyn Watkins presents Pie and Priestley at the Bradford Playhouse.
14th September 2011 - At the Bradford Playhouse, for what is possibly one of its last nights as a working Theatre, I wont go into the why's and what for's, just to hope that is saved and brought back to life as a working Theatre and event space.
Glyn Watkin he of the Pie and Priestley and Curry and Kipling evenings, was appearing there to give the audience an insight to the writings of J B Priestley, and what a night it was too, Glyn being on top form , getting into character for one of Priestley's most famous of plays, the 1938 play When We are Married. A one man show and tour de force acted with great enthusiasm and certainly no small talent!
Priestley's take on the returning men from the First World War, and them having to fit into a society, that wanted them to be as before they left, I have to admit left me quite humble, and of a mind to read some of his works, for I've never read a single book by this author, I've seen a film yes, but have not read his actual words, this is what Glyn's about, Prestley's words and Glyn's characterizations And yet there was comedy, as previously mentioned When We are Married, left me in tears of laughter, as Glyn sailed through both male and female parts, with the abandon of a man who knows his subject, and no fear of being questioned on that subject!
A windy night in Bradford with the city receiving a battering from the tailend of Hurricane Katrina, so the audience was not as it should have been numbers wise, however, this paid no matter to Glyn, for he might have been at The Albert Hall with the amount of vigour he applied to one of his most favourite of subjects, alongside one of Bradford's most windy of Tuesday's. One could even hear the rain hammering down on the stage roof! No mind onwards and upwards did Glyn soar!
Glyn deserves alot more recognition then he achieves in the city of Bradford, especially when one considers, the man from Croydon, for that is where he's from, does more to lift and keep the the name of Priestley in the Bradford conscious than any Society or Organisation I may have heard of.
A statue of the great man stands outside the Media Museum, passed by many, ignored by the majority, acknowledged by the few, Mr Watkin, however, brings Priestley to life with words spoken from a bygone era, yet still wihin the memory of many still living in Bradford today. A lovely evening Glyn and thank you for transporting me to that bygone era, for whilst like you, was not born in the city, I have come to appreciate more, the talent of this Bradford son, and in future not pass over lightly anything I may read about him in the future. That's thanks to you Glyn! I suggest any Society/Organisation wanting an evening of Entertainment, Culture, and History rolled into a couple of hours should book Glyn for this coming Autumn Winter season, you wont regret it! bradfordeye.co.uk

Pantomime prince gets engaged on stage
Festive performance of Sleeping Beauty gains surprise extra scene as boyfriend climbs on stage to ask actress to marry him
Actress Kelli Maybank was taken by surprise when her boyfriend proposed to her on stage in front of a packed theatre audience during a performance of Sleeping Beauty on Saturday night.
Dressed in gold boots and velvet gown, Miss Maybank was playing Prince Percival at the Everyman Theatre in Cheltenham, Gloucester, when her 33-year-old boyfriend Mark Grunsell stepped from the wings.
Visibly nervous, Mr Grunsell handed his girlfriend a bouquet of flowers before going down on one knee and proposing.
Friends and family – along with the rest of the audience – stood up and cheered when she said yes.
Miss Maybank, a 29-year-old actress, who lives in Bournemouth, Dorset, with her groom-to-be, said she was “totally stunned” by the unexpected finale to the pantomime.
She said: “I didn’t plan to get engaged while dressed as a prince in gold boots but it was brilliant.
Despite describing himself as not that romantic, Mr Grunsell, a logistics manager, said he wanted to do something special.
She’s an actress and loves a bit of drama, so I thought this was perfect, he said.
The couple who have been together for nine years plan to marry in 2016.
