Much Ado About Benedick at Northern Broadsides
Conrad Nelson’s production of Shakespeare’s comedy Much Ado About Nothing for Northern Broadsides Theatre Company had a cast change on the first day of rehearsals when Reece Dinsdale had to drop out of the key role of Benedick due to a family illness and Robin Simpson took over the role.
BTG Editor David Chadderton spoke to Robin during the second week of rehearsals about the additional pressure that may have put on him and also about the production as a whole, playing Shakespeare, performing comedy and even a bit of panto.
The Northern Broadsides production of Much Ado About Nothing runs at the New Vic Theatre in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire from 8 February to 2 March 2019, before embarking on a national tour until the end of May to The Dukes Lancaster, Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough, Salisbury Playhouse, Derby Theatre, Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds, Lawrence Batley Theatre in Huddersfield, Viaduct Theatre in Halifax, The Lowry in Salford, York Theatre Royal and Harrogate Theatre.

Newcastle Under Lyme Thoughts From The Frontline
Inspired by interest in the First World War Centenary, volunteers at the Brampton Museum collected the wartime photographs, artifacts and documents hidden in the attics of local people. They then worked with local historians, high school students and costumed actors to bring to life the letters from soldiers to their families and other documents from the time. They also created a touring exhibition and a second film focusing on the experience of the home front.
For more details about the funding available for First World War projects please see the HLF First World War webpage.
