A new website, a new venture.

20 April 2010

A new website, a new venture. Our new site going live coincides with the start of our collaborative project with leading theatre company, Shared Experience , The company is now in rehearsal for our revived production of the award-winning show, Brontë . We’ll be using the new blog to give you an insight into the work going on in the rehearsal room through the eyes of the actors. Nancy (Meckler) the director, is using an extended rehearsal period to develop further the skills of the young cast (David Fielder excepted – a very distinguished and wonderful actor, playing the role of the Brontë patriach and who many of you will have enjoyed seeing in our recent production of ‘Heroes’). In her early years as a director in the States, Nancy worked in a very similar environment to that which we have at The Watermill, where the cast and creative team live and work together onsite in the relative tranquility of a rural theatre. Having built a distinguished career as a director and artistic director she is as delighted to be returning to her theatrical roots and we’re excited to have her working with us. Keep checking the blog for an update on how Brontë is developing and for a behind the scenes look at all aspects of life at The Watermill.
