Hey guys, Gotta a bit to discuss... Panto... Sean, Roisin & Paudraig have all expressed an interest in directing. What to do? Should we audition the role of director or what? Or possibly get one of them to direct and the other to produce? ( I know you're reading this paudraig... I apologise for talking about you in the third person!!!!) Classical Barry Bracken will do the Shakespeare! (READ BELOW) One Acts I'm meeting people who want to direct at 6pm today in Clubs and Socs. Hopefully some interest will arise. Sean said he has a piece he wants to direct. I've attached Barry's email and Seans email below to see what you guys think. Anyway, I would like some reply and possibly an meeting to decide about panto director. Thanks Steve ---------------------------------------------------- Hi Stephen I'm very keen to direct the pantomime this year. In fact I had been planning to apply to do so since the summer. I can submit a proposal and a C.V. of my previous directorial experience to the committee if needs be. With respect to the one act submissions, I have preliminarily selected a short piece by Tennessee Williams called Mister Paradise. regards Seán Kennedy ------------------------------------------------------ Hey Stephen If you'd like me to direct this show I'll do it. Dammit I'd love to! And I'm delighted you aproached me. My choice for piece would be KING LEAR. A very powerful work by the good man. V.dark and v.funny. However is it confined to a "classical"/shakespeare piece. There's some great contemporary drama out there. Harold Pinter or Brian Friel or countless others... If its a problem getting rights then so be it. I know auditions for this have to get off the ground pretty soon. And if its a case of drama having particular types of show throughout the year then I understand. I'm just wondering what the leeway is like for variation here... Anyway consider me committed to it if you'll have me. Let us know the score, Regards barry -- Stephen Grimes Applied Physics DCU Drama Chair 085 7079768 55456550
