A while ago AL spoke to Derek Willis about the Shropshire Drama Company production of ART which was playing at The Walker Theatre at Theatre Severn. We gave away tickets for the show and got the opportunity to come along and speak to the cast backstage.
Starting off, we speak to director Derek and Neville Street who was the stage manager. AL then took part in some voice warm-ups with the cast which left him feeling nostalgic after a very smooth rendition of Kumala Vista.
AL then speaks to cast members Ben, Tom and Dave who talk us through the play and how this particular play is tackled technically. This play is based on the outside view of a friendship between 3 guys who are debating a white painting on a white background. With huge chunks of dialogue and such a small cast the pressure is really on to nail their lines and performances.
Finally AL catches up with a member of the audience to discuss their thoughts on the ART.
