Taking the work of Bertolt Brecht as their inspiration, the 5 Actors, 4 Writers, and 2 Directors have created very different pieces that explore the nature and effect of Displacement in today's world. After a month of slaving away with quill and parchment, the actors and writers of the third NTI Workshop Cycle present their labours in a showcase night of new work. As with the previous NTI showcase night, the teams will present their work to the general public, and at the end of the evening the audience will be asked to feedback to the teams. In keeping with the spirit of the NTI Scheme, all competing teams will be offered a generous support package to further develop and perform a full version of their work at the Old Joint Stock Theatre in the future. We hope you can join us for a truly collaborative evening of new writing at the Old Joint Stock Theatre!

Viola arrives in Illyria shipwrecked. She disguises herself as a man and names herself Cesario in order to work for the Duke Orsino who she falls in love with at first sight.

Olivia falls in love with the 'boy' Cesario and send her pompous steward Malvolio after him with a ring. Malvolio is tricked by Olivia's uncle Sir Toby and drunken friends into believing Olivia is in love with him and ends up being humiliated and locked away for being a 'mad man'.

| Posted: 01 Feb 2013 05:14 AM PST Unusual New Play about Smell On Wednesday 6 February, Pigeon Theatre will present their new show, The Smell of Envy, at the Arena Theatre in Wolverhampton. The Smell of Envy investigates the science behind smell and the link that smell has to memory and place. The audience will be asked to consider what different aspects of life can smell like, such as childhood, love, hate or jealousy. Using a number of familiar (and unfamiliar!) scents during the performance, The Smell of Envy is part-play, part-lecture and part-cookery demonstration as scientific information is explored through the narrative of the cast's own memories. The Smell of Envy is a collaboration with Cognitive Neuroscientist Dr Colin Lever at the University of Durham. It is an outcome of the Wellcome Trust funded project Site and Smell and supported by Arts Council England, theUniversity of Leeds and hÅb & Word of Warning. Through Smell of Envy, Pigeon Theatre hopes to create an online "smell-bank" of smells and the memories they evoke and is inviting everyone to Tweet their memories to @pigeontheatre. The Smell of Envy takes place on Wednesday 6 February at 7.30pm. Tickets cost £9 Full Price and £7 Concessions and can be purchased online, at www.arenatheatre.info, in person at the Arena Theatre box office on Wulfruna Street in Wolverhampton, or by calling 01902 321321.

| Campaign For Regional Broadcast at 7.30 on Thursday, 21 February 2013 Posted: 01 Feb 2013 05:07 AM PST The Old Royal Pub 53 Church Street Birmingham. B3 2DP VIP Guest speakers TBC As places are limited free tickets can be printed off at the link below. http://crbmlaunch.eventbrite.co.uk/ The Campaign for Regional Broadcasting Midlands is being organised to promote the Midlands as a place to create and make television & radio. There has been a gradual migration away from the region by the major broadcasters and as a result, this important, diverse and highly populated region is now virtually absent from the airwaves.
The Campaign for Regional Broadcasting Midlands is being coordinated by a number of people with quite different backgrounds. We are ordinary licence fee payers, programme makers, actors, writers, creative workers and others who have a passion for the region and the future of broadcasting in the UK. Please visit our website and for more information http://www.crbmidlands.org.uk/ and join the discussion on February 21, 2013.   |
