I knew one certain thing about New Yorker, Philip Price, before we had a chance to chat. And that was that he was a workaholic! I mean it is not often that a professional producer – after completing a hectic term in the competitive realm of American theatre – comes to a small place like […]
The answer to doom and gloom? No! Sligo’s Hawk’s Well Theatre is not going into the political arena from August 20th to 29th – a ten day run – the Temple Street theatre should be alive with laughter and song as Sligo Drama Circle presents the musical version of the famous old farce “Charley’s Aunt” […]
Shsss ….! Philip Price’s dislike of the mumbling in the young chorus rang loud and clear. These producers really do look stern and dictatorial – just like in the movies – as they sit in their chairs in the centre of the floor clad in denims and with their shirt sleeves rolled up. Now it […]
