It seems that not only in popular culture, playwright Mike Bartlett could well be top of the class as part of the educational curriculum, well at least that’s what Helen Ramsay thinks! “I came across Mike Bartlett at uni. He’s seriously great for monologues and I don’t think any acting student will be able to escape his name in drama school – he’s a legend! This is evident with his shows on the West End at the moment, they all seem to be timeless, relatable and eloquently written.” At Greenwich, we’re really honored to be able to continue doing what we love best; supporting burgeoning talen ..read more

The Academy of Live and Recorded Arts (ALRA) announced earlier this April that it was to close for good. It cited that the school was no longer “financially viable” as the reasons for its closure.

Priding himself in working with young and upcoming theatre talent, Greenwich Theatre’s James Haddrell had much to say about the closure of the school and he added further insights into the role ..read more
