Drumroll please! This week we’re featuring member of the Rep and star of many a recent Creation show, Anna Tolputt. What was the first Creation production you were involved with, and what’s your favourite memory of it? My first creation production was the online Witch of Edmonton a couple of years ago.  My favourite moment is when one of the actresses accidentally fell backwards through her greenscreen, mid speech.  She was in a beautifully elegant Edwardian drawing room at the time which sort of crumpled to reveal a pot plant and a white wall.  It made my night.  It ..read more

This week’s blog is a particularly special appearance from one of the Much Ado team – the Artistic Director of our co-producing partners OVO, Adam Nichols. How did you first come to be involved in making theatre at such an extraordinary site? One of our regular actors has a personal connection to a member of the Grimston family, who have been living in the Gorhambury Estate, within which the Roman Theatre is situated, since the 16th century. There had been the occasional performance there since the 1930s, when the site was excavated, but we are really the first company to have brought the ..read more
