Past Successes
Professional actor Adrian Scarborough gave a fascinating workshop to our A level Drama & Theatre studies group, on the work of Mike Leigh. Adrian, who worked with Mike Leigh on the film ‘Vera Drake’, explained about the intense improvisation process that is undertaken, when working under the direction of Mike Leigh.
The group have been studying the play ‘Abigail’s Party’ so were delighted to hear that Adrian is friends with the actress Alison Steadman, the star of the film. They both work on the comedy show ‘Gavin & Stacey’ and so Adrian was able to give his profession opinion of the process of the play.
This was an excellent workshop and lecture, which benefited our students greatly.
Thank you again Adrian.
What a fantastic day we had on Saturday 5th October. We were privileged to have had George Stiles and Anthony Drewe, the writers of ‘Honk!’, ‘Just So’ and ‘Mary Poppins’ attending our Honk! rehearsals. They were very impressed with the talent and teaching offered here at Gobstoppers and wished all the company the very best of luck with our production of Honk!
