Skellig

It’s not often you get the chance to work with the original author of a play or book, so it’s been a real thrill to have David Almond in rehearsals for SKELLIG for the first two days. Even more so when you’re playing the title role yourself, getting the chance to be sure you’re thinking along the right lines about the part! This is the first time the play has been produced since the celebrated production at the Yonng Vic five years ago, so there is a lot to live up to. The first two days have been great. Once again, the BSC is able to enjoy the fact that it has three fabulous companies in production and on tour. We couldn’t ask for a better group of people in each show. Each production has a lot to live up to!
