Founder and owner of RD Casting, Michael Moor, is gearing up for an exciting start to the week as he puts his final preparations in place for the Monologue Slam UK Finals event which he will be attending as a VIP on 11th December at Theatre Royal Stratford East.
Having found exciting people from previous Monologue Slam UK events Michael is particularly excited to see some of the fresh performances and raw talent that will be on display at the event.
The 4th December was a day to remember as the Actor Awareness Annual Showcase took place in Leicester Square.
This was a particularly special night for one of the RD Casting family, Emilia Marshall Lovsey. Emilia featured in the short play Our Big Love Story by Stephanie Silver as part of the annual showcase.
Actor Awareness is a campaign fighting for more equality, diversity and working class talent in the arts and aims to provide a community and voice for these disenfranchised groups. Their passion is to inspire talent from all backgrounds. As part of this mission they also create artistic opportunities and other support for actors, writers and directors who may have faced barriers in the industry.
It looks to have been a fantastic night and all for a great cause.

RD Casting is pleased to announce that Andrew Hislop will be making an appearance in the Icarus Theatre's production of Macbeth starting its run in January 2018.
Set in the 11th century and culminating in an epic battle filled with revenge, justice, and beheadings, Icarus Theatre blends the traditional and the physical to bring to life some of literature’s most vibrant language and characters.
This production centres around the idea that Macbeth himself is suffering from PTSD. Director Max Lewendel comments, "War is hell, and medieval warfare even more so. There is something in the psychology of PTSD that resonates here in a very Hitchcockian kind of way. This world is a supernatural nightmare for Macbeth and I wanted to explore the idea that the horrors of what he has done and seen lurk in every shadow, in every corner."
Shakespeare for the Game of Thrones generation! How cool is that! Sounds super exciting and a must see! Interested in booking a ticket? Well you can do just that right here: http://www.icarustheatre.co.uk/shows/macbeth2018.html
Well done Andrew!
We hope you enjoy playing in every second of this brutal masterpiece. Break a leg from all of us here at RD Casting!

RD Casting's MeMe Detroit is releasing a new single on November 10th called 'Ashes To Ashes' via her own founded label SoulRock Central Records. As this recent article from Premiere shows, it's cooking up a storm: https://getinherears.com/2017/10/25/premiere-meme-detroit-ashes-to-ashes/
The single was recorded with engineer / producer Alastair Jamieson (The Jesus and Mary chain, Duran Duran,) at Park studios, Birmingham and mastered by Jon Astley at Close To The Edge (The Who, Tori Amos, The Rolling Stones, Stereophonics, Judas Priest).
MeMe and the lads have played over 200 gigs across the UK, including a live streamed show in a treehouse, O2 Academy, Jurassic Fields Festival and a recent slot on the main stage at Silverstone. This solid backbone of live experience has helped mould and shape the band into a sonic force not to be missed which is clearly evident in this powerful yet original version of Ashes to Ashes.
Want to listen to this unique guitar driven take on the David Bowie classic. Well you can with this exclusive Soundcloud for RD Casting here:
The band consists of MeMe Detroit, vocals/guitar/synth, Ross Adams, bass and Barney Such on drums.
“When choosing to take on such an iconic track as this, I knew that I’d have to make it my own so that’s exactly what I set out to do. Bowie was a true individual who stood out away from the crowds. To me that sends an important message to always be true to yourself and don’t feel you have to be a sheep to society”
Catch MeMe Detroit live during November
8th Nov – Pirate live (Exclusive Live streamed show) – Pirate Studios - London
10th Nov – The Finchley Pub (Get in her ears) – London
17th Nov – Percy’s - Whitchurch

Off the back of Warner Brothers "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them" RD Casting's very own Eamon Yates is over the moon to see his name rolling among the credits again, this time for his work on Marvel's latest release "Thor:Ragnarok".
Reviews are coming in thick and fast for Director Taika Waititi's latest masterpiece and critics are buzzing:
“Daft as a badger sandwich and twice as funny, this is vintage Waititi, and the boldest, most outrageously fun film Marvel has yet produced.”
“The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s most audacious entry so far, Thor’s third stand-alone movie goes there with wild, bold choices — and it succeeds, epically, on many levels.”
Watch the trailer for Thor:Ragnorak here:
Get yourself down to your local cinema and enjoy this latest Marvel film with a little bit of RD Casting love involved.
Eamon is incredibly proud to be involved with such a well received project as are all at RD Casting!
Well done Eamon!
