Gallowglass - The thrilling reviews are coming in

Louise Thomas, one of our great RD Juniors talent, has recently featured in the opening of Gallowglass at The Malvern Theatre and now the reviews are coming in!

“With lightning-fast set changes and a neurotically pounding piano dominating the soundtrack, this world stage premiere from Middle Ground Theatre Company is a real chiller of a thriller.”

— Malvern Gazette

“The sound design is effective, placing us on train platforms, in woods or in flats above pubs with ease.”

— The Reviews Hub

Sexual Harassment, its a big deal! Joseph Meighan helps us become aware of it

Its fair to say that the world has been a pretty scary place this past few years and the theme of sexual harassment has been a big talking point, especially in the arts! 

Can we do something about it? The answer is yes and one person doing all he can to help point the spotlight on right and wrong on this taboo subject is Joseph Meighan. Joe is performing up and down the country teaching 16-18 year olds about sexual harassment and assault as part of the Dolls Eye Theatre productions.

The productions have been received so well that even Channel 5 News covered it:

Check out this great article about the impact this great piece of theatre is having: https://broadly.vice.com/en_us/article/wjgaqz/this-drama-workshop-is-teaching-kids-about-sexual-harassmentand-how-to-challenge-it?utm_source=broadlyfbus
