Theatre in performance and power
Even if I could not quite see their faces all the way up in the highest stalls, I still felt the zeal in every word, action, and nod to the audience, who were exuding the same passion from their seats as the performers on the stage. This was not just a show about iconic historical …
VOLDEMORT, LOOK AT YOUR SCENE PARTNER!
Grace Pervades, written by David Hare, was a play written for actors and artists.
