Collaboration with a Group in Europe
My name is Amin Gholami, writer and theater director. We are rehearsing a show with the name (Shazeh) which means woman, which is related to recent events and events in Afghanistan and Eastern Mina. This show is a combination of choreography, drama and performance. I want to have a collaboration with a group to perform in Europe.
This information is about the sheza in Farsi and Pashto were the main languages of Afghanistan, which were removed with the arrival of the Taliban The word Shazeh is a Pashto word that means woman. Shazeh's show is about the violence and injustice of women in the Middle East, which mostly focuses on the events and self-immolations in Afghanistan a few years ago.
Please contact me if you are interested in finding out more.
Thank you for your attention

FREE Audio equipment
I have a Yamaha Dm2000 digital sound desk complete with 70m digital audio multi core cable. It also comes with an audio rack for the orchestra pit and an audio rack for the foh desk position.
It is an awesome product made by Yamaha back in the day and is a fully functional digital sound desk with more features than you could wag a stick at.
I have used it on various productions. Professional and amateur.
I have tried to sell it but no one wants it. So I am happy to give it away to any Amateur group that would be happy to take it off my hands. Its second hand value is about £6k so who ever gets it is getting an absolute bargain.
The caveat is it must be an amateur dramatic group.
If it's goes locally. I am happy to help teach who ever takes it on.
If you would like more details then please feel free to let me know.
Best regards

Acting Troup required for a Hendricks Gin Masterclass
At the end of September I'll be hosting a Hendricks Gin Masterclass on a boat on the Bristol harbour. We've done something similar in London and it went down a storm.
My London counterpart has passed me the details of the troupe he used and they are willing to travel down. My problem is, that with it being BRISTOL cocktail week, I'd like to keep it local? Promoting local talent and supporting independent businesses.
The London event was held on the Thames where the actors rehearsed 2 original 20min scenes based on some historical tales (and some wildly Inaccurate history haha) The people who had paid for the masterclass weren't told and it made for some very memorable moments. The London people did the act with 4 people and it seemed to work well?
Could you help by putting me in touch with someone who could perhaps help with this?
I have a budget of £600 and ideally would like 3 people. I can also support with videography and Gin.
This is coming from our business, all ticket sales will go to charity!
Thank you

Shocked to Fame
Due to COVID-19 many amateur dramatics societies have struggled. Therefore, I would like to offer a contemporary 2-hour black comedy, entitled Shocked to Fame, to amateur theatres free of charge.
If accepted this play would come with no licences to pay; in fact I would offer a sum towards the costs of staging the play but this must be in front of a live, paying audience and for a minimum of three nights. I would also offer the group a percentage share in the play so the society had an income from subsequent performances. If interested then please contact me and I will send further details. My web address is www.colinmayo.com
One critical review read:
Thank you for the opportunity to read your play, which is a well-constructed and hilarious black comedy. You have successfully created a narrative that is engaging and entertaining throughout. Characters are well-developed and believable. They have well-conceived objectives that conflict cohesively and produce good drama, whilst your dialogue has an easy, natural rhythm to it
This would be a premier performance and I would dearly love to work with a director/Am Dram Group to stage this play!

Nominations for the 2022 - 2023 Season
Many congratualions to all Nominees, well done!
The winners will be announced at the Awards Evenings at Guide Bridge Theatre on the 28th and 29th July. All details are here and tickets will be on sale here as from tomorrow.
We will present the Drama Awards along with the Drama Shiled and any Board Awards on the 28th July (the Friday night) and the Musical and Pantomime Awards on Saturday 29th July.
Spaces are limited so it will be first come first served and we would respectfully ask that because the seats are limited that you don't book dozens in one hit so to speak. We fully appreciate that it's not the same as having as many seats as we need and more besides as we have had in the past but for all the reasons explained previously we are in the position of organising a different event. We are in straightened times and we have had to make compromises or do nothing at all.
Many thanks and once again well done to all those of you who have received a nomination.

Feature Documentary Actors/Extras required
Hi
I am the director of a feature documentary about a famous trial that took place in the UK in 1993. It was when two 11 year old boys were tried for the murder in Liverpool of 2 year old James Bulger.
We are recreating some aspects of the trial in a courtroom in Nottingham and we are looking for extra's who might like to take part. We need jury members and other roles.
Is it likely that any of the dramatic societies in Nottingham might be interested?
Thanks so much for spreading the word!
Kind regards

I am writing to you today to celebrate an incredible milestone in Scottish literature: the 100th anniversary of the publication of Scottish plays by Brown, Son & Ferguson Ltd.
As an independent theatre group that shares a passion for the performing arts, I wanted to reach out to you and share in this momentous occasion. For a century, these plays have entertained and inspired audiences all over the world, and have been instrumental in shaping the Scottish theatre scene.
Over the years, we have produced and published some of the most iconic Scottish plays, from the works of Compton Mackenzie, author of Whisky Galore to contemporary playwrights including Steve Athwal, author of our most recent play, Tribe. The themes explored in these plays - from love and loss to politics and power - are universal and continue to resonate with audiences today.
As we mark the 100th anniversary of the publication of Scottish plays, I believe it's important to reflect on these works' impact on theatre as an art form. I am proud to be part of a community that has embraced the richness and diversity of Scottish plays, and I believe that we are responsible for continuing to promote and celebrate these works for generations to come.
Whether you are a fan of classic plays or modern ones, one-act or full-length, there is something for everyone in our extensive collection. We would love to be considered for future performances and we have included our play catalogue, and look forward to supporting you in celebrating Scottish plays for many more years!
Please contact us, if you have any questions.
Kind Regards,
Simon C.

CHANNEL 4 - CASTING The Dog House
I’m writing from a production company called Five Mile Films, where we’re making a new series of the BAFTA nominated Channel 4 programme, The Dog House. We are starting the search again for people who can offer a loving home to a rescue dog.
The series is made with Woodgreen Pets Charity who specialise in matching their rescue dogs with would-be owners. The Dog House follows this process, getting to know the rescue dogs, and also the kind-hearted people willing to open their homes and their hearts to a new four-legged friend.
In previous series, we found that there were many reasons people might consider bringing a dog into their life – loneliness, extra company for a child, to encourage getting out and about, to live in the moment more, to name just a few.
We are currently looking to reach out to people who might be thinking about rehoming a rescue dog, and we wondered if anyone might be interested in making that step. For those who take part, Woodgreen will try to match them with a dog that suits their needs, who will fit into their home and family.

Casting a Murder Mystery
Our next show is going to be the return of our much loved Murder Mystery! But with a twist...we're also encouraging new, current or old members to get involved so please read details from our director below if you're interested in being in our cast! Parts are available for men and women of various ages.
We are intending to perform a murder mystery on Saturday 15th April and are now casting it!
Called "Boardroom Bloodshed", The chair of a company is murdered during a board meeting. All the members of the board appear to have a motive and the means. Cast members will perform a short scripted performance of the time before and during the board meeting up to the murder. Then, in teams, the audience will have an opportunity to consider the clues that they have just witnessed.
The cast members will then perform a scripted interrogation by a police officer. After a break, cast will then be questioned by the audience. This part is unscripted and will allow cast to improvise their responses whilst keeping an eye on the plot. Only those with "something to hide" are allowed to "lie". It is a fun way to perform, can be challenging and can be very funny when a completely unexpected question is asked.
Rehearsals will be on Tuesdays evenings from 28th February to 11th April inclusive, and Thursdays 30th March as well as 6th and 13th April.
If you would like to take part in this production, please message us through social media, or email us at necpneweltham@yahoo.co.uk with your name, phone number and a good time when our director could give you a call.

Nay, Remember Me!
Hello,
2023 marks the 400th anniversary of the First Folio, and it looks like it’s going to be a big event!
I want to let you know about my play Nay, Remember Me! which (by and large) charts the true story of the making of Shakespeare's First Folio. It would appeal to drama companies anywhere in the UK. Indeed, the celebrations are going to be global!
A bit more information:
Nay, Remember Me! is fun to perform in and fun for the audience to watch. I put Shakespeare on the stage at the beginning of the play, but after the first scene, he appears as a ghost. I turned the character of the apprentice Leason into a cross-dressing role because this reminds us that men played all the male and female roles during the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods. There is also a chance for some comedy here too.
The death of one of the main characters, the printer Jaggard, did happen, which was a potential disaster for Heminges and Condell, but for a playwright, this is gold dust. As Shakespeare is such a global figure, I decided that the play should also pop over the Atlantic to Washington, DC, to meet Folger, the oil baron who spent a fortune on collecting First Folios and spent millions of dollars setting up the Folger Library. Having lived in Stratford-upon-Avon for some years, I couldn't resist adding scenes that take a peep at modern-day Stratford-upon-Avon to marvel at Shakespeare's legacy.
Nay, Remember Me! was first performed as part of the RSC's Fringe Festival at The Other Place Theatre in 2001.
I later reworked and extended the piece, and the Malvern Theatre Players produced it in 2010, where it was performed at the Coach House Theatre in Malvern, once again designed and directed by Chris Bassett. This production was nominated for a prize by NODA for the Best Regional Production Award for Best Drama. NODA's representative, Trevor Guest, said that "Nay. Remember Me! has both humour and pathos, and the script is exceptionally well-written."
Nay, Remember Me! would be good to use for teaching, workshopping, and of course, ideal for a full performance.
The play is published by Lazy Bee Scripts and can be read for free by following this link:
www.lazybeescripts.co.uk
There is also more information in my blog:
www.ameliamarriette.com
With best wishes,
Amelia Marriette (MA in Shakespeare Studies)
I have made a little film about Nay, Remember Me!

Casting Call
I am a Film and Television student at the University of York and am currently looking for a male actor aged 40-55 to play the role of a father in my next short film.
"CoD and Chips," is a five-minute short film in which a father attempts to reconnect with his teenage son while struggling with the grief of his late wife.
Steven Williams is a father to his teenage son. Steven's wife passed away a few months ago. Each night Steven cooks dinner for his son in an attempt to sit down and have a conversation with him, but what he truly desires is to emotionally connect and be open about the grief that they are both experiencing.
If anyone is interested please contact me?
As this is a student film we would not be able to provide any payment, although we believe the film will be a valuable asset to all of our careers.
I look forward to hearing from you
