The Review - THEATRE
Published: 30 August 2007

In the wings

ACTORS, singers and mimes of the future will be in weekend training from September, as youngsters learn the ropes at the New End Saturday Drama Academy.
Children from 5-16 will be script-led in the acting masterclasses, which run through until December, starting on September 22.
For applications call 020 7472 5800.

HOW, you may ask, can the family classic The Railway Children be retold using only one child actor?
The story of a group of children and their parents who must readjust themselves to a life of poverty gets a clever rewrite for the King’s Head’s children show matinees, starting in September.
Join Roberta, Mother and Mr Perks from September 11-30.

ONE of the oldest and most beautiful theatres in London, the Hackney Empire, is looking into its past to find out its story so far.
The Edwardian-built variety house has had stints as a TV studio and a bingo hall, and survived bombing throughout the Second World War, is now having a book written about it.
Anyone with stories or memories of the playhouse is asked to contact Andrew Rye on 07972 825 129 or via email to historybook@hackneyempire.co.uk.

THIS week’s lucky competition winners are Adrian Brodkin, Siri Hansen, Sandra Singer and Janie Saunders.
They each win a pair of tickets to see the National Youth Music Theatre’s latest, the Neil Simon-penned musical romp Little Me, at the Bloomsbury Theatre.
