A great article on BBC about Wessex Grove & Underbelly's immersive Macbeth staring Ralph Fiennes. 

 

We are delighted to be bringing this epic production to warehouses and other non-conventional spaces in Liverpool, Edinburgh, London and Washington DC. 

 

Whilst we love a proscenium arch, we also love the variety and extra challenges that non-conventional spaces bring.

April 2023

 

"A Little Life" is by far the most challenging subject matter we've encountered in any production. 

 

After a handful of previews in Richmond we moved to the Pinter Theatre. Due to the phenomenal demand for tickets, we move again in June to the Savoy.

 

Outwardly simple, but deceptively complex, Jan Versweyveld's design requires everything to be practical and authentic, along with some clever effects. 

 

It has been a joy to work with Jan, his UK Scenic Associate Al Turner, and the entire team. 

 

 

February 2023

 

Great to have opened "The King & I" in Canterbury, embarking on it's second UK Tour. 

 

It's a big show to move on a weekly basis but we couldn't wish for a better touring team, or a better group of production staff. 

 

Looking forward to refining the moves over the next few weeks. 

 

 

December 2022

 

We have been asked by Playful Productions and Michael McCabe to take over the ongoing production management of Wicked in London. 

 

We are looking forward to getting to know the production team who have been looking after the show so brilliantly for the past 16 years!

 

 

November 2022

 

Delighted to be continuing our work with Emily Vaughan-Barratt on this exciting production of "A Little Life" with a stellar cast and creative team.

 

We have worked with Emily for over a decade, first at The Print Rooms, then at ATG Productions, and now for Emily and Ben's exciting new company, Wessex Grove.

Thanks to all the team at BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music) for getting the show in and up so smoothly, especially Production Supervisor Paul Bartlett and Master Carpenter Jonathan Bracken

Our first full project for Secret Cinema completed!

 

We've battled through covid postponements and site shut downs - but we made it to opening. 

 

It has been an honour to lead a massive production team, overseeing the transformation of a dilapidated warehouse and a barren car park into something pretty special.

This month we have been helping MIF (Manchester International Festival) deliver the finale of Little Amal's epic 8000km journey across Syria, Turkey, Greece, Italy, France, Germany and more. 

 

The completely free event took Little Amal on a journey through Manchester city centre, culminating in a show at Castlefield Bowl.

i News Review of Russell Tovey and Omari Douglas in "Constellations" at the Vaudeville Theatre

 

We were first involved with "Constellations" back in 2015, looking after the UK tour. As we continue on the journey out of covid, it's fantastic that this show has been remounted, this time with 4 incredible couples, including Russell and Omari as the first same-sex couple. The i feels the "same-sex take is the richest yet" - and we wholeheartedly agree!
