Baba Shakespeare is a new production to be staged by Tower Theatre Company at the Arcola Tent from Tuesday 17th April - Wednesday 2nd May 2012 as part of the RSC Open Stages, which has been described as the UK's biggest amateur theatre project.

The script for Baba Shakespeare has been written by director Emmeline Winterbotham and is derived from the screenplay of the 1965 Merchant Ivory film Shakespeare Wallah, a true story that follows the family of actress Felicity Kendal as they travel around post-colonial India as a troupe of Shakespeare players.

Meeting with the Middletons

This afternoon I had a lovely meeting with Gren and Juliet, who own the Puppet Barge and are very kindly providing me with advice during the marionette carving process.  It was the first time I had shown them the puppet and it was fantastic to see it spring to life in their expert hands.  I came away with a lot of answers and suggestions to try regarding the design of the control and the way in which the marionette is hung on its strings, which I will implement before Emma, Asif and I meet for our next rehearsal over the weekend.
