Michael Harrison panto update
October 19, 2008
We caught up with Michael Harrison again as we follow the progress of writing, producing and directing this year’s pantomime at the Theatre Royal, Newcastle. Just after our chat he was taking a short well deserved break in the sun, before returning to face the hectic panto season.
Since we last spoke to Michael as he unleashed Titan the Robot on unsuspecting shoppers in Newcastle Upon Tyne, he has been busy with the new touring version of Witches of Eastwick, which is playing to packed theatres around the country. The North East will get a chance to see the production in the spring when the show, starring Marti Pellow, plays the Sunderland Empire.
Since we last talked Michael has finished the script for Robinson Crusoe and the Caribbean Pirates selected the costumes and is ready to start working with the stars of the show, Danny Adams and Clive Webb, on some of their routines in the next few weeks.
Following this it is down to rehearsals which will take place in the Theatre Royal before moving in to the auditorium for the technical rehearsals before the show opens on December the 5th.
Michael has given us the opportunity to drop in on rehearsals and we look forward to letting you know how things are progressing as the record breaking pantomime prepares to open.
