Stagestruck Am-drams Storm West End via Sky???
Amateur dramatic groups only have a few days left to apply for Sky Arts’ Stagestruck competition. To enter, they must record a five-minute performance from one of the audition plays – a selection of classics from Aeschylus to Wilde, including Chekhov, Ibsen and (of course) Shakespeare – and then upload the video with your application form on the Sky Arts website.
Sky Arts hasn’t yet revealed who’s on the mentoring team but, tantalisingly, promises that the actors are drawn “from the very cream of Britain’s stage elite … there is a Dame (not pantomime) a Tony and three Olivier Award winners in the mix”. The deadline for entries is next Monday 25 July. For more information log on to the Stagestruck website.
