Garrick play for West End.Byline: Roger Clarke Roger Clarke is a presenter and reporter for Sky Sports News and was the first journalist to interview Jermain Defoe on the day of his controversial transfer from West Ham United to Tottenham Hotspur. A MIDLAND theatre The Midland Theatre is a 3,573-seat theater located in Kansas City, Missouri, USA. It was built by Marcus Loew, completed in 1927, at a cost of $4 million and is the largest historic theater within 250 miles of the city. The Midland, designed by architect Thomas W. has pulled off a major coup with one of its home grown productions being snapped up by London's West End. Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf, the Edward Albee classic, ran for a month last October at the Lichfield Garrick Studio and starred Matthew Kelly (Bleak House, Cold Blood) and Tracey Childs (Howard's Way, Hollyoaks) as the warring couple George and Martha. The Lichfield Garrick Rep sell-out production earned rave reviews and has now has been transferred to the Trafalgar Studios in the West End, which in a past life was the famous Whitehall Theatre. The London production, which again will have the intimacy of a studio production, will have the same cast and the same director, Andrew Hall. Kelly, famous as TV's Stars In Their Eyes host, is no stranger to the West End. In 2003 he picked up an Olivier award for Lenny in Of Mice and Men Of Mice and Men story of George Milton and Lennie Small’s futile dream of having their own farm. [Am. Lit.: Of Mice and Men] See : Futility Of Mice and Men - the Birmingham Rep revival, which also transferred to the West End. The London production opens on April 14 and runs until May 9.. |
