2003 - Chapterhouse Theatre Company

2003

Our fourth year, and our biggest and best until this point. 2003 was our first foray into theatres with the tour of 'Hamlet' and 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. We were out between September and late November, with a cast who, for the most part, had just completed our summer season, so for them to produce the magnificent performances they did, day in day out, for nearly six months, was phenomenal. A big thank you to all of them. This was also the year that Chapterhouse released our 'Midsummer and Winter' CD, containing music from our most popular shows, written and performed by myself and Bryan Nevin, amongst others. This was great fun to do, and was readily enjoyed by those who bought it. Richard Main
SUMMER 2003
ROMEO and JULIET by William Shakespeare Directed by Richard Main The opportunity to perform the closing scenes of Romeo and Juliet under a clear, star lit sky is one of the many wonderful memories I have been given by Chapterhouse. Over the years, I hope that audiences and actors alike have taken fond memories from our performances, as I have. Our two new ventures in 2003 hopefully added to those memories. This was a very exciting time for us at Chapterhouse, and it was our wonderful audiences that made all of it possible. Richard Main		What the papers and audiences said… "The audience was treated to a superb performance by Chapterhouse Theatre Company." The Ormskirk Advertiser "a touring company which rises to the challenge of staging plays in the open air and succeeds triumphantly." Marian Cox, Dorset Echo "Very slick and intimate". Audience Member, Trigony House Hotel "passion and power...Di Caprio and other 'big' names I have seen fade into mediocrity against delivery of this calibre". Michael Nunn, Virtual Lancaster

Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare Directed by Karen Crow What the audiences said… "First class production". "One of the best I have ever seen - the comparison is 20+ years of RSC and NT! Congratulations." "Superb and hilarious performance". "A fantastic evening - wonderful performance and a superb way to celebrate a birthday with friends!"		What the papers said… "The perfect summer evening, the perfect setting and the perfect performance". North Devon Journal "Chapterhouse Theatre Company know how to do things differently, and to do it well". Lincolnshire Echo '
AUTUMN/WINTER 2003
HAMLET A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare Directed by Karen Crow By the summer of 2003, our open-air tours of country houses and gardens during the summer were well-established, and seen throughout Britain by thousands of theatre-lovers. I decided to take the company's brand of accessible and energy-driven Shakespeare to theatres throughout the land in an exciting and thrilling new journey. We were joined by many of those actors who helped to build that brand, and 'Hamlet' and 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' were hopefully enjoyed by all the audiences who saw us. Richard Main		What the papers and audiences said… "pure dynamite" Swindon Evening Advertiser, on 'Hamlet' "I've said it before, and no doubt will do so again...'Another triumph for the company'." Lincolnshire Echo "Shakespeare plays are safe in this company’s hands." Swindon Evening Advertiser, on 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' "Chapterhouse, well done (again)" Michael Nunn, Virtual Lancaster
