THE WEST END IS OPEN FOR BUSINES AT I.S.T
No one would argue that here in Tianjin, we are a long way from the theatrical
heartland of London’s West End. As such the D.P Theatre course at I.S.T is
sponsoring the arrival of the West End in Tianjin. Once a month you can come to
the theatre at I.S.T and be treated to a professional production of both
contemporary and classic plays, performed by some of the world’s greatest
theatre performers.
This event is newly developed to meet the needs of our grade 11 and 12 Theatre
students. Students studying Theatre as part of the Diploma program are required
to see live theatre to help develop their ability to communicate ideas in a variety
of ways. With few English-speaking theatre opportunities available in Tianjin, it
became necessary to take alternative measures. Digital Theatre came to our
rescue by recording professional theatre productions that keep the integrity and
live nature of a theatre show, so that we can enjoy an exciting level of creativity
and performance. This event is sponsored by the D.P Theatre program; meaning
that you do not have to pay anything. Could life be any sweeter?
Last month we opened with an
original work from Frantic Assembly,
one of the world’s leading devising
companies. Next Tuesday, September
2, presenting Richard Eyre’s powerful
direction of the classic play, “Ghosts.”
This play was first staged in the late
1800’s and shocked audiences with
his realistic view of life. “Ghosts” tells
the story of Mrs. Alving’s growing
consciousness of the enduring presence and legacy of the lecherous, alcoholic
husband she never loved and of the consequences of pretending that her
marriage was a good one.
We lighten the mood in November
with, ”A Comedy of Errors,” which is
a contemporary version of
Shakespeare’s well-known comedy,
which was designed to be accessible
by the young and old alike. There is
nothing staid about this version with
its street comedy vibe.
