A video demonstrating the importance of small venues to playwrights who are just starting out.

Here we see extracts from a new play by Scott Murphy, Falling Out with the Jones', which is in rehearsals before being performed at The Liverpool Actors' Studio. Director and actor Pauline Daniels is interviewed about the play - she talks about its themes and the importance of this venue (and other small venues) giving writers a chance to stage their work. She also talks about future performances that the theatre will be putting on throughout 2008.

Performing Arts: Theatre

First of the Performing Arts series...
The stage is set... the curtains are raised. This collection is first of a four-part series that looks at the wonders of Performing Arts - theatre, dance, music and performance beyond the mainstream. With theatre being one of the oldest mediums of the performer - spectator dynamic, its evolution across the decades is nothing short of fascinating. Going beyond the ephemeral, this collection allows us to venture further into the world of theatre, granting us on stage and backstage access. Here is a spotlight on the ever relevant and timeless nature of this art form; spaces for creative exchange and play; a tool for bringing awareness to important topics, combining artistry with activism; and engaging a wide range of performers and audiences alike. Who knows what the future holds for such an important, oftentimes radical means of expression? In the meantime, take your seat, get comfortable and, enjoy the show!
