KATHARINE ROGERS has directed a production of William Goldman's Lord of the Flies for Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

Originally published in 1954, this Nigel Williams adaptation gives the story a powerful resonance. It runs at the Bridewell Theatre from October 20-23rd.

Prior to that, Katharine directed a fascinating and rarely-seen Tennessee Williams play for RADA.

Written in the mid-70’s, A Lovely Sunday For Creve Coeur saw Williams return to the influences that shaped his greatest work.

This successful revival was produced at RADA's Guilgud Theatre in June.

ROBERT GWILYM has just ended an October run at the Ustinov Studio, Bath, in David Harrower's Knives in Hens.

A play "of rare and potent magic" (The Guardian), it tells the story of a love triangle between an uneducated young woman, her ploughman husband and the local outcast. Prior to this, Robert appeared as Cockburn in The Frontline, a critically-acclaimed new play by Che Walker produced at Shakespeare's Globe.
