The BDTC team would like to thank all who came to see Merchant of Venice.
Again, it was a success and as such we will be rolling out the next production.

Much Ado About Nothing, which will be taking place in July.

As usual BDTC are keen on finding and introducing new performers, even those without experience in working with Shakespeare.

Three times a week, a disparate bunch of young folk bring themselves together in a large, stiflingly hot room above a pub and muck around with one of Shakespeare’s best. I say muck around, it’s more like furnishing 16th century language with strawberries, balloons and, wherever possible, death.  This is Richard III – Bingo Dragon style.

This is the first of hopefully dozens of blogs by various cast members, declaiming in frightening detail our rehearsal process.  Our production is just u...
