The Bacchae – Nuffield Theatre

September 3, 2010 


Took rehearsal photograph of 'The Bacchae' last night which is a youth theatre project from Nuffield Theatre, Southampton. Tim Ford directs and he continues his very high standards that he set with 'Women of Troy' at Birmingham Repertory Theatre. Tim is the closest director I know who ploughs a similar furrow to Kneehigh Theatre. Not that he copies them but that there is a common language to his shows, an incredible energy from his cast, always an amazing sound score and underscore from live musician/actors and - crucially - there's never a second wasted on stage.Tim left Birmingham Rep to get main house theatre experience and I don't think it will be long before the rest of the country hears about him.
