Amy Powell Yeates (class of 2010) got in touch recently to tell us about a new production she’s working on with Grace Staniland called The Two Worlds of Charlie F.
The play is based on the experiences of a company of wounded, injured and sick military servicemen and women. The award-winning writer Owen Sheers has written the play after spending a month-long R&D period with the company just before xmas. Owen wrote the widely praised Port Talbot community project directed by Michael Sheen – The Passion. The company of soldiers and marines will perform the play at the Theatre Royal Haymarket on 22 January (matinee and evening).
Amy said ‘it’s a really exciting project – the first time the Army Recovery Capability have worked in theatre as part of their recovery programme. I would be hugely grateful if you would circulate this info around the Workshop Theatre/School of English and your contacts who might be interested.’
Consider it done!
