I am aware that this is quite unusual, and I may be on the wrong notice board, but I would like to give a brief review of a director.

I was in The Taming of The Shrew. The show finished on Sat night and thank you to all who came along and for all of your kind comments.

Stephen Lee, the director of Shrew, runs workshops and classes in Shakespeare, Method and other techniques under the guise of The Method Studio.

My advice to you; GO. His technique, inspiration, feeling for the text, unfailing enthusiasm, compassion and support have not only made for one of the most enjoyable productions I have ever been in, but probably the best one too. From the outset he infused the production and the cast with a feeling of fun, pace and energy that we carried with us at all times, even through lost voices, costume disasters and THOSE BLOODY PEACOCKS!!

Stephen has taught me a lot about Shakespeare, voice and movement technique, timing and my own ability. He has made me a better performer. I know he has classes (at The Method Studio) which have already started, but I urge you to contact him if you want to learn about acting from a professional with a wealth of knowledge and experience, and one hell of a teacher.

I think I speak for the whole cast Steve when I say that we can't thank you enough for the pleasure and privilege of working with you.
