Artwork for 'Little Shop of Horrors' at Lakeside, Nottingham
Here's my artwork for 'Little Shop of Horrors' (A5 flyer) at Lakeside Arts Centre, Nottingham in July 2012
Following the sell out success of Into The Woods in 2011, New Street Theatre and Lakeside present
Little Shop of Horrors
Directed by Martin Berry
A man eating plant. A hapless hero.
A beautiful maiden. A sadistic dentist.
What could possibly go wrong?
When Skid Row florist Seymour buys a strange and interesting plant, little does he know that it can talk and that it feeds on blood. Seymour names the plant Audrey Two to impress his beautiful co-worker Audrey, but she is busy fending off the attentions of her sadistic dentist boyfriend. Meanwhile Audrey Two has plans far greater and more terrifying than Seymour can possibly imagine.
Written by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, this enormously popular musical is a hilarious pastiche of musical theatre and 1960’s style which has been seen by millions of people around the world.
Brought to you by the team behind the 2011 sell-out production of Into The Woods (described by reviewers as ‘wonderful’, ‘amazing’, ‘outstanding’ and ‘brilliant’), this is a rare chance to catch this timeless show and see what all the fuss is about.
Strictly limited run.
Contains mild peril!

Review of 'Accidental Death of an Anarchist' by Carole Philip
'Accidental Death of an Anarchist' at the Lace Market Theatre, 3-8 October 2011
Although I have seen many excellent performances at the Lace Market Theatre, none have impressed me enough to put pen to paper for The Boards.
Last week, however, I saw Chris Ireson give an outstanding performance as the Maniac in Accidental Death of an Anarchist, and I felt it could not go without due praise.
Even in a well-directed production, which this was, it would have been so easy to overplay or ham up this role. Chris gave us a measured, meaningful and totally believable performance, changing character, mood and of course, accent, often in mid sentence.
The energy he gave every line and movement filled the stage throughout the whole performance. No mean feat at the best of times, but he was also ill and still managed to give a performance many of our members could only dream of.
The false hand and wooden leg scene could have desended into unfunny slapstick and chaos, but it worked because of the controlled delivery, pace and timing by Chris. Chris, your performance was a tour de force and you should be deservedly proud.

Review of 'Accidental Death of an Anarchist' by Janice White
'Accidental Death of an Anarchist' at the Lace Market Theatre, 3-8 October 2011
Leaving the theatre after Accidental Death of an Anarchist I walked down Halifax Place with an elderly couple. I asked if they had enjoyed the show. The old gentleman replied quickly 'Oh it was very well done. Excellent acting,' thus my own opinion ... 'BUT(Why is there so often a 'but'?), that sort of pure Marxism is very dangerous - especially at this time.' I reassured him that there were not enough people in the audience to start a riot. Until we parted he reiterated his concerns in deadly serious fashion to the consternation of his wife. What an endorsement!
Sooo ... the show was a spectacular success then, Andy! Except it didn't play to full houses. Shame on those who opted out of the latest Lace Market triumph. You missed one of the funniest, nay hysterical, farces we have ever staged. Chris Ireson, as Maniac, gave a master class in the full range of comedic technique with vocal and body language encompassing every nuance possible. As they plotted cover-up after cover-up of the anarchist's final hours, a fully supportive cast contributed lively caricatures of clownish buffoonery in keeping with the traditions of commedia dell'arte.
Mark James' set was a properly utilitarian 1960s Police HQ in Milan, the sombre grey office harshly lit with very white light, unnatural and hard edged, creating an exaggerated sense of reality which evoked a soulless institution. Researching the real crime which inspired Dario Fo's play, Mark pointed the crime scene as a high white framed window among four rows of red, set sufficiently downstage to allow 'the chase', lit from above, to be pantomimed behind. Rose Dudley (lighting) and Gareth Morris (sound - or sometimes lack of it), combined to create a feeling of discomfort in an audience complicit in the crime. Typical was the opening when the initial blackout was cut by a brilliant shaft of white light as the office door opened and Bertozzo entered to self-consciously preen himself in complete silence.
Congratulations to Andy Taylor for crafting a gem of a performance in which the audience was drawn mercilessly into the action. Its message is as relevant now as it was in 1970s Italy: power, politics and corruption are natural bedfellows unless we are eternally vigilant.
