Collecting

Romsey Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society, who run the Plaza Theatre in Romsey have chosen The Collector as their first Green Room production of 2013, and I am directing it.

In the past I've blogged about the directing process.  It's probably not that educational for anyone else but, looking back at my previous efforts, it's a good way to remember the great fun we've had on previous productions.

So, around we go again.

The Collector is a play by Mark Healy, based upon John Fowles' novel about a young man, Frederick Clegg, who becomes obsessed with, and kidnaps, an art student, Miranda Grey.  It explores their changing relationship and Miranda's efforts to escape and to persuade Frederick to set her free.

The book was made into a film, starring Terence Stamp and Samantha Eggar, in the late-60s.

  2. Thank you Georgette. If previous productions are anything to go by, this blog will be intermittently sporadic.

  3. Hi Pete,
    Just realised I haven't emailed you my address to see the script - and I'm unable to come tomorrow anyway! I hope it goes well and I look forward to reading the blog :)
