THIS WAS A MAN : AN INTRODUCTION TO NOEL COWARD

At Venture Wolf we feel passionately that great works should remain accessible to new generations and that people’s economic background should not prevent them from developing a love of theatre or limit their ambition to enter the industry. As Coward is rarely studied drama students can have misconceptions or a complete lack of awareness of the technical flair of his writing and his powerful exploration of contemporary life.
Our productions specialise in creating performances that are emotionally engaging, fun and accessible performing the plays of the past as if they were written today. Our intimate venue enables the audience to really engage in the action where you can see every character’s haunting glare, share in their snatched laughter and feel the chill of their panicked breath.
Themes our workshops can cover include; Performing and exploring the works of Coward, Examine gossip and social media’s impact on our behaviour, attitude and relationships; Examine the pressure and concept on identity and expectations for Men and Women and sexuality in contemporary life/
