The main news at the moment is the fantastic success of Act V's "Macbeth", which has just finished its run at the Bath Shakespeare Festival!

It's had a hell of a journey, starting in the Alma Tavern pub theatre in Bristol last April and then going to the Fringe festival in Edinburgh , where it was seen by Phillip Parr, who runs the BSF.  After seeing it there, invited  Act V to perform four shows and a post-show Q&A.  The run sold out three weeks prior to its first show, possibly thanks to the brilliant media coverage and reviews, ( Venue magazine said it was the best Shakespeare of 2005, above BOV and the Tobacco Factory!) and the people who missed it in Bristol.  The production of "Macbeth" (which is performed by only four actors, of these Oliver plays a witch, murderer, King Duncan and Macduff) is now being floated for interest in London theatres, which seems the obvious next step.
