Back from a facinating three days at the New Victoria Theatre Newcaste-Under-Lyme where we were developing ‘Full Circle’. The New Vic theatre produces work in the round and has a long history of doing so opening in 1986 as the first purpose theatre in the round in Europe. We were there for three days and were warmly welcomed by the staff and had productive meetings and views on the joys and pitfalls of working in the magic circle with Theresa Heskins, Steve O’Brian and Liz Evans. We also had great support from Gemma, Gary and Paul from Appetite and thanks also to the stewards for turning out on a windy Saturday morning for the try out in Hanley.
