“When we share these stories we light a candle for those who were lost” – Layton Williams on Hushabye Mountain
We caught up with Layton Williams during rehearsals for Hope Mill Theatre’s new production of Hushabye Mountain.
WORDS BY CHRIS SELMAN
1st June 2021
Manchester’s Hope Mill Theatre will be soon be reviving Jonathan Harvey’s 1999 play Hushabye Mountain in a new streaming production directed by Nick Bagnall.
It tells the story of a world that is adapting to live with HIV. In the new normal where we’re learning to live with Covid, and in the wake of Russell T Davies’ incredible hit show It’s A Sin, it feels like a very timely revival. We thought we’d check in with star of the show Layton Williams to find out what it was all about.
A HOST of famous faces are coming to Worcestershire’s theatres when they re-open next month. In Malvern, legendary actor Ralph Fiennes stars in a world premiere adaptation of T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets in July at Malvern Theatres.. The Festival Theatre will reopen on June 8 with Cold War thriller A Splinter of Ice presented by the award-winning Original Theatre Company. Oliver Ford Davies (Game of Thrones, Star Wars) and Stephen Boxer (The Crown) star in this new play by Ben Brown. To add to this line-up, Jodie Prenger stars in Andrew Lloyd Webber and Don Black’s classic musical Tell Me On A Sunday.
This is what has replaced The Green Room bar at The Arcadian Sanjeeta Bains
A new Greek restaurant is replacing the popular Green Room cafe.
The Green Room was an early casualty of the Covid pandemic -and permanently closed before the first lockdown ended in July 2020.
The site has now been transformed into Mythos taverna, a rustic Mediterranean style restaurant - complete with heated terrace, adorned with deep red flowers, facing the theatre square.
There is an array of authentic Greek dishes on its massive menu - such as souvlaki grill dishes as well as moussaka and kleftiko - traditional Greek lamb shank slow-cooked in herbs for four hours served with lemon roast potatoes.
