Support British have produced a number of brilliant online productions during lockdown and A Christmas Carol is another opportunity to see a really entertaining play with some really excellent actors. It is also a good play for feeling Christmassy!

King Lear is the latest play in a long series of Zoom plays which have been presented by UK Actors Support Network throughout lockdown. Other highlights have included well-known plays like The Winter’s Tale and The Importance of Being Earnest, as well as plays I hadn’t heard of like Hindle Wakes.

Hindle Wakes was written in 1910, but it makes some
interesting observations about gender and class. We might like to think we have
moved away from some of the conventions and beliefs of the early twentieth
century, but I think the issues explored in this play do exist today and that
makes this play not just very enjoyable but very relevant.

Everyone talks about Twilight
and various other modern vampire stories but I’ve never found a vampire novel
to beat Bram Stoker’s Dracula. It’s a really brilliant book and it’s
difficult to imagine a better stage adaption than this one.

This Zoom reading of The Winter’s Tale was put
together by actor John Craggs, founder of the UK Actors’ Support Network. This
organisation was formed in 2018 to give support to actors, as well as providing
news and information.
