Edmund - Son of Gloucester - Rehearsal of Act 3 - Scene 2

A little pressie for you all before we publish on Friday. 

This is a filmed rehearsal on Act 3 Scene 2 of Edmund - Son of Gloucester. It was created in late 1995/early 1996 for the Waterside Theatre in Stratford Upon Avon so they could check we had the chops to perform in their lovely in-the-round space.  In this scene Robert Addie plays Soldier, Aidan Herd plays Spit and Adrian Ross Jones plays Edmund. It is a comic scene in which Spit tells the Soldier of Edmund's acts of derring-do.  

God, I miss Robert and Aidan. 

Here's to the friends and family we have lost along the way.

Edmund - Son Of Gloucester - Published next week!

After years of gathering dust in the Exiled loft, Edmund, Son of Gloucester is finally being published.

The script for this 1996 epic is packed with lost of extra goodies. 

More details to follow, for now please enjoy this promo video from 96 with Robert Addie doing his best to keep a straight face.
