Delighted with the response and feedback this show is generating and thanks to everyone who came along to see the show this month. All the years of hard work to get this play up and running is beginning to pay off and we are already planning a new tour for early next year.
More auditions and then back into Producer mode to take The Benny Lynch Story to the wonderful Dundee Rep followed by the beautiful Dunfermline Alhambra. More standing ovations and packed houses greeted the cast as the show goes from strength to strength and full credit to our superb cast
and crew on a thoroughly professional job pulled together in record quick time, as we only had 2 weeks of rehearsals before opening this new show in Ayr last month. Thanks to Jim Spence for meeting the cast afterwards and for his wonderful support and praise for the show.
And we had some very special guests at the Alhambra (above) as relatives and family of Benny Lynch came to the show in great numbers and audience members brought along some unbelievably precious pieces of memorabilia which we aim to include in an exhibition on our next tour.
We managed to sneak Bryan Turnbull onstage as well to get his photo taken in the old street where he was born before the show! Delighted to receive our first glowing reviews as well as the show rolled into another full-house in Motherwell and a brilliant audience they were too. Thanks to Holly Jack
for the photo above of our lovely cast pre-show. We had a well-earned week off after Motherwell and headed down to Birmingham for an episode of BBC daytime drama DOCTORS. Absolutely loved working on this long-running show with a brilliant cast and crew and delighted to be back working
with the BBC again at The Drama Village. My episode will air in November so will update nearer the time. Huge thanks to my agent Luc Chaudhary and all at Letherbridge for such a warm welcome and another great character to play! Then raced back to Scotland to shoot another 4 scenes on a major
Bollywood feature film, 83 and a very enjoyable experience all round on this one with a great cast and directed by the fabulous Kabir Khan. The film is shooting all summer and due to be released in April 2020. Wee photo from the set below and a joy to have been a part of and a film which will
find a huge audience on it's release. Loved working with the Indian cast & crew on this and glad I could squeeze it in between filming DOCTORS at the same time. Lots of travel this month but all very worthwhile and another offer in for a telly job later in the summer. Then back to Glasgow for
our final week of THE BENNY LYNCH STORY 2019 Tour and another sold out gig at Eastwood Theatre and finally to The Brunton, Musselburgh and another OV! Huge congratulations to our wonderful cast and crew and a huge thank you to all of you who came along to the shows. We will be
bringing the show back in 2020 as the reaction has been huge to this tour and we have yet to bring it home to Glasgow! A jam-packed and quite brilliant month and more to come this summer!
