News Update – 10th July 2008
Well we’re in that busy pre summer period for sedos. In fact it’s been a busy 2008 all round. Red Hot and Black sold fantastically well and received great reviews – in fact if you want to read them, click here. 
Road followed the week afterwards with similarly excellent reviews and the biggest audiences we’ve ever had for a play. 
Then it was time for the first sedos musical of the year with My Favorite Year, directed by Andrew Overin. Mark Emmett was charming as Benjy Stone, dealing with being a freshman writer on the King Kaiser Comedy TV show, whilst having to babysit James Newalls dashing drunkard, Alan Swann. Again excellent review followed including this incredibly gushing peice by Mary Couzens from Extra Extra.
You could say that the first half of the year was successful!
As I write this, the cast of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead are busily putting the finishing touches to their interpretation of the play, which I am reliably informed contains more than its fair share of pirates. Tickets are available here, but are selling fast.
Not long after Rosencrantz and Guildenstern die for the last time, Becky Smith and her cast are treating us to a two night preview of their Edinburgh run of Don Carlos. If you want to know more about it, click here, or check out the trailer here. That’s right, they’ve made a movie trailer. They are also running a blog, so pop in and leave a comment.
This year’s Shakespeare in the city has been cast, and rehearsals for A Midsummer Nights Dream are underway, with several venues confirmed. And with Stepping Out auditioning in a couple of weeks, it looks like it is going to be a busy summer.
And that’s not even mentioning the autumn musical, which will be confirmed at the beginning of August. Watch this space for announcements!
Speaking of August, the next issue of the sedos newsletter will be sent out, so if you have something you would like to write about, advertise, or just generally let sedos members know about, contact me at press@sedos.co.uk. If you didn’t get your last newsletter for some reason, contact the membership secretary (Bridget) at bridget@sedos.co.uk.
And last but not least, keep the 23rd of July free, for our sedos social at the Golden Lion in Kings Cross. The event is open to members, but also to anyone who wants to find out more about sedos, and have a beer. Click here for more details. any enquiries and RSP's to Amber at Amber.McAlpine@echarris.com.
Other than that, have a good summer and see you at the Bridewell!
