.................. Much ado about alot! by Fiona Finch


THERE was much ado in a small Lancashire church... about some­ thing very special. Young and talented director Owen


Phillips had brought his new produc­ tion of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing home, as a triumphant finale to the Ribchester Festival of Music. Owen, who grew up in the Ribble


■Valley village, chose to give a pre-Edin­ burgh Festival Fringe performance of the sparkling production in his home ■village. I t was a delight on many counts - first as evidence of a maturing talent (Owen has taken two previous produc­ tio n s by the ap p ro p r ia te ly named Ribcaged Theatre Productions compa­ ny to Edinburgh). Secondly, because i t ’s not often an


■ audience is treated to a feisty produc­ tion of a Shakespeare comic classic at a village venue. But most of all it was a delight


because this (predominantly) youthful cast met the challenge of such a per­ formance with infectious enthusiasm and verve. The play was given a contemporary-


ish twist by setting it in 1930s’ high society - a cue for some delightful orig­ inal music by Lara Lopez and some stylish and beautifully fitted costumes created by Anne-Marie Caunce. The score, described as “composed


with influences of 1930s’ jazz and East­ ern European gypsy music” helped move the production along at a tremen­ dous pace, adding to the mood of pre­ war gaiety.


■ Were there any stars? Well yes, in a


very competent cast Julia Burchell’s Beatrice and Keith Flood’s Leonato stood out. Burchell’s perfect diction was a tre a t , th e more so perhaps

because the acoustics of the setting - the medaeval church of St Wilfrid, equipped wjth a temporary stage for the music festival - placed special demands on the cast. Not all were quite so clear. She captured the forcefulness and fragility of Beatrice with ease. Keith Flood, who, a f te r years of


delighting local audiences on the ama­ teur stage, has turiied professional, proved an excellent match for a demanding role, which saw him turn from proud father, to a swift-to-judge and vengeful parent and finally back to- happy father of the bride. • Whether leading laughter-filled carousing, or accusing daughter Piero, or confronting his own sorrow. Flood was master of his role, challenging the audience to move with his moods. Hero, herself, was played delightful­


ly by Rosy Williams, who also managed to woo the audience with some unex­ pected violin playing, which fi tted seamlessly into the production and added to the entertainment. Special mention too should go to

their roles and flair to the production. ■ Paul Hassall was a very enthusiastic


Benedick. The cast used the space in the church


well, delighting the audience, most memorably as they made their way down the main nave to a masked ball and later to Hero’s supposed funeral. The pace of line delivery by some of the cast could, at times, have been a little slower. But that’s a problem that can be quickly sorted. ■ Owen Phillips both produced and


directed this production, as he did the acclaimed “Sex For Shampoo” and “The War Bus” which were taken to Edinburgh in 2007 and 2005 respective­
