CONGRATULATIONS to Robert Readman, and the cast of Pick Me Up Theatre, who performed Alan Bennett’s The History Boys at The Rowntree Theatre last week. I have never written in to The Press before, but these ‘pupils’ deserve a mention.
This play is wordy, and needs clear diction for the audience to appreciate the references to literature, politics, religion, social class, education, plus many more subjects.
I was astounded by the talent shown by every single actor, as their stage presence and confidence in their script clarified all these.
I hope these young men are local, as I was so proud to be watching their skills, and proud to be ‘Yorkshire’.
I will be definitely be booking for any future productions, as our local actors deserve our support and encouragement.
