Before the start of the festival the buzz was all around Rob’s co-penned one man show “Away From Home”. Now, as the festival winds down, it has become the must-see show for the future, as every reviewer expects it to go on the celebrated RE:Play festival, and from the below reviews, much further. Congratulations Rob for all your hard work and deserved success.

An ambitious and exciting project of new writing and audience debate, “99%” is an evening inspired by a modern world where civil unrest is becoming more common due to a lack of faith for the governing bodies to deal with current issues. Produced and Directed by Helena and her BackHere! Theatre Company. It plays for one night at the Lyric Hammersmith. Click on links for details.
“Away From Home” at the 24:7 Theatre Festival
For all those based in the North West, 24:7 Theatre Festival has come to represent the centre of new talent and new writing. With this is mind it is with great pleasure we announce that AD’s own Rob Ward will be involved this year in “Away From Home”, a subversive one man show which he co-wrote and stars in, about the life of a male escort who becomes involved with a Premier League footballer.

Hot on the books and onto your screens.
A huge welcome and hearty congratulations to one of the newest ladies to the Actors Direct books, Mary Hooton (pic). No sooner had she joined Actors Direct than she was booked for an advert, coming onto your television soon. A professional match made in heaven, we quite agree. Congratulations again to Mary who is shooting her ad this week.
