Must admit I enjoyed convincing one of the (experienced!) actors in SKELLIG that by some strange quirk in the wiring, all our backstage calls at The Bloomsbury get played over the loudspeakers in the auditorium at the London Palladium, so that at that very moment the audience for SISTER ACT were hearing our beginnners call for SKELLIG....

Neal was born in Birmingham but it was an accident that led him back to his home town to create the BSC. He was looking for a theatre in which to base his fledgling company and remembered that in 1989 he had been shown round The Old Rep Theatre by the theatre manager. He was lucky that he second visit coincided with the arrival of a new manager, Neil Johnston, (and not just because his name was Neil). Mr Johnston was looking for a way to enhance the activity of the Old Rep and the two men's ambitions coincided perfectly. Neal moved his company into the theatre and the BSC was formed. Since then he has run the BSC as an actor/manager, appearing in many of the company's shows. He has most recently performed in their productions of TWELFTH NIGHT and SKELLIG (performing in New York, March 2011).

Ha ha that's really funny! Neal I just wanted to thank you all for donating the money to the bears last night - you guys are great! It was a lovely, lovely show and I'm your new born fan( even if I was scared of Skellig a bit;).Once again many thanks and Merry Christmas to all of you.
You were a great audience and we loved doing the show. Being able to actually do something to help this charity is a fantastic treat!
Very glad you're our new fan!
Welcome aboard!
Ha ha - not sure about the London Palladium but the leisure centre next door definitely!
I think a few treadmillers were a bit confused to be called to the stage to push the Bandar-Log.
VERY excited to here Birmingham Stage are doing Bagpuss! Oliver Postgate is a legend!
Hope Skellig is going well - love to everyone at the Bloomsbury!
