Don’t Go into The Cellar Expereince and The Canterville Ghost

Still from Poet’s film Adieu with Love

A regular post will follow soon.

This week was interrupted by having to travel to Manchester on a work-related trip with a funereal theme – coffins!

It had a flavour of Don’t Go into the Cellar about it, the theatre prodution company that offers Victorian theatre with bite!

Through them I met Oscar Wilde as theatre show host a.k.a. Mr Jonathan Goodwin the director and producer.

They will be back in Cumbria soon with a production of The Canterville Ghost.

Wilde Film Project in Ransome Setting

 

 

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

 

Poet requires:

Two people (18+) to play the parts of  lovers in a pastoral setting for a short film.

Text:  Wilde’s Garden of Eros as Voice-Over.

The proposed film will have movement with room for a few dance moves.

Costume will have Victorian period and Wildean pre-Raphaelite suggestion.

A favoured location is the Silverdale area of Lancashire an area Arthur Ransome would have loved and an area of great beauty, also a bird lover’s paradise.

Filming will take place in the early morning.

Refreshments will be available.

As Mr Rupert Everett’s film The Happy Prince is about to be released it would be wonderful to have a film for you which evokes the true magic of Wilde the poet.

For now, hopefully the slides above will evoke the true magic of an English garden in summer and the beauty of wild Lancashire.

Enjoy.

Oscar and Arthur Detective Masters!

Location: Chester Cathedral June 2017 Mr Brandreth very kindly autographed the Reading Gaol and Candlelight Murders.

The President of The Oscar Wilde Society Mr Gyles Brandreth has surely made Wilde in the twenty-first century with his Oscar Wilde murder mystery books.

In these books Wilde turns amateur sleuth and solves crimes along with Conan Doyle!

Entertaining, witty and eminently readable, they capture the essence of Wilde.

Mr Brandreth will be at The Platform in Morecambe in July this year.
