EPIC RERUNS
When Richard Holden organised the first series of performances of The Circle Game at the Gluepot this year it was an entertainment triumph. B^tt
Not because what it contained was startlingly original or perfectly executed, but because Holden had managed to draw 45 singers, dancers, .musicians and actors together into a show that not only held together but held the attention of a pub jam-packed with punters more used to hearing pub bands or even watching TV on a weekend night.
Now, by popular demand, the Circle Game is back at the Gluepot from October 6-8 with quite a
few changes. It remains a loose history of rock'n'roll but this time round is narrated by a hellfire 'n' brimstone preacher played by poet Bruce Bissett, who also collaborated with Holden on script additions. Holden has also made the show easier to manage, with a mere 25-30 people treading the stage throughout its length.
If this new production fares as well as the last one, there is a possibility of it touring, but first there will have to be a strict look at economics. RB
