Description
Selected pages from programme for the Touring Consortium production of Kes by Barry Hines.
What's the story?
Based on Barry Hines’ 1968 novel A Kestrel for a Knave, Kes was adapted for the stage by Lawrence Till and was directed by Nikolai Foster.
The production starred Mike Burnside, Daniel Casey, Stefan Butler, David Crellin, Katherine Dow Blyton, Oliver Farnworth, Dominic Gately, Peter McGovern, Sue Vincent and Oliver Watton.
The Touring Consortium was established in the late 1990s by producers Jenny King and Matthew Gale in a collaborative partnership with eight regional touring theatres, including the Theatre Royal Nottingham.
The Consortium was established to tour high-quality drama to large-scale regional venues, with particular emphasis on attracting new and younger audiences to each venue, alongside a comprehensive programme of learning and education work, such as workshops and talks.
Due to funding pressures, the Consortium was unable to continue and ceased in autumn 2018.
