Folio, partnered with ETT (English Touring Theatre) and Pound Arts, announces a new Digital UK tour for Alys Metcalf's REEL LIFE beginning at The Pound Arts Centre in Corsham, before touring to Penzance, Crowcombe, Beverley, Dawlish and Burnham-on-Sea, with further dates for the rest of the year to be announced.
All new photos have been released for press night of the world premiere of Alys Metcalf’s Leopards, the opening Rose Original production in Artistic Director Christopher Haydon’s inaugural season at Rose Theatre, starring Saffron Coomber and Martin Marquez. Guests in attendance included Deborah Frances-White & Niamh Cusack.
Hot button topics keep coming, but the drama gets lost a little in Alys Metcalf's new play
Sex, power and consent – can we ever atone for the sins of our past? When Niala arranges to meet celebrated charity leader Ben in the bar of a London hotel for career advice, their evening unfolds into something far less professional.
Martin Marquez has an extensive repertoire of stage work with the Donmar Warehouse, The National and Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. He most recently starred as Nathan Detroit in Sheffield Theatre's production of Guys & Dolls and in Josie Rourke's revival of Sweet Charity at the Donmar playing Vittorio Vidal.
In Leopards, by rising playwright Alys Metcalf, Niala will be played by Saffron Coomber. Niamh Cusack will be reuniting with director Melly Still in the world premiere of Colin Teevan’s The Seven Pomegranate Seeds.
Under Haydon's stewardship, the Rose's own work will be the priority, as demonstrated by the five Rose Originals in this upcoming season, but there will always be room on the theatre's stage for the country's leading touring shows as well. This season's Rose Originals are a blend of new plays tackling significant contemporary issues and well-known titles reinvented for today.

In this comic two-hander from theatre and TV writer and performer Roxy Dunn (Edinburgh 2016 sell-out show In Tents and Purposes), one couple tries to overcome Peter Pan syndrome as Dunn pits eternal youth and possibility against happiness in the here and now. Paralysed by indecision, 35 year old Tim's happy to stick to the 'nice solid non-moving ground' rather than move forward in his relationship with his 25 year old girlfriend, Judith. Frustrated by his lack of commitment, she delivers an ultimatum - Tim must choose between growing up or breaking up.
