Tezza's Theatre Place

Scott Le Crass As the pandemic spread, and the country went into lockdown, then out, then back, then out then back, creatives everywhere had to adjust their lives and their modus operandi in order to bring theatre to the people and keep their art alive. One of those who has worked very well in this way is Director  Scott Le Crass , and I recently caught up with him for a chat about theatre in the age of COVID. TE: Welcome along Scott. I’ve just been looking back and the last time we talked was in June 2019 just after the opening of your show  Country Music  at the Omnibus Theatre. That was a successful run, wasn’t it?

There is so much that happens in a university that it is really time for a new musical about life for a new student.  Luckily, writer Adam Wollerton, has taken up the challenge and his new show  LoveStuck  opens at the Cockpit Theatre in July.  Recently I managed to catch up with Adam and find out more about the show Terry: So, Adam, tell me a little bit about LoveStuck Adam:  LoveStuck is a new musical written by myself, with lyrics by PJ Neilsen and music by PJ Nielsen and Jake Few. It’s a musical truly about finding your LoveStuck – that one thing you can’t live without, however big or small this might be. Everyone has a Love...
