Demolition expert offers script guidance for new theatre production
However, a new play at London’s Almeida Theatre will soon set the record straight. The central character of Parlour Song by Jez Butterworth, is a demolition expert; and, for a little added authenticity, the actor playing the role has consulted with a real-life demolition expert.
John Woodward of C&D Consultancy was at the Almeida Theatre today, consulting on industry terminology and suggesting last-minute changes to the script before the curtain goes up on 19 March.
“We loved having John in rehearsals this morning,” says stage manager Maddy Grant. “He was really helpful, and a fantastic guy.”
