To say 2020 has been a tough year for the arts is an understatement. Here at North West End UK we have been resolute in our desire to maintain our support for this amazing industry.
We have continued to review throughout the pandemic covering online productions before returning, briefly to theatres when the relevant tier restrictions allowed.
We also launched North West End UK LIVE in the Summer to promote the talent we have within our own team. Producing monologues written and performed by our reviewers. The most popular has been the Home Schooling series featuring our very own Yazmin Walker.
To celebrate this very different Christmas period Mark Davoren has written an alternative Christmas message and we were thrilled that the Altrincham Garrick Playhouse allowed us to film on their stage earlier this week. Directed by the Artistic Director of the Playhouse Joseph Meighan all that remains is for you to sit back and enjoy.
On behalf of everybody at North West End UK we’d like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a peaceful New Year. 2021, we hope will bring a sense of normality and the reopening of arts venues across the country, and indeed the world.
