Oliver!

Proving that established companies and lighting designers also work outside mainstream productions, LD Andy Webb used Robe moving lights at the core of his design for a recent production of Oliver, staged at Kingshill School Sports Hall in Cirencester, Gloucestershire. The end-of year show, directed by Russell Blackaller, featured a cast of 70 pupils aged 11 to 15 and ran for three sold-out performances. Staged in a 270-degree format, almost in the round, Webb - who is also technical manager at the nearby Sundial Theatre - felt that using moving lights was the only way to maximize the space. He chose a moving light rig for two reasons - one was to give him the imaginative scope and depth needed, and secondly, the power supply was limited to four single phase 63A supplies. The lights were rigged off a 12m x 12m box truss flown six metres above the stage and consisted of eight Robe ColorWash 575 ATs, four ColorSpot 575 ATs and four... continue reading

Disney's High School Musical

Disney High School Musical Rocks with Robe Designer Andy Webb utilised 39 Robe moving lights and 13 Anolis ArcLine Optic LED strips for the recent Tigz Productions show, “Disney High School Musical”, staged at the Sundial Theatre in Cirencester. All 15 performances of the action-packed musical sold out, generating record box office sales for the theatre, and receiving rave reviews. It was also the largest lighting rig that has ever been installed there. Webb designed both set and lighting for the show which was directed by Adrian Ross-Jones. “Creating both these visual elements from the outset enables you to produce a really coherent and fluid look and feel for the performance – it’s definitely the way I like to work,” he says. He has used Robe for many previous designs and likes the brand for its range, brightness and reliability. The main design concept for this show came from the need to create a myriad of different locations with... continue reading

Comedy of Errors

Robe in Shakespeare Classic Lighting and scenic designer Andy Webb used 24 Robe moving lights and 22 Anolis LED fixtures on a recent Sundial Theatre Cirencester production of Shakespeare’s classic, “Comedy of Errors”. The convoluted, epic tale of mistaken identity, chaos, confusion, claim and counter-clam was staged by the Sundial Youth Theatre, featuring a cast of 25. Originally planned as an outdoor show, with the UK weather being even more unpredictable than usual this summer, they decided to go under cover! Webb worked closely with director Adam Fotheringham on evolving the aesthetics. They wanted a new look for the work, so Webb developed a cartoon-edge for the piece, with strong, vivid back-light, enhancing the angular shape of the set. He also wanted to be able to change into primary colours at any time and to create a mix between a warm Mediterranean village and a simple naturalistic floor/stage area. A major element of the set... continue reading

We Will Rock You

Sundial Rocks with Robes Tigz Productions staged a hugely technically ambitious production of Queen’s blockbuster musical ‘We Will Rock You’ at the Sundial Theatre in Cirencester, featuring 37 Robe moving heads and Anolis LED lighting in a show stopping design. Tigz’ Andy Webb directed and produced the work as well as creating the lighting design. His aim was to make it “every bit as memorable as any West End production” in the context of the space and place. Webb is also technical manager of the Sundial Theatre, and they have invested in Robe moving lights as part of the house rig (Wash 250 XTs and MS Zoom 250 XTs) which have been a great asset and are used in all types of student productions. For ‘We Will Rock You’, he boosted the Robe content of the rig by hiring in additional moving lights from Bath-based rental house, Enlightened. The ‘We Will Rock You’ story started back in September 2006, when Queen Theatrical licensed the... continue reading

The Odyssey

ROBES DRESS HOMER'S ODYSSEY Robe moving lights played a key role at the Sundial Theatre at Cirencester College for an ambitious production of Homer’s Odyssey which boasted an innovative lighting and set design by Sundial’s technical manager, Andy Webb. The performance was the end of year production by the Sundial Youth Theatre featuring a cast of about 28 students attending various courses at the college. It was directed by Adam Fotheringham. The production saw the Sundial configured into a minimalist stage design with a floor level thrust that came out from the centre of the main stage with seats encircling it at 270 degrees, creating an intimate performance area. The theatre’s permanent stage, a set of steps built onto the front of it and the floor level thrust area were all painted cream, the clearly defined shapes integrated with a set of multi-purpose triangular shaped screens onstage and 10 ‘S’ shaped screens rigged in the... continue reading
Louise Stickland, The Stage 24/08/2006
The epic Poem,probably by Homer, recounts the adventure of Odysseus on his way home to Ithaca after the Trojan War. The Sundial Theatre was unrecognisable from my last visit! Much imagination had changed the auditorium into a flexible arena with raised platform leading down on to a circular acting space. Above us large curling white cut-outs hung from the ceiling as an ever-present reminder of the turbulent sea. We sat in a semi-circle in close proximity to the action, for much of the time enveloped in smoke effects.............Directors Adam Fotheringham and Sarah Butcher achieved wonders in a short rehearsal period available and their work was complemented by Andy Webb's ingenious design........All in all this was a production to remember.
Donald Hollins, Gloucestershire Echo 17/07/2006

Alas Poor Yorick

‘Alas Poor Yorick takes the essence of Shakespeare’s poetic and philosophical prose and weaves within it a thread of contemporary humour, playing off passionate soliloquise with witty asides in a highly original style. A strong cast moved effortlessly between a multiplicity of roles…tight direction, atmospheric lighting and sumptuous costume added to this powerful piece of theatre…’
Gloucestershire Echo 14/09/2004
