LOL
LOL premiered to a packed and
lovely house as part of The
Comedy Project season at the Soho
Theatre in March 2009 and subsequently at the Tabard,
at the Rosemary Branch, in
the Henley Festival and at the Pleasance
Islington.
|
LOL won two Gold Standard
awards at Henley 2009: one for Performance and one of
only two for New Writing.
|
LOL returned to the Rosemary
Branch in October as part of a very successful showcase
of new writing.
The Reading Post
"very funny and perceptive - skilled writing and performance - she hits
the buttons constantly"
The Henley Standard
"Brave - a study of broken dreams
- all three characters are wholly recognisable and the whole
piece cleverly linked by real or imagined computer dating ads."
Clive Evans (Producer: Nice
Pictures) on LOL:
"Many congratulations!!!! You
must/should feel very proud at the reception you got tonight.
LOVELY. Very funny, moving and perfect. Excellent stuff and
reminded me of La Ronde.
Could LOL stand for LUST ON LINE?"
remotegoat (Maddy
Ryle):
"Short, funny, bitter
and sweet... laugh-out-loud funny."
Further audience comments on LOL:
- "Brilliant"
- "A masterpiece"
- "Remarkable"
- "A tour de force - Rosalind Adler at her best"
- "LOL will have you gripped
from start to finish - a truly original and brilliant piece of
work"
- "One of the best shows I've seen."
I have also received excellent feedback on my other shows premiered
in The Comedy Project: Drastic
Plastic (2008), Bruised Blueberries (2007)
(now retitled Jubilate!) and Powercut (2006).
NOT QUITE READY
My short play Not Quite Ready was one of the three winning plays
at the LOST Theatre 5-minute Festival. The Festival was
held over three evenings in December 2009.
FALLING |
I was honoured with a stellar cast
for the showcase reading
of
Falling, my new play for television,
at St
Paul's, Covent Garden on 26th February: Maureen
Beattie, Ruthie Henshall,
Vince Leigh, Owen
Teale, Dorothea Phillips, Charlie
Capel and Robert Blackwood,
with Shola Adewusi, Carole
Carpenter and Edmund Dehn.
The reading was directed by Jeremy Bond. |

| BETWEEN FRIENDS |
I recently appeared as Laura in Between
Friends, a new play written by Carolyn
Pertwee and me. We played to packed houses and
excellent audience response.
We hope Between Friends will
now enjoy further success elsewhere. Watch this space.
Gene David Kirk (Theatre
503) on Between Friends...
"A visceral piece of writing with palpable tensions underscoring
a seemingly domestic drama. Secrets and lies unravel in this
world of high stakes and the need for love." |
Cast (l to r)
Rosalind Adler - Laura
Catherine Shipton - Helen
Edmund Dehn - Paul
Gyles Brandreth on Between
Friends...
"Funny, touching, beautifully observed - . a constantly
surprising emotional roller-coaster that has you hooked from
start to finish." |
JUBILATE!
Everyone knows someone who thinks they know best. In Jubilate! that
someone is Anna, vicar's wife and
radio personality. She has her own life sorted out - apparently
- and now thinks it'd be a good idea to sort out everyone else's......oh
dear.
|
Barry Humphries on Jubilate!...
"I'm so glad I came - I was so impressed by your acting
and your writing"
and Libby Purves...
"This is marvellous - a real miniature drama crackling
with comedy both dark and light"

SEXOLOGICALLY SPEAKING
I was in two of a quartet of Carolyn Pertwee's
excellent short plays from 15th to 18th November in a sell-out
run at the O.S.O. in Barnes.
(OSO Box Office: 020 8876 9885) The evening was called Sexologically
Speaking. I appeared in Double
Image and On Thin Ice. The
plays are sexy, funny and fab.
