Few writers demand the intensity of engagement from actors that Arthur Miller does. His stage directions are as poetic and demanding as the text itself...

Theatre director Sarah Esdaile leads a workshop on maintaining high stakes and doing justice to the emotional welly required by these great texts.

Please choose an appropriately explosive scene from either Salesman, A View from the Bridge, All My Sons or The Crucible and bring a copy of your chosen text.

Sarah's most recent directing credits include BFG for the Octagon Bolton, Talking Heads for Theatre Royal Bath and Tour, Single Spies at The Rose and PAXO - a one man show with Jeremy Paxman at The Pleasance, Edinburgh.

Future work includes the premiere production of Jonathan Maitland’s DENY DENT DENY at the Park Theatre.

Other credits include Cat on a Hot Tin Roof for the West Yorkshire Playhouse, Sleeping Beauty for Birmingham Rep and The Lady in the Van (Hull Truck and Number One Tour).
