Christopher Marlowe

Dido, Queen of Carthage

December 2, 2022May 15, 2013 by Josey De Rossi

There’s something quite brilliant about the way Ricky Duke deals with the realisation of poetic language in Dido Queen of Carthage. For me, he seems to work with the metaphors that characterise mythical places and peoples with a boldness of approach that is quite breathtaking.

Why Fringe Theatre Is Vital?

The reviews on this site show my work as a theatre historian. Besides my doctoral research, I large part of my research occurred when I worked as a theatre reviewer for the London Fringe Theatre between 2011 to 2013. I began my research in theatre entrepreneurship to understand how my students could successfully work in the creative industries. From this viewpoint, I discovered that London's 'best-kept secret' was its 550+ fringe theatre companies and organisations that fed the imagination and the economic prosperity of its artists. Even in the most difficult times, I believe its worth exploring the implications of looking at the inventiveness of the companies and schools who continue to create work 'on the fringe' of their mainstream cultures.
