We were pleased to read Elisha Pearce’s insightful review of British Touring Shakespeare’s Frankenstein, published on The Voice platform.
It is rewarding to see how our historic setting complements such creative productions, and Elisha’s piece skilfully depicted both the performance and its innovative approach.
We extend our thanks to Elisha and The Voice team for experiencing and reflecting on the performance.
Their thoughtful review noted the innovative gender-swapping of the lead character and the strong performances, particularly from Kate Andrews as Victoria Frankenstein and Alice Gold for her comedic timing. It was good to see such a perceptive analysis of a classic.
About The Voice: A Key Initiative for Young Creatives
For those unfamiliar with The Voice, it functions as a comprehensive platform and initiative dedicated to supporting young creatives. The Voice offers a forum for individuals aged 16-30 to explore and present their perspectives on arts, culture, politics, and technology through various mediums, including writing, videos, photographs, and podcasts.
It serves as a valuable training ground for aspiring young journalists and commentators, providing practical experience and a route into media careers. This commitment to supporting emerging talent, especially from diverse and under-represented backgrounds, is highly commendable.
Soulton Hall’s Support for Youth Voice
We are pleased to note that this initiative is supported by Vibrant Shropshire, a cultural compact working to integrate arts and culture within our community. At Soulton Hall, we believe the arts inspire, educate, and provoke thought, and we are committed to supporting new talent. We welcome opportunities for collaboration and providing access to our venue for such projects. Partnerships with organisations like The Voice are important for developing the next generation of cultural critics and artists.
Thank you once again to The Voice and Elisha Pearce for their review. We anticipate seeing more of the promising work from young creatives across Shropshire.
