Just five months out of drama school and we are proud to announce that Michael has got himself a part at the National Theatre for this spring season.

After a series of auditions involving Russian and very long sentences he has recently been offered the part of Andrushya (a tank officer) in Burnt By The Sun. The play - to be performed on the Lyttelton stage - follows a young tank officer as he struggles to... Okay, not really. It's about the personal struggle of revolutionary hero Colonel Kotov, in a country about to be overcome by the dark shadow of Stalin's purges. A good rib-tickling comedy we expect then...

You can read more - and book a ticket - here. You can also see Michael's name in the cast list - you know... in case you thought we were making it up...

We wish Michael the best of luck with the rehearsals - which luckily leave enough time for us to keep working on 'Adventure Time' - and our new show for this year - more details soon.

(Our very own) Michael Grady-Hall will be appearing in the staged reading of Nicky Silvers dark comedy, as part of StoneCrabs' New Directors Play Readings 2008. It's this Thursday (the 11th December) at the Albany Theatre in Deptford - sorry about the short notice.

He will be playing Bishop (the lead) in a piece called Fat Men In Skirts (or How I Ate My Father And Slept With My Mother) by Nicky Silver, dir. Victor Essess. Anyone wondering how that state of affairs is reached (such as myself) should get along - I believe it is pretty cheap but Michael doesn't know for sure. We'll see you there!

Well, the very day after Auditorium ends, Michael starts his run of Romeo and Juliet in London.

After a week of previews tonight is the Press Night for Theatre of Memory's production. (And, in case you wondered, that's why Michael wasn't in Edinburgh).

If you haven't quite had your fix of Three's Company, pop along to Middle Temple Hall to see one third of them in Shakespeare's greatest love story.

All the best of luck to Michael and the rest of the cast!

Romeo and Juliet ends on 13th September.

Congratulations to Michael who was today announced as the winner of the 'Best Direction' award at this years Lost Theatre: One Act Theatre Festival. He won for his direction on the Three's Company and fragile theatre co-production of A Woman of Uncertain Age. This si the second solo award for Michael - and the seventh for Three's Company.

The play, written by Maggie Dealey, will be performed again at the Tristan Bates Theatre on May 20th where he will collect his award from Alison Steadman.

In other news, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Yaz who reaches the grand age of 21 today! I was going to say "congratulations" but all he really did was stay alive... Though considering his accident-prone nature, maybe that does deserve congratulations...?
