We had a rehearsed reading of Michael’s play ‘A handful of Mustard Seed’ this Friday last; 13th September 2019. It was organised by Katherine Kotz at the prestigious Park Theatre in Finsbury Park, London. It was a huge success, attended by the public and many industry people and Michael would of loved it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had an incredibly talented cast; Sophie Thompson as Shelley, Debbie Chazen as Linda, Toby Murray as Toby and Mark Fleischmann as Ben.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some photos of the performance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Floored today by the late #MichaelRoss A HANDFUL OF MUSTARD SEEDS at @ParkTheatre – roared with laughter and wept by the end. Great cast one and all, lead by a brilliant Sophie Thompson, directed by @katherinekotz & @samphillips1984. Hope this funny, moving play gets a real run.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Really enjoyed it, Katherine, beautifully acted and directed and great writing. Incredible how much you all managed to find in Michael’s text in such a short rehearsal time. I’m sure he would have been very proud of you all.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

@ParkTheatre please keep doing rehearsed readings.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full house, brilliant celebration of Michael’s work @ParkTheatre Congrats to @katherinekotz  @samphillips1984 & Michael’s lovely family for putting this on. The cast brought every word to life. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And lastly some candid backstage photos:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
