Theatre News (UK): Derren Brown brings SHOWMAN to the West End

 

Derren Brown brings SHOWMAN to the West End

★★★★★ I’ve never watched anything so captivating, mesmerising and utterly flabbergasting in my life. He truly is The Greatest Showman

(Liverpool Echo)

The multi award-winning acknowledged master of psychological illusion returns to the West End stage for the first time in four years. SHOWMAN, his new, interactive one-man show, has received the most off-the-chart reviews of his career.

Fresh off a universally acclaimed 155-date national tour, which ends in October, Brown brings his unique brand of uplifting magical genius to the Apollo Theatre, Shaftesbury Ave, from December 9 2022 – March 19 2023. There will be seven performances each week, including Sundays.

SHOWMAN is Brown’s most personal show to date. The contents remain undisclosed but he has revealed: “The heart of the show is about remembering what’s important. Particularly how the very things that we find most isolating in life – our fears and difficulties – actually connect us, in that they’re the very things we share. Framed, of course, with some extraordinary demonstrations of my particular voodoo”.

Trailer: https://youtu.be/_DFtBACPspM

Tickets go on sale from Friday 24 June and there is also an opportunity to sign up for priority booking at www.derrenbrown.co.uk

Press night is Thursday December 15, 7pm.

Derren’s live shows have won him two prestigious Olivier Awards – for Something Wicked This Way Comes (2006) and Svengali (2012) and he has won and been nominated for more Olivier awards than any other one-man show in theatre history. He has played to sold-out houses across the country every year since 2003 to over 1.6M people. Previous shows, Infamous, (2013, 2014), Miracle (2015, 2016) and Underground (2017, 2018) have also enjoyed critically acclaimed seasons in London’s West End. In 2017 he made an award-winning US stage debut at the Atlantic Theater in New York with Derren Brown: Secret, which won the 2018 Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience and transferred to Broadway, enjoying a packed season at the Cort Theatre, until Jan 2020. It is currently Broadway’s longest running one man magic show. Showman, Derren’s biggest tour in 20 years, began in 2021 and continues until Oct 29 2022.

Ahead of his one-man show, Nicholas Vince reveals what’s behind the masks

Actor and writer Nicholas Vince describes his monstrous journey from bullied childhood to celluloid success.

Ahead of his one-man show, I AM MONSTERS! at The Pleasance, actor and writer Nicholas Vince reveals what's behind the masks

You’re best known for your portrayal of the Chatterer Cenobite in Clive Barker’s Hellraiser and Kinski in Barker’s Nightbreed. What is it you remember most about playing these iconic monsters?

The many talented people and long processes involved in creating the makeups. I may have brought life to the characters, but it was the makeup artists (Nigel Booth on Chatterer, Cliff Wallace on Chatterer II and Neil Gorton on Kinski) who sculpted and painted them based on Clive Barker’s designs. Before we reached filming those guys spent weeks creating the masks.

Most of all I remember the laughter. OK, wearing Chatterer was extremely restrictive in terms of seeing, hearing and speaking, and Kinski was early starts and 5 hours in makeup, but there was a great atmosphere on all the films. In fact on Hellraiser I was threatened with death by the sound engineer as my laughter in the dressing room was ruining takes on the nearby set.

How did you first become attracted to monsters?

Aged eight I borrowed a copy of The Golden Treasury of Myths and Legends by Anne Terry White from the local library. It contained stories from Greek, Norse, Celtic, French and Persian myths and legends. I must have run out of time to read all the stories as I clearly remember the Greek and Norse stories, and less so the ones at the back of the book. Obviously, the stories are written about the heroes, but they interested me far less than the Minotaur, Medusa and Sphinx.

You were born undershot and had to have major surgery aged nineteen. Can you describe the experience for us?

Basically, I was born with a smaller than usual top jaw meaning my upper teeth closed behind my lower, rather than the other way round, which is normal. The surgery lasted nine hours, during which they detached the upper jaw and using pieces of bones from my hips as wedges moved it forward. It was a pretty trying experience as I was in intensive care for two days afterwards, during which I nearly died. Following that I had my jaws wired together for six weeks. Mum served my portion of family meals on a plate to check I was getting enough and then liquidised it. I remember fish and chips required a lot of salad cream so that I could suck it through a straw.

Ahead of his one-man show, I AM MONSTERS! at The Pleasance, actor and writer Nicholas Vince reveals what's behind the masks

In your one-man show you talk about being gay but remaining closeted during the 70s. How did this impact on your relationships?

Once I’d moved away from home, I was able to come out to close friends, but not my parents. That didn’t happen until my mid-thirties. I do regret that as they were very loving and when a relationship fell apart with a boyfriend, it meant I missed out on their support. And not being completely out, by which I mean just keeping quiet about relationships, being an apparent loner, it complicated my friendships with good looking straight men, as I was afraid if they realised I fancied them they’d either cut me off or beat me up.

How did you meet Clive Barker?

At a party in Crouch End. We got chatting and he invited me to model for him as he was preparing paintings for the covers of the UK hardback versions of his six volume collection, The Books of Blood. So my face, and other parts of me, appear on the covers of most of the books in that edition.

Is it true that the design of the Chatterer was partly inspired by your own facial reconstruction?

Yes. I’d told Clive about a documentary I’d seen about facial reconstructive surgery where they’d obviously used a similar technique to my surgeons, as the only cut was between my upper lip and gum and they’d peeled the face back so they could detach the upper jaw. The flesh of the face was held in place by clamps, much like Chatterer.

Ahead of his one-man show, I AM MONSTERS! at The Pleasance, actor and writer Nicholas Vince reveals what's behind the masksTo play the Chatterer, you had to wear a mask and makeup that were extremely restrictive. How challenging was that?

I could only see a portion of the floor through a small hole below my left eye; had false teeth in so speech was like having my hands shoved in my mouth and muffled hearing due to the foam latex mask. So, I had a minder with me at all times leading me onto set holding hands, like a toddler and then they had to relay instructions from behind camera by shouting through the mask. The costume was very tight fitting as they’d taken a life cast of my torso so it could be made as close fitting as possible. I could only lift my arms to shoulder height.

Someone recently complimented me on my ‘meticulous performance’ and I realised that’s one of the strengths of Chatterer. We could only do short sequences with me as I had to learn my moves quickly and I worked hard to replicate them accurately, but that stillness and precision give him a great deal of power.

And the make-up for Kinski in Nightbreed was reported to take two people five hours to apply. Is that true?

Yes, up at 3am for a car from Streatham to Pinewood for 4am and the makeup chair for five hours. But I just had to sit still for that time. The two guys who applied it, Neil and Mark, were on their feet all that time making sure the pieces were properly applied and you couldn’t see the edges. I wasn’t allowed to fall asleep, so they had a VHS player and I remember watching Steve Martin and John Candy in ‘Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Which was frustrating as I also wasn’t allowed to laugh either!

You left acting after Nightbreed to concentrate on writing comics for Marvel and collections of short horror stories. What is it about the writing process you find so alluring?

It’s the fun of telling stories and talking to readers. In many ways it’s more challenging than acting as there you have a script and you’re putting the flesh on the bones, but with writing you’re faced with the sometimes terrifying wastes of a blank page. I remember Peter Atkins, the screenwriter of Hellbound: Hellraiser II, telling me when I first started writing, “Nick, there will be a time, at least once a day, when you’ll wonder why you ever thought you can write.”

He was right and the only way I’ve found to get through it is to do research, which as a writer said at literary event the other day can be, “Research, bordering on procrastination.” And then it’s just a question of writing something, anything, as you can polish it.

And I guess the allure for me, is that I get to get some of the really weird stuff in my head out and into the world.

In recent years you’ve returned to acting in UK independent horror films, such as Hollower (dir. MJ Dixon), Book of Monsters (dir. Stewart Sparke), Borley Rectory (dir. Ashley Thorpe) and For We Are Many (Lawrie Brewster and Paddy Murphy). Do you have further roles in the pipeline?

There are a couple, but I’m waiting for them to be released before I can talk about them. I did do an interview for the extras on the Arrow Video release of the theatrical and director’s cuts of Nightbreed, which they’re releasing on 28th October, and which is available for pre-order. I believe this is the first UK release of the film since the VHS version back in the 1990’s.

Do you have any other plans for I AM MONSTERS! after its premiere at the London Horror Festival?

People have been very interested in the show and I’ve had enquiries about taking it to Liverpool and Las Vegas. Both of which would be really cool, as Liverpool is Clive’s home town and I’ve never been to Vegas.

Nicholas will be opening the London Horror Festival 2019 with his one-man show I AM MONSTERS!, from 8th to 10th October (7pm) at the Pleasance Theatre.

Nicholas Vince to explore his ‘monstrous world’ in new one-man show at Pleasance Theatre, London.

Nicholas Vince to explore his ‘monstrous world’ in new one-man show at Pleasance Theatre, London.

Genre legend Nicholas Vince, famed for his roles as ‘Chatterer’ in Clive Barker’s HELLRAISER and ‘Kinski’ in NIGHTBREED, is to open the London Horror Festival with his one-man show, I AM MONSTERS! He will be performing for three nights only – from 8th October to 10th October, 7pm. Tickets are now on sale. https://www.pleasance.co.uk

I AM MONSTERS! charts Vince’s life from a monster-obsessed child, born undershot, through to an out of the closet actor, propelled to fame by Clive Barker’s ground-breaking films. He speaks openly about being a bullied outsider, the life-threatening operation to reconstruct his face, his battle with being gay in Thatcher’s Britain and reveals what it takes to be a monster. He will also be reading extracts from his favourite horror classics.

Nicholas VinceVince said today: “This show is about my fascination with the monsters I first read as an 8 year-old in The Golden Treasury of Myths and Legends, and later, the classic horror novels and films, and how they helped me deal with being bullied at school, through my facial reconstructive surgery and a near death experience to the fun we had making the films.

I’ve told the stories about the challenges of makeup on Clive Barker’s Hellraiser, Hellbound and Nightbreed over the years, but I hadn’t put them in the context of the times we filmed in and been able to celebrate the profound effect they’ve had on me and so many people.”

Clive Barker added: “Nicholas Vince has played monsters both bizarre and blood-thirsty, and has brought both his life-long passion for horror and his immense skills as an actor to every role. Now, in this extraordinary confessional, we meet the man behind the terrifying masks, as he traces his journey from a troubled youth to a man who now embodies creatures known world-wide, Nick charms and chills us, mingling the witty and the nightmarish, So go see the man who laughs behind the mask. He has such tales to tell.”

Derren Brown announces UNDERGROUND tour dates for 2018

Derren Brown: UNDERGROUNDDerren Brown, the multi-award winning master of mind control and psychological illusion, is bringing his latest sensational show UNDERGROUND back to UK and Irish theatres in 2018.

From April 3 to July 5 2018, Brown will be enthralling audiences with his 2017 ‘Best of’ hit show, UNDERGROUND in which he fuses together a collection of his favourite work to create a jaw-dropping experience of magical genius.

Tickets on sale from today*

Derren revealed : “Underground was originally written for audiences in other countries who hadn’t seen me before. It meant finessing and re-visiting past pieces and seeing them with fresh eyes.

I sat down with my two co-writers and directors and we thought – ‘What would make the best possible Derren Brown show?’ None of us were sure what the UK would make of it, but the resulting show felt so good, and met with such a great response when warming it up in London, that we decided to tour it here too. The reviews have been astonishing, and people who’ve seen all the shows have said they love being surprised by them again, and those who don’t know me so well are getting to see the best material for the first time. It’s a huge, huge joy to perform”.

This is the second leg of the UNDERGROUND tour, direct from the West End production at the Playhouse Theatre, which ran for thirty-five packed out performances in September & October 2017. The sixty-three day tour will embrace Dublin and Cork and include Belfast, Cardiff, Glasgow, Liverpool, Norwich Hull, Canterbury, Nottingham, Eastbourne, Bournemouth, Dartford and Southend.

Derren’s live shows have won him two prestigious Olivier Awards – Something Wicked This Way Comes (2006) and Svengali (2012). He has played to sold-out houses across the country every year since 2003 to over 1.5M people. His previous UK shows, Infamous, (2013, 2014), Miracle (2015, 2016) have toured to great success, enjoying critically acclaimed seasons in the West End of London. He recently made an enthusiastically embraced stage debut at the Atlantic Theater in New York with Derren Brown: Secret.

DERREN BROWN: UNDERGROUND is presented by Michael Vine, Andrew O’Connor, Derren Brown and Paul Sandler for Vaudeville Productions Ltd. and David Binder. It is directed by Andrew O’Connor & Andy Nyman and written by Andy Nyman, Andrew O’Connor & Derren Brown. Setting by Will Bowen, Lighting Design by Charlie Morgan Jones.
