Andrew Bruce, Autograph's founder and Chairman has co-designed Alice in Wonderland with Autograph's Matt McKenzie. This beautiful family production will transfer to Stratford just in time for Christmas. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, another RSC musical production, is being revived this winter at London's Sadlers Wells and is designed by Terry Jardine, Autograph's managing director.
While these two musical productions benefit from Autograph's design and equipment rental supply, four other RSC plays are currently on tour with an Autograph sound and communications system. These include - King John, Hamlet, Twelfth Night and Julius Caesar. British theatre touring shows are keeping Autograph personnel travelling the length and breadth of the country of late, with three additional productions now on the road - Sunset Boulevard for the Really Useful Group, Beauty and The Beast for Disney Theatrical and Miss Saigon for Cameron Mackintosh. Miss Saigon opens at the Palace Theatre Manchester, on 22 November and will remain there for six months before embarking on a nationwide tour. With the original sound design by Andrew Bruce, the touring production now has Andrew's associate designer, Nick Lidster, at the helm. Lidster has a strong alliance with Miss Saigon, being the original sound operator on the first ever production, which premiered just over 12 years ago at London's Theatre Royal Drury Lane.
