Stoke is a Midlands postcode with a North West journey time. Fifty minutes on the West Coast Main Line puts the studio closer than a lot of Greater Manchester is in traffic.
The New Vic was Britain's first purpose-built theatre-in-the-round and still trains actors to work with an audience on every side — a discipline that translates surprisingly well to camera, because there is nowhere to hide in either.
Frequent direct services and under an hour each way. This is one of the easiest trips in the Midlands and there is no reason to treat it as a whole-day undertaking.
Bring two or three prepared pieces and a couple of wardrobe options in plain mid-tones. Monologue showreels covers how a session runs, sessions & pricing lists what is included, and you can see the standard on the reels gallery before you book. To get dates, get in touch or call 0161 706 3220.
Yes — it sits on the West Coast Main Line, so the fast services make short work of it. Most Stoke actors are surprised by how close the studio actually is.
Better than proscenium work, usually. In-the-round performance has nowhere to cheat, and that honesty is exactly what a lens rewards.
Book a session or just ask us a question — we're always happy to talk through your reel.
