Laurence Olivier Bursary

The Laurence Olivier Bursary was established by the Society of London Theatre in 1987 to commemorate Lord Olivier’s 80th Birthday. 

The Bursary aims to help students at the end of their second year who have potential talent, but are facing financial difficulties in completing their studies. The demands of third year course work make part-time jobs almost impossible and it is at this stage that students who have managed to finance two-thirds of their course are in particular need of financial help.

Each summer the Society invites the principals of the drama schools with three year drama courses accredited by the National Council for Drama Training to submit two nominations for the Bursary. The nominees should be reaching the end of their second year and fulfil the dual criteria of financial need and potential talent. About 40 students are entered each June and audition before a panel of Society members. The candidates are also interviewed by the judging panel.

The Society gives four bursaries worth £7,500 each and a number of other organisations give their own bursaries in conjunction with the Society’s scheme:

The Behrens Bursary - introduced in 1999 by the E M Behrens Charitable Trust: one bursary of £5,000 and a further sum of £4,800 to be allocated at the judges’ discretion.
The Price Hazeldine Bursary - £1,800 given each year.
The Personal Managers Association Bursary - £1,800 given in alternate years.
The Mary Selway Bursary - £2,000 given in alternate years.

Previous Bursary beneficiaries include Michael Sheen, Ewan McGregor and Paterson Joseph.

Fwd: ThickSkin's Blackout at the Underbelly, Edinburgh


Dear Friends,

ThickSkin is thrilled to announce the details of its debut production, Blackout by Davey Anderson. Flyer attached.

Blackout is a 45 minute smack in the face inspired by the stories of a young offender from Glasgow. Directed by Neil Bettles (Creative Associate, Frantic Assembly), Blackout will showcase a cast of emerging Scottish talent and promises to be a must see for this year's Fringe. ThickSkin's Blackout brings this play to life with a mix of striking physicality and Anderson's hard-hitting text.



We hope you will be able to join us in Edinburgh.


Click here to book your tickets through the Underbelly. Or call 0844 545 8252.

Laura and Neil

ThickSkin Theatre - Ham House Richmond

Great to meet up with some guys from Ignition2009 Frantic Assembly.

First rehearsal went well - Neil Bettles and Laura Sutton choreographing.

Ham House a National Trust property fabulous. Gardens great.

Rehearsals from 12noon till 6pm. Not too hot for jumping about. Worked on sequence on steps as well as benches. Girls concentrated on their "flirty" footwork in the grass squares in front of the house.

Coming together slowly.

Props and extra clothing being sourced by Kate.

More tomorrow. Connor from my iPod.
