It is with heavy hearts that we share the sad news that our friend and colleague, Mr Jamie Bell passed away on Tuesday.

An incredibly talented man, a true gentleman and an absolute legend. He wasn’t just part of our creative team, he was part of the family. He was an inspirational man who went above and beyond to make a moment work. His skill, generosity, kindness, and presence left a mark on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. He brought so much to Redbridge Drama Centre, the Kenneth More Theatre and the students of RDDC. He will be deeply missed by us all. The world is certainly a darker place without him.

Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones at this incredibly difficult time. A book of condolences will be at Redbridge Drama Centre for those wishing to leave messages and memories.

Rest in Peace, Mr Bell. Thank you for everything.

dEFAULT THEATRE presents… Shakespeare in the Pub: HENRY IV

The curtain has fallen on a touring Shakespeare company’s final performance, but the night isn’t over. In the theatre bar, champagne flows as the crew celebrates – and inspiration strikes. Together, they transform their after-hours revelry into an impromptu production of ‘Henry IV’, fashioning a stage from their surroundings and bringing it to life using whatever (and whoever) is around them.

Drawing from both parts of William Shakespeare’s ‘Henry IV’, what unfolds is a story of power, rebellion, and redemption. At its heart is an ailing king struggling to maintain order in his realm while grappling with an even greater challenge: his own son’s rebellion. Prince Hal, more at home in taverns than court, has found a questionable mentor in the charismatic rogue John Falstaff. But when the ambitious Hotspur threatens the kingdom with civil war, Hal must finally confront his responsibilities to crown, country, and father.

As contemporary relationships mirror Shakespeare’s historic power struggles, the lines between performer and character begin to blur, and a dialogue forms between past and present.

By integrating innovative staging with Shakespeare’s original text, Shakespeare in the Pub offers a fresh perspective on timeless tales. Filled with humour and heart, this intimate performance reveals the enduring power of the Bard’s storytelling.
