Autograph meets the theatre sound needs for a hat-trick of highlights

Share

It has been a busy spell for Autograph’s hire team, culminating this week with the supply of full sound systems to no fewer than three shows opening within days of each other in London and Birmingham.

First up was Clarkston, a new play written by Samuel D. Hunter and directed by award-winning director Jack Serio, which opened on Wednesday this week at Trafalgar Theatre in the West End. Described as “a modern frontier story” this play – with sound design by George Dennis – tells  the story of two young men forming a bond and exploring new possibilities of adventure and exploration.

That opening was followed this weekend by the beginning of a UK & Europe tour of the award-winning musical production of The Bodyguard, which kicked off at Birmingham’s Alexandra Theatre on Saturday, with sound design by Richard Brooker. The smash-hit musical will be visiting theatres across the UK, plus Munich, Berlin, Frankfurt, Zurich and Dublin, right through until August 2026, with further dates expected to be announced.

The Bodyguard began its tour of the UK & Europe on 20 September at Birmingham’s Alexandra Theatre.

This spate of openings continues tonight at Apollo Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue with Punch. This is a powerful, heartbreaking and ultimately uplifting retelling of the true story of Jacob Dunne. Having served prison time for manslaughter after an impulsive punch ended the life of another young man in 2011, Dunne eventually discovered redemption and hope through meeting his victim’s parents – and is now a campaigner for ‘Restorative Justice’.

Written by Olivier-winner James Graham, and directed by Adam Penford, this extraordinary tale was originally commissioned and produced by Nottingham Playhouse, and has sound design by Alexandra Faye Braithwaite.
