Such an undertaking is the work of many hands. The heads that were deluded enough to think such a thing might come into being are introduced below. We hope to give prominence to each and every contributor to this enterprise on these pages, though for now you can look into the faces of the four that thought such a thing might be possible.
Liz Bridges
Dividing her time between Malvern and Gozo, where she runs a medical school, Liz Bridges is also carving out time to be Executive Producer of West Malvern Ring. As a student of theatre, she is well-versed in the challenges of taking ideas from page to stage and brings a sense of realism to proceedings: anyone who has experienced a Brewers Quiz has Liz to thank for saving from the depths of insanity.
Judith Sanoon
With a background in music therapy and a house filled to the brim with a plenitude of objects from which can be coaxed the most remarkable and arresting sounds, the role of Musical Director is a natural fit for Judith Sanoon. Whether adapting Wagner’s score, producing original compositions or inspiring musical talents in the village, Judith’s endeavours will ensure an euphonius evening.
Shameem Sanoon
A wordsmith, a scholar of German and in possession of prodigious organisational abilities, Shameem Sanoon is an Executive Producer who will keep the show on the road when others may seem to be driving it off the rails, up in the air or down a blind alley.
Tim White
Mild-mannered theatre and performance studies lecturer by day and over-enthusiastic community fomentor by night, a transformation effected without the means of a phone box (which all seem to be entirely filled with books these days), Tim is the Creative Director of West Malvern Ring. A self-awarded title of some ambiguity, for him ‘Creative Director’ means that he will be dividing his time between holding it together and pushing it forward, all the while chipping in with varying degrees of proficiency across a raft of digital forms.
