A memorial service for “Mistress of the Robes”
Diane Martin was held on Tuesday 13th May at St Peter Mancroft
Church in Norwich, the parish church of the Norwich Theatre Royal, the theatre where
Diane was closely associated.
In a day of funny stories and affectionate remembrances,
tributes to her work were led by Peter Wilson, the Theatre Royal Chief
Executive. Other contributions in word, verse and song came from, among others,
Richie Gauntlett (Norwich’s pantomime writer, director and Dame – and Quince/Egeus on the DVD of S4K’s Dream); and theatre producer Paul
Holman. Paul’s affectionate address also recognised the contribution Diane has
made over the years to Shakespeare 4 Kidz, where she has created the costumes
for all of our most recent productions.

S4K's Hamlet a Gulf Hit
The Shakespeare 4 Kidz Theatre Company known for their easy-to-understand musical adaptations of the Bard's classics have just returned from a "triumphant" tour of the Arabian Gulf with their latest success S4K's Hamlet The Musical.
The show written by Shakespeare 4 Kidz creatives Julian Chenery and Matt Gimblett is the sixth and most recent Shakespeare musical in the company's repertoire, which first appeared on our stages in 1997 with S4K's A Midsummer Night's Dream (reviewed by the BTG at the 1998 Edinburgh Fringe).
In the UK, the show was The Times "Number One Show for Kids" in November 2007 and has regularly received four and five star reviews.
The day after the UK tour closed at the Liverpool Empire in April, Elsinore was transported three thousand miles away to the desert sands of Bahrain, Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi.
