SPOTLIGHT ON: Rialto Theatre , Brighton
Since 2014 this studio space with its accompanying Art Deco bar/cafe/performance area has attracted local, national and international performers and as it opens its doors again for the late May launch of indoor Fringe performances, it’s putting out an urgent appeal for funds.Apart from restoration work to the exterior of this listed building in Dyke Road, next to the Imperial Arcade , there’s urgent work needed inside and to replace technical equipment.
I’ve been amused, thrilled and thoroughly entertained at this venue by the likes of local performer Andrew Farr in his depiction of Edith Piaf, the fabulous international cabaret artist Peter Groom with his reinacarnation of Marlene Dietrich, the super-talented Mark Farrelly and his sharp.
