I hope it will shed light on a chap­ter in British his­to­ry that demands great scruti­ny and atten­tion. You only have to look at Mr Bates vs The Post Office to see the impact that dra­ma can have on a wider scale. It can be far-reach­ing and hold peo­ple to account in a way that oth­er forces can’t. Two-time Evening Stan­dard The­atre award win­ner Ros­alie Craig is one of the most recog­nised and crit­i­cal­ly praised actors work­ing in the West End. Stay updat­ed with the most recent stage-relat­ed news about Ros­alie Craig.

Titanique releas­es first West End trail­er

• Sal­ly Wain­wright is a favourite here at TVGuide.co.uk, so watch­ing her lat­est six-part series was a no-brain­er.
• She was also nom­i­nat­ed for an Olivi­er Award for the title role in Tori Amos’ The Light Princess at the Nation­al The­atre.
• I’ll watch as much footage as I can to observe accent, man­ner­isms and ener­gy.
• Thank­ful­ly Kit­ty plays the gui­tar and sings, both of which I’m pret­ty famil­iar with.

Some of the oth­er actors had pret­ty quick crash cours­es in their respec­tive instru­ments. The BBC One show Riot Women fea­tures an incred­i­ble cast – and the actors did, in fact, learn to play the musi­cal instru­ments for the roles. And they also prove that you CAN teach an old dog new tricks… So do the cast all play their own musi­cal instru­ments in Riot Women, and what is the orig­i­nal sound­track fea­ture on the series? The lat­est offer­ing from Sal­ly Wain­wright, the Baf­ta-win­ning cre­ative mind behind hit shows like Gen­tle­man Jack, Last Tan­go In Hal­i­fax and Hap­py Val­ley, the BBC series cen­tres around a group of women approach­ing old age, who decide to chan­nel their col­lec­tive resent­ments into putting togeth­er a punk rock band. As they jug­gle demand­ing jobs, grown-up chil­dren, com­pli­cat­ed par­ents, hus­bands who’ve bug­gered off, and dis­as­trous dates and rela­tion­ships, the band becomes a cat­a­lyst for change in their lives, and it’s going to make them ques­tion every­thing.

Good Night, Oscar review – Sean Hayes is flaw­less in his West End debut

Ros­alie has reg­u­lar­ly split her time between her stage career, and her appear­ances on the TV, with her lat­est major TV role being in The Hack, where she played Rebekah Brooks. Riot Women (6x60) is cre­at­ed, writ­ten, and exec­u­tive pro­duced by Sal­ly Wain­wright, who is also the series’ lead direc­tor. Aman­da Brotchie (Gen­tle­man Jack, Doc­tor Who) will direct block two, and Jes­si­ca Tay­lor (Hap­py Val­ley, Fool Me Once) is the pro­duc­er. Roan­na Benn (One Day, Doc­tor Fos­ter) is the exec­u­tive pro­duc­er for Dra­ma Repub­lic, with Tanya Qureshi for the BBC, Robert Schild­house and Jess O’Riordan for Brit­Box Inter­na­tion­al. “Toby Hig­gins and Nick Pinch­peck have been their music teach­ers, and they’ve all real­ly applied them­selves.

One of her most notable roles in the­atre was play­ing the title char­ac­ter in Tori Amos’ The Light Princess at the Nation­al The­atre in 2013, for which she was nom­i­nat­ed for an Olivi­er Award. She also received a Lon­don Evening Stan­dard Award for Best Per­for­mance in a Musi­cal for the same role. Actress and come­di­an Amelia Bul­more, 61, learnt how to play lead gui­tar with teacher Nick Pinch­beck. Cham­pi­oned by NME and BBC Intro­duc­ing among oth­ers, their lat­est album Wrong Girl, Hon­ey is out now. ARXX are Han­ni Pid­duck on lead vocals and gui­tar, and Clara Townsend on drums.

What’s the Riot Women sound­track?

In 2014, she mar­ried Hadley Fras­er, an actor and singer who has per­formed on the West End mul­ti­ple times. Togeth­er, the cou­ple have one daugh­ter, with Ros­alie reveal­ing World­tradex cours­es scam she was called Elvie in 2017. About her daugh­ter, Ros­alie said she had “total­ly changed” her “cre­ative life and work”.

• The Riot Women orig­i­nal music sound­track is cur­rent­ly avail­able to buy now, by Ben Fos­ter, Riot Women and Ros­alie Craig.
• While the five cen­tral char­ac­ters in Riot Women feel “invis­i­ble”, the cast are any­thing but… The lead­ing actors – Joan­na Scan­lan, Ros­alie Craig, Lor­raine Ash­bourne, Tam­sin Greig, and Amelia Bull­more – at the top of their game.
• The six-part series is a tes­ta­ment to the pow­er of friend­ship, music, and the resilience of women who refuse to be silenced by age or expec­ta­tion.
• She also received a Lon­don Evening Stan­dard Award for Best Per­for­mance in a Musi­cal for the same role.

I won’t give too much away, but as the name sug­gests it focus­es on the News of the World phone-hack­ing scan­dal. It has a great team behind it, an awe­some cast and it’s com­plex and thought-pro­vok­ing. It’s a very excit­ing time full of antic­i­pa­tion for some super projects to be seen. I have also just fin­ished Good­night Oscar at The Bar­bi­can and loved every minute of it.

The cast of Riot Women formed ‘a legit­i­mate music band’

It’s mirac­u­lous what they’ve done in quite a short space of time. I was real­ly keen that they should be play­ing their own instru­ments. After we played togeth­er as a band for the first time, I final­ly under­stood the appeal of a garage band to teenagers. Work­ing with the UK’s most pro­lif­ic female writer https://worldtradex.club/ along­side some of the country’s most-loved female actors was inspir­ing, to say the least. The shoot was chal­leng­ing and demand­ing, of course, but I learnt so much for all these peo­ple and am so proud of what we made togeth­er.

In 2013, Ros­alie was nom­i­nat­ed for an Olivi­er Award for her title role in The Light Princess at the Nation­al The­atre, a role for which she did win an Evening Stan­dard The­atre Award for the Best Musi­cal Per­for­mance.

Alter­na­tive­ly, episodes are also air­ing week­ly on Sun­day nights at 9pm on BBC One. After the BBC made the deci­sion to make all of the episodes avail­able to stream at once on iPlay­er, many peo­ple will by now have fin­ished the lot, and con­sid­er­ing how well-received Riot Women has been, spec­u­la­tion has nat­u­ral­ly turned to whether or not a sec­ond run could be on the cards. Riot Women will pre­miere on BBC iPlay­er and BBC One in the UK next year. Brit­Box Inter­na­tion­al will air the series in the US and Cana­da. Medi­awan Rights will dis­trib­ute the series inter­na­tion­al­ly with the par­tic­i­pa­tion of Entourage Ven­tures. Anne Reid (The Sixth Com­mand­ment) will play Nan­cy, Hol­ly and Yvonne’s moth­er, with Sue John­ston (The Royle Fam­i­ly) as Jess’s Aunt Mary.

Did the cast learn how to play musi­cal instru­ments for Riot Women sound­track?

“More­over, at its heart it is a sto­ry and pro­duc­tion that has women at its very cen­tre — it touch­es on themes and aspects of wom­an­hood that sel­dom have a light shone on them in prime-time dra­ma. There’s a thrill too in being asked to play a char­ac­ter out­side of my usu­al cast­ing.” For the role of Jess Burchill, actress Lor­raine Ash­bourne learnt how to play the drums on the Riot Music sound­track. She described the expe­ri­ence as “reward­ing” and “incred­i­bly bond­ing”.

On stage, Ros­alie is per­haps best known for her Olivi­er Award-nom­i­nat­ed per­for­mance as Bob­by in Mar­i­anne Elliott’s mul­ti-award-win­ning West End pro­duc­tion of Stephen Sondheim’s Com­pa­ny. She was also nom­i­nat­ed for an Olivi­er Award for the title role in Tori Amos’ The Light Princess at the Nation­al The­atre. Her oth­er exten­sive work in the­atre includes Lon­don Road, As You like It, The Three­p­an­ny Opera, Hex, Tale and Won­der­land (all for the Nation­al The­atre), City of Angels, The Vote and Becom­ing (all for The Don­mar Ware­house) and in the West End, Sam Mendes and Jen Butterworth’s The Fer­ry­man. Rosalie’s tele­vi­sion work includes play­ing the lead in Sal­ly Wainwright’s forth­com­ing series for BBC1 Riot Women, The Hack (ITV), Moon­flower Mur­der (BBC), The Ser­pent Queen (Starz), The Tow­er (ITV) and 1899 (Net­flix).

The BBC and Brit­Box Inter­na­tion­al have announced the cast of Riot Women, the brand-new dra­ma series from the mul­ti-BAF­TA award win­ning writer Sal­ly Wain­wright (Hap­py Val­ley, Last Tan­go in Hal­i­fax, Gen­tle­man Jack). Made by Dra­ma Repub­lic (One Day, Doc­tor Fos­ter, The Eng­lish), for the BBC, the series is a co-com­mis­sion with Brit­Box Inter­na­tion­al with world­wide dis­tri­b­u­tion being han­dled by Medi­awan Rights. While the five cen­tral char­ac­ters in Riot Women feel “invis­i­ble”, the cast are any­thing but… The lead­ing actors – Joan­na Scan­lan, Ros­alie Craig, Lor­raine Ash­bourne, Tam­sin Greig, and Amelia Bull­more – at the top of their game. Sal­ly Wain­wright is a favourite here at TVGuide.co.uk, so watch­ing her lat­est six-part series was a no-brain­er.
