Yours gratefully....

This is possibly the shortest blog I’ve done but it’s been a long couple of weeks and next week is packed too so I am simply going to say this…I am lucky enough to be part of a number of teams of excellent people.  This isn’t a new thing it’s been going on for quite a while – as time goes by the personnel in those teams change – people move on and others appear…the last couple of weeks have been a celebration of those teams – those people who with generosity and gratitude…with positivity, pleasure and well placed pride…with flexibility and a fighting spirit make the implausible possible and my life as rich as I could possibly imagine… they range in age from the youngest to the oldest  and I am immensely appreciative of each and every one of them…thank you…

Fred's 2025 in Review Blog

Last Christmas, I wrote a YewTree blog to recap 2024. I don't remember much about it, but what I do know is that it was quite extensive, and probably full of a lot of waffle. Here I am, on the 24th December 2025 (the date on which I am finishing the blog), writing another one. Hopefully this time it won't be as long, but knowing me i doubt I'll manage that. Trying to think back to the start of the year is like trying to remember your lines after briefly reading a script one time. The image of it you have in your head is definitely not what was written. Everything is completely different, especially me. I genuinely believe I am a different person now. And, since trying to remember that far back is difficult, I think I'll start closer to the end. In one recent Connections rehearsal, we explored a physical theatre exercise, and I made a comment that went something along the lines of "If I forget that I'm Fred in a room with other people that might be watching me, ...

Jacob and Tristan's YTYT 2025 blogs

Jacobe Sakels tells us of his YTYT year: What a brilliant year of yew tree! I want to start this by saying how delighted I am to spend yet another year of my life doing what I enjoy most, and 2025 has certainly made me fall even deeper in love with acting (which I never thought was possible!)   At the start of this year, I was buzzing after Hansel and Gretel and was ready for a new thing to keep me entertained! Luckily, I didn't have to wait, as we started work on a new play: In The Hands of The God's (Greek mythology), where I was Daedalus in the story of Icarus. I enjoyed this, and with many new people that had joined at the beginning of the year, it was a wonderful opportunity to get to know my new friends.  Alongside this play, I was also focused on my Grade 2 LAMDA devising. And after months and months of hard work, it all paid off with a wonderful distinction! Not only do I enjoy LAMDA, it's been proven to expand my skills and I wouldn't have become half the actor...

Matthew's 2025 in Review Blog

This year at Yew Tree has been yet again another filled with joy collaboration and many surprises. My year began with getting back to connections rehearsals for Mia and the fish in which I played the antagonist Paz alongside Alfie Cowburn a great friend and talented actor, through our rehearsals the play developed drastically, going from a story of struggle, climate action and companionship to something that we were proud to perform as our own piece.  It was also this year in which I took my grade 8 acting exam where I performed and answered questions on pieces from Comet, Henry V and Equus, a great challenge but one that I was proud to pass with distinction. In gold company it was a great pleasure to take part in the story of the Trojan war as long Priam, with many people in the company having only just joined or moving up to gold recently it was amazing to see people come into their own, overcome challenges and become part of the company. It was also at this time that I was grant...
