Testimonials
"Anson was fantastic throughout. I have particularly high standards when it comes to SMs and he met them comfortably. Always attentive, almost always a step ahead. always efficient and strong paperwork skills. Anson was the highlight of the show for me."
Oscar Blustin - Artistic Director of SPECIFQ Theatre Company "He always seemed prepared for the job at hand and never seemed to panic even when problems arose. His commitment and passion for the role were exemplary." Paul Stowe - Theatre Technician at Drama St Mary's. "At no point in the process did I have to worry that things were happening in the rehearsal room that we did not know about in the costume department; this may sound slight, but it saved hours of time and money and does not always happen. Anson's attitude and attention to his work was always professional." Tina Bicat – Costume Designer "Anson Williams was a pleasure to work with. As a producer and a stage manager he was efficient, punctual and productive at every part of the process. Anson did everything to the best of his ability and made sure every detail of his work was to the highest quality whether it was the rehearsal schedule to the lighting design. Anson was excellent to work with and I would definitely work with him again." Ross Sterne - Director of Anathema with Bearded Dog Theatre “Anson was extremely respectful to those performers who had to perform in their underwear, making sure every actor knew their blocking and having the book available at any given time. He took the pressure of the work in his stride and found alternatives for times, props and rehearsal space when things fell through, whilst maintaining a highly professional attitude." Amy Collyer – Actor – Miss Tipdale in Not Now Darling. “It was also the little things which made Anson the complete stage manager by always providing stationery, especially highlighter’s and there was never a shortage of hot water for cups of tea and for me personally, lots of Lemsips thanks to the Anson’s resident kettle. Anson was always on book ready to prompt a line and was ever-ready to give help to those who had forgotten any blocking as he had written it all down in his folder with complete analytical precision so it was always simple to pick up the scene thanks to Anson.” Joe Parrish – Actor – Harry McMichael in Not Now Darling. "Anson tackled the role with amazing organisation and efficiency; the kind that people would dream of having. If there were any problems or issues, they would be dealt with correctly and promptly, whether technical or otherwise. Paperwork was always completed and distributed on time or early and to professional standard. Having worked with and been mentored by a Stage Manager for over thirty years. It was easy to spot the same level of drive, passion and commitment in Anson who appeared to know the play better than the writer would have.” Matthew Keywood – Lighting Designer |
