production company JC & JW Theatre Productions, which is producing
Peter Pan, this year’s Christmas show at the White Rock Theatre,
Hastings. The other 50% of the company is owned by writer, producer and director Julian Chenery. Shakespeare 4 Kidz own the worldwide rights to present the Shakespeare 4 Kidz musical adaptations of Shakespeare’s plays, written by Julian Chenery and Matt Gimblett. The S4K Theatre Company is currently embarked upon a UK-wide tour of S4K’s Romeo and Juliet – The Musical and S4K’s The Tempest until April 2009, prior to an international tour of R&J. Jamie Wilson has accepted an offer for his shares in JC and JW Theatre Productions Limited so he can devote more time to his other commercial ventures. He says: “I wish the company of Peter Pan every success for this season and would like to thank all the staff at the White Rock Theatre for their support throughout this year” Commenting on the deal, Chief Executive Julian Chenery said: “I am delighted that this acquisition brings Shakespeare 4 Kidz into the UK pantomime market, as it keeps our company busy in an otherwise quiet time of year.”
