Rebecca is an experienced Drama Teacher who after twenty years working in Education and Education Management has decided to pursue a career in Acting/Directing and follow her dream.
“I bring in-depth teaching experience combined with active contribution to the development of high standards in Drama. I use this experience and expertise to direct, produce and act in my own theatre company ‘Falling Stars Theatre’ as well as offering dramatic skills to the wider world.”
Falling Stars Theatre was founded in 2014, partly in response to a plea from Fallfest (Fallfest is a three-day community festival with a focus on Film, Art, Literature and Life) to introduce a new style of theatre to this Community Festival audience.
Director, Rebecca Durham decided on a Promenade piece to involve, engage and challenge the audience.
Since that time the local community has asked to bring Falling Stars Theatre back and they have performed a Steven Berkoff piece ‘Dahling, You Were Marvellous,’ ‘Two’ by Jim Cartwright and ‘The Last Resort’ by Chris Owen. Experiencing life with the characters whether that is the pub, the beach or the theatre. The actors will engage with the audience, move in and around the space and change the dynamics of the traditional actor/ audience relationship. This creates an engaging and exciting theatrical experience.
Falling Stars Theatre are known for their immersive style of performance, involving the audience at the heart of the action and making them feel as if they are experiencing life with the characters.
Falling Stars Theatre are currently creating their own performance to take to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2021.

Colin’s artistic journey took a dramatic turn when two years ago he swapped being the drummer of two bands to take a more centre stage presence. He is enjoying the challenges of treading the boards rather than banging the skins.
