Season 2010 - 2011
As well as the three full-length shows below, we've also got various other productions happening over the course of the year. There is a New Directors Showcase in early September, which is an in-house production of a couple or three one-act plays, and we will be entering the County Drama Festival once again, with at least one play. We've also got several Murder Mystery bookings lined up and some other projects under development. Lots to do, in all areas, on stage and backstage - come along and have a go!
Autumn
2010
Damsels in Distress
Two
plays by Alan Ayckbourn, performed in collaboration with Street
Theatre,
directed by Mike Linham, one week at the Tacchi-Morris and one week
at Strode
Theatre. Thespians will be presenting GamePlan, Street RolePlay,
night about over the two weeks.
Spring 2011
The Good Doctor
Adapted from the short stories of Anton Chekhov
by Neil Simon, directed by Polly
Bray. We took a one-act play abstracted
from this to the English Semi-Finals of the AETF competition in
2010. It’s very funny indeed, Simon’s skill as a playwright enhancing
the wonderful observational humour of the Russian master.
Summer Tour 2011
Servant of Two Masters
Carlo Goldoni’s classic comedy, directed by
Michael Gilbert.
Lots of mistaken identity, knockabout comedy and wonderful costumes.
Hopefully, putting on a play set around the waterways of in 18th Century
Venice isn’t tempting the weather gods too much... Wikipedia article
on the play is here.
Audition details for all the above will be announced as soon as possible.
