Play Read Announcements Aug/Sept 2015

All welcome – members or not.

Firstly, next Wednesday 26 August 20:00 Jubilee Hall we’re reading the play content for this year’s Christmas Show. The second ‘act’ of the show will be the ever-popular HAG Rocks! choir but the first act will be comprised of two ‘plays’. First up Charles Dickens’ The Signalman, a ghost story for Christmas (2 m, 30 minutes). Then A Christmas Carol – The Real Story (2 either, 10 minutes). We’re also re-reading sections of our February 2016 production of Agatha Christie’s A Murder is Announced this evening

Then on Wednesday 16 September 20:00 Edward Hall we’re reading Richard Bean’s One Man Two Guvnors (for 2016). Big cast for this riotously fun romp which you may have heard about via the very successful West End run with James Corden and latterly Rufus Hound in the lead role. Very ambitious but the script zings and all parts are rewarding.

Prepare for blast off! Box Office now open!

The box office is now open for tickets for our big celebratory musical RETURN TO THE FORBIDDEN PLANET in October. The show is a brilliant adaptation of Shakespeare’s The Tempest set to rock and roll music, including Great Balls of Fire, Good Vibrations, Wipe Out and Gloria – fun for all the family. As a special offer for our 40th birthday we’re offering free attendance for children (16 and under) for the October 17 matinee only (14:30 start). Children must be accompanied by a full ticket price paying adult and no more than four children per adult.
