100th Anniversary Year!
We begin the start of our 100th anniversary year with a Production of The Wind in the Willows.
The gentle family musical play is based on the classic Kenneth Grahame novel with book & lyrics by Willis Hall and music by Denis King.
Join, Mole, Ratty, Badger and of course Mr Toad as we head along the Riverbank for a series of adventures featuring a Rowing Boat, Gypsy Caravan, Motor Car, Prison Cell, Canal Boat and of course a fierce battle to liberate Toad Hall. Along the way we meet, Mr Toad’s Housekeeper, Butler, Singing Field Mice, Alfred the Horse, Police Constables, a slightly erratic Judge, the fearsome Wild Wooders and many more.
This will be the first production that we will be staging in the Sports Hall at Sir John Talbots School and to add to the challenge we will be performing on a Thrust Stage. This simply means that the Audience will be sat on three sides of the stage, so will be right in the thick of the action. The show will run from Wednesday 29th May through to Saturday 1 st June, for the first time in 100 years we will be performing a weekday Matinee on Thursday 30th May @ 1pm, evening performances will be at 7pm and there will be one performance on Saturday 1st June @ 4pm We hope to see you there!
