Unfortunately, I was forced to miss both the Car Rally and The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe as I was rehearsing or performing The Life of Christ at Wintershall. I hear, however, that I missed a super production of the Nomes play, a review of which by Bill Pearson can be found on Page 3 After all Helen Longes' hard work and originality in organising the Treasure Hunt on 24th June, it was disappointing that the weather decided to play a hand, as the afternoon was more akin to February than mid-summer, Those who did attend, nonetheless, thoroughly enjoyed themselves despite the non-stop rain and we trust that Helen will not be deterred from trying again next year (see Helen's article on Page 3)
Last month I raved about Brandon McGuire's production of ART and on the evening I attended the Theatre was nearly full' What a shame, therefore, to discover that the overall attendance was so low. If our extensive membership cannot turn out for such an adventurous and exciting show, are we going (like other companies) to be reduced to a diet of 'safe' drama that can be guaranteed to put bottoms on seats? Surely we have a duty to members and the area to provide a varied programme for all tastes and investigate challenging and difficult, but rewarding, plays? Take a look at Tony Flook's review of ART! |
