March and the days are getting longer, the cherry blossom is coming out and spring is in the air. We are beginning to look towards the future and possible outside shows over the summer months. Meanwhile we have more online shows planned. Auditions have just been announced for Eight by Ella Hickson which will be a pre recorded online show.

Our online ticketed performance of The Weir, by Conor McPherson, directed by Ian Higham took place on 25th February. The cast included: Joe Bradley, Jim Dixon, Ellen Fife, Tim Iredale and Graham Kellas. The show was produced by Jeff Graves and the Technical Producer was Tom Sainsbury. We estimate nearly 250 people watched online based on ticket sales and feedback was great. A few comments below:
Congrats to all cast and crew of The Weir! I really DID feel I was in a pub with you. Would love to know what you were really drinking though...
Very well done! Congrats to the whole team behind this. Surprisingly cinematic too. Thank you for showing how to do plays in Zoom.
The Weir lost nothing on Zoom - such a powerful play and brilliantly put together by everyone - massive congratulations and thanks to you all for treating us to an evening of proper theatre in our homes.
Well done guys. Really enjoyed The Weir! Special shout out to the magical technical direction. It was spot on! I’m so in awe!
