Thanks to Dave Hacket for once again taking rehearsal photos. We have published a selection in our latest gallery addition. Click on here: N.Watch Photo Gallery to take a look and comment if you wish.
Galleries from other recent plays can be found by selecting Galleries and the dropdown in the menu at the top of the page (a stack of bars on tablets and phones)
Neighbourhood Watch was a pleasing success. We knew this was a challenging play – wordy and longer than usual – but the audiences were in agreement with us that Ayckbourn’s words are well worth listening to. Thought provoking and easy to extrapolate to current affairs it was never the less balanced with many touches of his well-placed humour – think ‘Hedgetrimmer’ for one. Photos of the performance will be posted shortly, so ensure you have entered your email address under ‘Follow Us’ to be the first to see them.
Now we move on to our summer ‘rest’ phase which, of course is no rest at all. We are already thinking about plays for 2016/17 and we will be reading through scripts over the next few weeks. Have you any ideas, favourites, new plays, old plays that you would like to see us perform?
But firstly we have our Open Night on 9 May where we hope to interact with audience friends and newcomers and show who we are and what we do and answer your questions. Obviously we also hope to attract new members as helpers and/or actors – more on that interesting issue in a future post….
With just a few days to go to Neighbourhood Watch (book your tickets here) we also need to tell you about our annual Open Night event on Monday May 9th at 7.30pm in the Forum.
This is that exciting once a year unmissable opportunity (ok I’m in promotional mode here) to come and meet the stars of our stage and the equally wonderful stars of our backstage operations.
In a friendly informal atmosphere join us to have a chat; find out what we do; how we get a play from first reading to performance; have look at our history and photos from the past; give us your opinions; offer suggestions….
It’s also an opportunity to consider joining us in any capacity – want to have a go at acting? (no previous experience necessary…) -offer help in our numerous supportive roles off stage both during performances and during the rehearsal process? – help build our sets for the plays? Help with teas on performance nights? Perhaps support us by becoming a patron?
So come along and see us… oh, and free refreshments available too….
The Forum is our rehearsal building which is located to the right of the Village Hall on Elloughton Road, near the scout huts
It may be April 1st but this is no joke… there are just 28 days to first night for Neighbourhood Watch. Seats are selling well so book your tickets now.
