SUMMARY:Social Play Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The SPRG plans another reading of Pyrenees by David Greig\, on Wednesday 6 December\, at 7.30pm in the Little Theatre bar. In this intriguing play\, a man found lying in the snow at the base of the Pyrenees\, suffering from amnesia\, is confronted by two women who offer alternative stories about his identity. There was such disagreement among the readers who were there in November about the true identities of the characters\, we are inviting Little Theatre members to come along\, read or listen and help us solve the puzzle. If you are good at accents (eg. a slight Scottish lilt\, or the accent of a person speaking English who might have been born in France)\, this is an opportunity to have some fun and help us solve the mystery.

SUMMARY:RolePlay
DESCRIPTION:By Alan Ayckbourn\, directed by Ray Riches \nJustin and Julie-Ann\, hopelessly mismatched in love\, are about to introduce their respective parents to each other over dinner – Justin’s upper-crust alcoholic mother from Surrey and Julie-Ann’s bigoted Yorkshire father and prim mother. \nEnter Paige Petite\, a former lap-dancer with suicidal tendencies\, who appears on their balcony having dropped from the flat above\, followed shortly after by the thick\, gun-toting minder employed by her violent boyfriend! \nThis is the third in the Damsels in Distress trilogy\, by Alan Ayckbourn. Although part of a trilogy\, each play stands alone. The director Ray Riches previously directed GamePlan\, the first of the series\, in 2007\, and is delighted to get the chance to direct RolePlay: ‘RolePlay is very funny! The humour comes from an array of larger than life characters\, heightened by the sense of peril in which our hapless heroine finds herself. All this combines to hilarious effect!’ \n‘returns to vintage Ayckbourn territory\, the dinner party from hell’ Paul Taylor\, The Independent

SUMMARY:Proof
DESCRIPTION:By David Auburn\, directed by Vaughan Leslie \nCatherine is mourning the recent passing of her father\, Robert\, a maths professor. Feeling vulnerable she worries that she has inherited Robert’s inclination towards mental instability\, as well as his maths genius. \nInto the equation comes Hal\, an ex-student of her father’s\, who wants to study the hundreds of notebooks left behind after his death\, looking for any work that could be published. \nCatherine assures him that the notebooks are filled with scribbles and nonsense as her father wrote them when he was at his most delusional. But then Hal makes a sensational discovery that threatens to turn everyone’s world upside down! \nProof won the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Tony Award for Best Play. \n‘In Proof\, David Auburn has fashioned an exhilarating and assured play – a subtle and gripping exploration of loss\, guilt\, discovery\, instability\, and\, ultimately\, the elusive nature of truth.’

SUMMARY:Summer Fancy
DESCRIPTION:Adapted and directed by Freda Kelsall \nYoung\, handsome lawyer\, Charles Bradford Raye is visiting the small city of Melchester on business\, when he meets\, and seduces Anna\, an attractive country girl\, at the local carnival. Anna has recently come to Melchester to work in the service of Edith Harnham and her husband\, an elderly vintner. \nCharles returns to London\, and writes to Anna\, not knowing that she is illiterate and cannot read the letter. Anna begs Edith to write a letter for her\, which she does\, and the lovers fall into a regular correspondence. \nAnna begins by dictating the letters\, but soon Edith edits and embellishes and even writes entire letters without Anna’s knowledge. Charles is astonished that an ill-educated country girl could write so well\, and he begins to fall in love with the letter-writer. Then Anna finds herself ‘in a delicate situation’\, and the plot thickens. \nThis moving tale first appeared as a short story On the Western Circuit\, in the collection Life’s Little Ironies\, by Thomas Hardy. Re-titled Summer Fancy it was adapted by local playwright\, Freda Kelsall\, and first produced by the Bridge Theatre\, at The Pomegranate Theatre\, Chesterfield\, in June 1992. We are honoured that Freda Kelsall has agreed to direct this latest revival.

SUMMARY:Social Play Reading
DESCRIPTION:The Social Play Reading Group meets next on Wednesday\, 3 May\, at 7.30pm\, and will be reading Hedda Gabler\, by Henrik Ibsen. Though written in the 19th century\, the play deals with issues that are timeless. Convenor\, Anita Alzamora says this is a play once done at the Little Theatre by Freda Kelsall’s Bridge Theatre\, and more recently mentioned as a play that some women wished could be performed by the Little Theatre. We think it is timely to look at it more closely. There are parts for both men and women\, and everyone is invited\, whether to listen\, read\, or comment upon the play and its relevance to today.

SUMMARY:A View from the Bridge
DESCRIPTION:By Arthur Miller\, directed by Jenny Gore \nThe story of Eddie Carbone\, an Italian American longshoreman\, working the docks around the Brooklyn Bridge\, as narrated by Alfieri\, an American lawyer\, raised in Italy\, who acts as the ‘Bridge’ between the two cultures.\n \nEddie lives with his wife Beatrice and her orphaned niece\, Catherine. At first protective and fatherly towards the girl\, he becomes increasingly jealous and controlling as she approaches her 18th birthday\, objecting to the way she dresses and her growing interest in men.\n \nEddie returns home one afternoon with the news that Beatrice’s two cousins\, brothers Marco and Rodolpho\, have arrived in New York as illegal immigrants. He has agreed to house them saying that he is honoured to be able to help family.  \nMarco has a family starving in Italy and plans to work illegally for several years\, then return home. Rodolpho hopes to stay in America and make a career out of singing. Although Eddie\, Beatrice and Catherine are at first excellent hosts\, ominous cracks appear when Rodolpho and Catherine begin dating. \nThis classic tragedy\, written in 1955\, is one of Arthur Miller’s finest works.

SUMMARY:Spring and Port Wine
DESCRIPTION:By Bill Naughton\, directed by Gil Burns  \nRafe Crompton rules his wife\, Daisy\, and their four children with a rod of iron. Yet the tide is turning: Florence has found love with a sheet metal worker; Hilda wants to stay out late like the other girls; while Wilf and Harold have their hearts set on a place of their own\, away from Rafe’s strict regime. \nIt’s Hilda who finally tires of their overbearing father when she refuses to eat the herring served to her at dinner.  Who would have thought this one small act of rebellion could have such unexpected and far-reaching consequences?! \nBill Naughton’s comic masterpiece pays homage to the great period of Lancashire comedies\, that produced Hobson’s Choice and Hindle Wakes\, and is one of the great northern comedy-dramas.

SUMMARY:Dracula
DESCRIPTION:By Deane and Balderston\, directed by Ray Riches \nAdapted from Bram Stoker’s original\, chilling novel\, this version promises more spills than thrills in spite of the fact that early performances had nurses in attendance to deal with overcome members of the audience. \nLucy Seward lives with her father in the quiet English countryside when she is attacked by some strange disease. (‘Day by day she is wasting away’). Not even her father can diagnose the cause so he sends for the eccentric Van Helsing\, a specialist in the occult and mysterious diseases. \nQuestions arise concerning the suave Count Dracula who has recently moved into a nearby castle. What strange power does he have over Lucy when he comes to check on her condition? Where does he disappear to in the daytime? Is there any connection with the strange boxes which he has had delivered from his home in Transylvania? \nWith bats aplenty and specially written songs\, director Ray Riches promises the audience: \n‘An evening of fun guaranteed to get your blood flowing but a clove of garlic might not go amiss.’ \n  \n[button link=”http://hblt.co.uk/buy-tickets-online” color=”default” size=”” stretch=”” type=”” shape=”” target=”_self” title=”” gradient_colors=”|” gradient_hover_colors=”|” accent_color=”” accent_hover_color=”” bevel_color=”” border_width=”1px” icon=”fa-shopping-cart” icon_divider=”yes” icon_position=”left” modal=”” animation_type=”0″ animation_direction=”down” animation_speed=”0.1″ animation_offset=”” alignment=”left” class=”” id=””]BUY TICKETS ONLINE[/button] \n

SUMMARY:Moonlight and Magnolias
DESCRIPTION:By Ron Hutchinson\, directed by Hannah Stow \nImagine the crazy scenario:- five weeks into filming ‘Gone With The Wind’\, the most eagerly awaited and expensive film of all time\, producer David O. Selznick\, fires the director and halts filming. With his reputation on the line and a determination to still make a great movie\, he pulls director Victor Fleming off the set of the ‘Wizard of Oz’ and commissions script writer\, Ben Hecht\, to rewrite the screenplay. \nAdd to that the fact that they only have five days and the added complication that Hecht is the only person in Hollywood who hasn’t read the epic novel and you have all the ingredients for a great comedy. \nThe three are locked in an office with Selznick and Fleming reduced to hilariously re-enacting the story to a baffled Hecht. Fuelled only by bananas and peanuts\, tension builds\, exhaustion sets in but from amidst the chaos emerges the biggest blockbuster of all time. Crazy? But the British Theatre Guide said of it:  \n“A sheer joy. It’s years since I laughed out loud so much at a play”. \n \n[button link=”http://hblt.co.uk/buy-tickets-online” color=”default” size=”” stretch=”” type=”” shape=”” target=”_self” title=”” gradient_colors=”|” gradient_hover_colors=”|” accent_color=”” accent_hover_color=”” bevel_color=”” border_width=”1px” icon=”fa-shopping-cart” icon_divider=”yes” icon_position=”left” modal=”” animation_type=”0″ animation_direction=”down” animation_speed=”0.1″ animation_offset=”” alignment=”left” class=”” id=””]BUY TICKETS ONLINE[/button] \n

SUMMARY:The Children's Hour
DESCRIPTION:By Lillian Hellman\, directed by Jenny Gore \nThe play is set in the thirties\, in a rural all-girls’ boarding school\, run by two women. A mischievous and frequently disobedient student\, Mary\, runs away from the school and to avoid being sent back she tells her doting grandmother that the two women are having a lesbian affair. \nHer grandmother\, a significant member of the community\, withdraws Mary and persuades all the other parents to do likewise causing the school to close which has tragic consequences for the two women. \nThe play\, which is based on a true story\, is about the powerful\, corrosive effect of a malicious lie and how witch hunts can destroy lives. It was a shocking play for its time\, challenging the views of contemporary American Society and making a profoundly moving\, dramatic story. \n  \n[button link=”http://hblt.co.uk/buy-tickets-online” color=”default” size=”” stretch=”” type=”” shape=”” target=”_self” title=”” gradient_colors=”|” gradient_hover_colors=”|” accent_color=”” accent_hover_color=”” bevel_color=”” border_width=”1px” icon=”fa-shopping-cart” icon_divider=”yes” icon_position=”left” modal=”” animation_type=”0″ animation_direction=”down” animation_speed=”0.1″ animation_offset=”” alignment=”left” class=”” id=””]BUY TICKETS ONLINE[/button] \n

SUMMARY:Stepping Out
DESCRIPTION:By Richard Harris\, directed by Gill Burns and Gilly Walker \nThe Evening Standard Best Comedy of 1984 is a warm and funny play about a group of women\, (and a solitary man) who attend a weekly tap-dance class in a dingy\, rundown church hall. The women bring all kinds of emotional baggage to the sessions\, along with little talent or co-ordination\, for them it’s a weekly chat. \nHowever\, driven by their eternally patient instructor Mavis and their grumpy pianist\, their skills improve and they begin to develop as a team finally being successful in giving a great performance at a local gala. \nBut their real triumph is the personal journeys the women make as they don their leotards\, shed their inhibitions and overcome various personal hang-ups.\n \n[button link=”https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/event/EEKHGF” color=”default” size=”” stretch=”” type=”” shape=”” target=”_self” title=”” gradient_colors=”|” gradient_hover_colors=”|” accent_color=”” accent_hover_color=”” bevel_color=”” border_width=”1px” icon=”fa-shopping-cart” icon_divider=”yes” icon_position=”left” modal=”” animation_type=”0″ animation_direction=”down” animation_speed=”0.1″ animation_offset=”” alignment=”left” class=”” id=””]BUY TICKETS[/button] \n
