Forthcoming Productions and Dates for your Diaries:
Blithe Spirit – update
For our autumn production, November 8th – 13th, we are delighted that Barbara Large is to direct Blithe Spirit by Noel Coward.
Rehearsals start early September on Mondays and Fridays (although it is possible that this may be changed to Mondays and Thursdays depending on availability of cast and venue).
This is a delightful comedy for two men and five women. Charles Condomine, whose first wife Elvira has been dead for seven years, has been reasonably happy with his second wife Ruth. After he invites Madame Arcati, a local medium, to conduct a seance at their home, Elvira returns from the dead. Determined to get Charles to herself forever, she arranges several “accidents”, one of which culminates in Ruth joining Elvira. Now plagued by two jealous squabbling spirits, Charles bids them both farewell and his two wives are left petulantly tearing the house apart.
Ages can be varied according to who is interested in a part. Please, please come along if you are interested in taking part in this brilliant piece of classic theatre. Whether you are an existing member of Cheriton Players, or you are interested in joining, we would love to see you in July.
Summer 2010 – open air production at Cheriton Cottage
2011 sees the 50th anniversary of the Cheriton Players and we are really delighted and privileged to be invited to stage an open air production in June in the beautiful gardens of Cheriton Cottage, by kind permission of William and Nicola Cecil.
More details to follow but dates are 20th – 25th June 2011 and this is likely to be a show with some music and comedy; that’s all we can say at the moment, but as soon as we have more news we will let you all know.
