The curtain has come down on our spring production, a wry comedy by Gareth Armstrong. The show was headed up by Linda O'Byrne in her directorial debut at Cheriton. Linda is an established author of several books inspired by Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.
Fondly Remembered? – will he be or will the past overshadow the present? This is a wickedly funny play, full of revelations, revenge and reconciliation. It also asks us a simple question – is it ever too late to make amends and start again?
Here’s what our reviewers said:
“Fondly Remembered is a treat for theatre participants, theatre goers and, well, anyone with a sense of humour, really.” Read John Sivewright’s full review for Scene One + here.
And Jack Shaw of Southern Arts Reviews said “It’s always a pleasure to attend a production by the Cheriton Players. You’re guaranteed a warm welcome and a great night out, and last night’s performance of Fondly Remembered by Gareth Armstrong was no exception.” His full review can be read here.
