Synopsis
We were all immensely disappointed not to be presenting Blood Brothers as previously planned. However this is an occasion when an opportunity is presented through a black hole appearing to re-discover what a wonderful community the Lewes Theatre Club is.When I announced to the cast and crew that we could not produce the show but I was offering an alternative virtually everyone said “right, the show must go on...what next”?
So we are offering an evening of Tom Stoppard for your enjoyment. The two plays featured will be the hilarious The Real Inspector Hound, in its entirety. This will be preceded by extracts from Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, Stoppard’s first professionally produced play, now 40 years old but with its humour and philosophy firmly intact.
There have been so many notes and calls of support and empathy from friends and members that we are confident that the production will be a major success, all we need now is for members to show their support and buy tickets. We promise to entertain you and also maybe provoke you a little.
The wonderful cast list includes well established favourites, John Whitley, Michael Bloom, Dudley Ward, Meg Depla Lake, Derek Watts, Lyndsey Meer and Paul Myles and exciting new comers, Phil Dunn, James Firth-Haydon, Lisa Bealby and Paul Wilkinson.
