Reading for The Wind in the Willows

Our next play will The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Graham, adapted by Alan Bennett. We are looking for a talented, energetic cast from age 16+ who will bring this story to life and delight our audience of all ages. We will be holding a play reading for any interested actors on Wednesday 28th May at 8pm in the Tilford Institute.

The performances will be on 27th-29th November, with a matinee on the Saturday. Please click here for more details of the parts and alternative reading arrangements.

Reading for The Public Eye

On 5th and 6th of September there will be a Late Summer Theatrical Event, and the read through/audition for one of the plays, The Public Eye by Peter Shaffer, will be on Tuesday 17th of June at the earlier time of 7:30 in the Tilford Institute. It will be directed by Ellis Nicholls. The play has parts for two men and one woman: Julian, a private detective, Charles, his client, and Belinda, Charles' wife.

Ellis writes: 'This comedy about marriage, trust and relationships offers good characterisation of the three players, shown by the original 1962 casting of Kenneth Williams as Julian, Richard Pearson as Charles, and Maggie Smith as Belinda. The dialogue in The Public Eye flows smoothly, with hints of the absurd and surreal, but always moving along and giving each of the characters an equal section of the play. There is no 'lead' character. The only age requirement is that Belinda is clearly younger than Charles.'
