In Production
HOME, I'M DARLING
Our next production will be the comedy Home, I'm Darling by Laura Wade.
In an ideal 1950s kitchen, doting housewife Judy is making breakfast for her husband Johnny before he heads off to work in his best suit and tie, his lunchtime sandwiches in his briefcase.
But all is not quite as it seems in this thought-provoking comedy which was originally written for, and premiered at, the National Theatre of Wales in 2018. It subsequently transferred to the Royal National in London before embarking on a national tour.
In 2019 it won the Olivier Award for Best Comedy and has only very recently been released for amateur productions. We are therefore delighted to be able to present this wonderful new play in March and hope you will all come along to see it!
Home, I'm Darling can be seen at the Public Hall from 20th to 23rd March. Tickets are now on sale and can be booked through our online box office or in person from Witham Town Hall.
Our Last Production
LADIES DAY
The audience were greeted with a split set when they arrived for Ladies' Day; a representational fish processing factory on stage but wide steps leading down to an area of grass. The reason for this would soon become apparent as the ladies working in the factory took themselves off to the races!
The four ladies of the cast were played by newcomers Susan Fitch-Bartlett and Natasha Sanderson alongside the rather longer-standing Amanda Bedwell and Carolyn Hurley. The two men in the cast, Daniel James and Tony Szalai, were also new to the Witham club and between them played six very different parts.
The play was directed by Jacqui Brown, assisted by Aimee Sanderson, with stage manager Graeme Parrett providing the backstage support needed for a play that moved from location to location without a break. Overall the response from the audience was very positive and we can chalk this one up as another success for the Club!
Looking Ahead
LOOKING AHEAD
With Home I'm Darling now into production we will be turning our thoughts to plays for June and November 2024. As soon as we have finalised our plans they will be revelaed here first.
