Our Next Production
TILL THE STARS COME DOWN
It's Sylvia and Marek's wedding. Over the course of a hot summer's day, a family gathers to welcome a newcomer into their midst. But as the vodka flows and the guests hit the dancefloor, passions boil over and the limits of love are tested.Beth Steel's heartbreaking, hilarious portrayal of a larger-than-life family struggling to come to terms with a changing world opened at the National Theatre, London, in January 2024.
The recent auditions were well-attended and an excellent cast gas been assembled by director Nigel Northfield. Rehearsals will start in earnest in September but we have plenty of preparation work to do before that, especially regarding some of the technical aspects that have to be worked out!
This new play by Beth Steele is being presented at the Public Hall from the 18th to the 21st Noveber. Tickets will be on sale shortly.
Our Last Production
THE LAST RETURN
Our most recent production was The Last Return which, although being a somewhat 'off-the-wall' play, was very well received by our audiences.
It was great to see another new face on stage for us, in the shape of Peter Ringwood who was not just making his Witham debut, but appearing on stage for the first time ever.
Alongside this newcomer were the more familiar faces of Daniel James, Edward Groombridge, Corinna Groombridge and, with yet another huge part that saw her on stage from start to finish, Lucy Parrett (her daughter Katie also made a brief appearance as an uncredited character simply called "Girl" at the very end of the play).
The minimalist set represented the foyer of a regional theatre using just a tickets desk, some stool and illuminated signage. Simple in principal but a special mention must go to Kris Knox0Crichton for he splendid Art Deco inspired design!
Looking Ahead
2027
Next March we will be presenting yet another brand new release that had a fantastic run in the West End, the thriller 2.22 A Ghost Story. We will publish more details about this towards the end of the year.
