Calling all technical people
Anyone interested in any aspect of technical work is invited to get in touch with Aidan Moran (0118 901 8456). We have dedicated three productions this season to be training shows so that people can learn 'on the job' under the supervision of experienced people. Do take this opportunity to widen your pool of talents.
Back-Eye Revised and Devised
For their winter term production, the Youth Theatre has been devising on themes from The Bacchae and has come up with an exciting and innovative piece of theatre bringing Euripides’ classic Greek tragedy frighteningly up to date. The piece is fully-scripted directly from the students devising work, so they are responsible for both the content and performance of this piece.
Performances take place at Park United Reformed Church, Palmer Park Avenue, 14th – 15th December, 8.00pm. Tickets £7 and £5 concs, available on the door.
This forms the second half of a project, as we were delighted to take part in the Shine Festival in October, presenting a shorter section of the piece in the first Shine 2, Spoken Word Festival. The organisers were very keen to have us back next year and we hope to make this a long-standing relationship with Shine.
So come along and support the students and see the full version in all its glory!

Jungle Book Update
Preparations for the Jungle Book are almost complete.Working with Stuart Paterson’s adaptation of one of Kipling’s most endearing works the younger members of the cast have come to appreciate the real story. They came expecting Disney and have found a powerful story of love, betrayal, loyalty, revenge and courage. It has all the ingredients of a true adventure and will appeal to adults and children alike. Ali and Liz say that it has sent them back to re-discover the original stories which, if each were included, would fill several plays. However, Paterson has captured the essence of the original. Be warned – it’s definitely not Disney!
Performances are Friday 28th December to Saturday 5th January. Matinees will be on 29th and 30th December and 1st and 5th January. No performances on 31st December or evening performance 1st January.
Evening performances are at 7.45pm; matinees at 2.00pm.

Book now for Jungle Book
JUNGLE BOOK
By Rudyard Kipling
adapted by Stuart Paterson
Rehearsals are well under way and we are delighted that the promising script is being brought to life by some strong characters. Our younger members are learning that Kipling’s story is very different from the Disney version and have started to enjoy the powerful language and the unfolding dilemma of Mowgli. There is adventure, friendship and some scary stuff. We think that some children under five might find a few scenes a bit frightening (although many seem to watch Dr Who without flinching!)
There is an early bird booking offer. Tickets booked before 10th December will be £7.00 for concessions and £8.50 for adults.
Book soon – save money!

This production starts on Monday 19th. This is a powerful piece of theatre and is an excellent choice for the Progress stage. Book now to see this award winning play.
In a London psychiatric hospital, a young black patient claims to be the son of Idi Amin, a seemingly far-fetched story that starts to become surprisingly plausible. Two psychiatrists are at odds as to whether his discharge should go ahead. Is he schizophrenic, or has he just suffered an isolated episode?
