A message from Steven Wells (edited slightly to clarify):
With the kind co-operation of the Vicar of Whitchurch, Kelvin Inglis, and the support of the Rural Dean we are pleased to announce the initial plans for a Whitchurch Community Play (note from editor: WADS has been putting on community plays for over 50 years; this is the first “community play” run by the All Hallows church).
A production of Murder In The Cathedral by T. S. Eliot will take place in the Parish Church, All Hallows, week commencing Monday 14th September.
It will be a totally open production with actors, designers and theatrical support drawn from the whole town. Auditions and casting will take place in July and will be open to all with the parts being given to the best actors we can find. All ages will be welcome.
Being a Community Play we hope to involve all aspects of the local community including schools, businesses, local groups etc and really hope as many people as possible will want to play an active part in this one-off event. All profits will go to local hospices.
We will shortly be announcing an inaugural meeting to establish a committee to help to decide the basis on which we will operate. Kelvin Inglis has already agreed to act as the Chair for this meeting.
Anyone interested in helping with this project can contact me for further information.
