JOINING BTWUnitarian Meeting House, Churchgate St, Bury St Edmunds
7.30 pm til 9.30 pm Monday 25 October 2021 Come and take part! New and old members alike will be warmly welcomed at our autumn cast-finding workshop. If you have been thinking about taking up or resuming your theatre involvement during the tedious hours of lockdown, this is the place to start! At the workshop we will introduce plays for the first half of 2022, including our show for the Theatre Royal in May which will be A Bunch of Amateurs by Ian Hislop and Nick Newman. We'll also introduce other productions we have in mind. These are for performance at the UMH and the Abbey Gardens. The normally twice yearly recruitment workshops provide an opportunity for new members to introduce themselves, and for us to introduce all of our members to the plays we have scheduled for the months ahead. Everyone is encouraged to attend so that we can keep you all in mind when it comes to getting you involved in plays. Workshops are fun and nobody is placed under any pressure but we'd love to get to know you and figure out how best we can give you some of the enjoyment of taking part either on or off stage, as you prefer. No experience necessary, total beginners and Oscar winners - all welcome!

Quartermaine's Terms
by Simon Gray Thursday 14 to Saturday 16 October
Superficially, Quartermaine’s Terms is a light comedy about a group of educated, often eccentric, English characters in an academic backwater in the early sixties.
Both funny and sad, the play is unfashionably low-key and focuses on the minutiae of private behaviours and personalities. Through the depiction of the drama and mystery that exist in seemingly mundane lives, the play shows how the selfish pursuit of personal ambition can sometimes ruin the lives of milder, less forceful people in barely perceptible ways. ‘A masterly portrayal of an innocent’ as Harold Pinter said of the title character. A gentle and thoughtful entertainment for an autumn evening. Tickets: £12.50 adults, £10 for under 21’s and Saturday matinee. Under 12's FREE
Shows start 7.30 pm evenings and 2.30 pm Saturday matinee. Please note: We are informed by email when you buy tickets through PayPal. So you only have to tell us your name when you arrive. Or print off your PayPal receipt. Thank you!
