A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen

Workshop to precede casting of this masterpiece.  See Future Productions for details.

Recruitment workshops
The twice yearly recruitment workshops provide an opportunity for new members to introduce themselves, and for us to introduce you all to the plays we will be producing in the following 6 months.  See 'Future productions for details.
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.
Of course, if you don't want to act but would like to help in other ways we'll be delighted to meet you and our workshops are ideal opportunities for this.
​​No experience necessary, total beginners and Oscar winners - all welcome!
The next general recruitment workshop is on 23 March but newcomers will be welcome at all of our workshops.

THE ROSES OF EYAM
-
​CANCELLED

By Don Taylor
Unitarian Meeting House, Churchgate St, Bury St Edmunds
7.30 pm Thursday to Saturday 27, 28 and 29 November with Saturday matinee starting at 2.30 pm.
A remarkable and true story of a village stricken with plague through the arrival from London of a box of clothing; of the villagers' determination, under the persuasions of the present and former Rectors, to prevent its spread by remaining within the village and containing the disease at the certain risk of their own lives; of the human tragedies and even comedies that ensued; of the idealism and the courage required to live with that idealism. 
A large cast will be performing this powerful play which is a set text in many schools for students of English Literature and Drama.
Group discounts available by arrangement.  Call 01359 259361
