Sharing your memories of Little Theatre

-

“The theatre doesn’t have a central archive, so a lot of effort has gone into obtaining photos and programmes.

“We have collected a huge amount of material, representi­ng the theatre’s activities over many decades.

“We are now asking for the public’s help to complete the project,” he said.

The next play at the theatre is Entertaini­ng Angels, directed by Sue Morris.

As a vicar’s wife, Grace has spent a lifetime on her best behaviour. Now following her husband’s death, she is enjoying the new-found freedom to do and say exactly as she pleases.

The return of Grace’s eccentric missionary sister, Ruth, prompts some disturbing revelation­s, which force her to confront the truth of her marriage.

It runs from Monday, February 24 to Saturday,

February 29. The company then presents Eric Chappell’s Wife After Death from Monday, April 20 to Saturday, April 25. Comedian and national treasure Dave Thursby has died, and on the day of his funeral, friends and colleagues gather beside his coffin to pay their last respects. An unfamiliar woman in flamboyant mourning clothes turns out to be Kay, Dave’s ex-wife from before he was famous, causing the guests to wonder if they ever knew the “real” Dave.

Three weeks later, they gather again for the disposal of Dave’s ashes.

The atmosphere is tense, but as more truths are revealed, Dave seems to be having the last laugh, from beyond the grave.
