Theatre company aims to make impact
Pickering’s touring theatre company Clap Trap Productions returns to the Milton Rooms Studio for two nights lsater this month and has a date in Helmsley.
The company presents Impact, a double-bill of two one-act plays.
Both plays have been specially written for the company by Tom Needham and Libby Pearson.
They tell of two deaths and two families.
Both portray very different stories of how lives can be changed in a second, and how an accident becomes a defining moment for a family.
Each play has its own cast of characters, its own defining events and its own dramatic outcomes.
What connects the two stories is the way each family is initially drawn together by tragedy and then sorely tested by the questions that have to be asked, the truth and lies they reveal and the life-changing decisions that have to be made.
Clap Trap, founded Gareth Jenkins and Cal Stockbridge, is now celebrating its 10th birthday.
“We’re thrilled to be marking ten years with these two new pieces of work and we look forward to many more years creating and touring intimate, engaging theatre for as wide an audience as possible,” said Cal.
Impact is at Helmsley Arts Centre on Friday November 4 at 7.30pm. Tickets on 01439 771700.
It is on at the Milton Rooms in Malton on Thursday November 10 and Friday November 11 at 7.30pm.
Tickets, priced £10, are available from the box office in Malton or by telephone 01653 696240.
There is music from trio Jaywalkers at the Milton Rooms on Friday November 18 at 7.30pm.
