New Era Players invite you to our Improv in Drama sessions. Maybe you quite fancy trying your hand at drama, but don’t want to learn lines or face an audience? This could be just the spontaneous, fun and friendly activity for you! Sessions are fortnightly on Mondays at the New Era Theatre, Andover Road, Wash Common, Newbury RG14 6NU. Come and join us from 7-8pm, sessions
are free for members and £3 for non-members. Please contact the organiser, Neil, rather than just turning up as dates are sometimes subject to change. For more information please contact Neil Taylor on 07761 061545 or email
Compton Players' next production at the end of October is Dracula. The popularity of Bram Stoker’s 1897 horror romance is as eternal as any vampire. Its enduring appeal has seen countless film and stage adaptations, and more than a century after it first appeared in print Compton Players present a new adaptation to delight and terrify their audience.
Russell Players' next production between 19th and 23rd October in Swallowfield is The Invitation. This light-hearted play is a familiar bride-to-be situation with the bride-to-be struggling to get the wedding she wants despite having an over-enthusiastic and over-helpful mother. Eve is working hard on her wedding day plans which seem to involve doing everything her mother wants regardless of how Eve feels about it. Eventually, Eve’s creativity takes over, and the plans change in rather surprising ways.
