Death by Design - the last night.

Death by Design closed this evening after 3 excellent shows. Our following is increasing every performance and tonight was very well attended in spite of heavy rain and sleet.
Here are a few images from the dress rehersal:

Less than a month to the opening night and rehersals are well under way.

Death by Design

A lot has happened since my last blog. Due to unforeseen circumstances we had to postpone our production of Murder by Design in December 2015. Happily we were able to start rehearsal again in January and we are due to take to the stage at The Rose Theatre from 14th to 16th April.
Rehearsals are going with a bang with everyone now well into their various characters.

The set is almost finished and we are busy sourcing the outstanding pieces of furniture. It remains to be seen whether it goes together seamlessly on the 10th!

After a fraught journey to Nottingham to select costumes Alison has managed to sort appropriate clothing for everyone. Sue has a good range of extravagant hats!

I took photos at rehearsal this Wednesday and will post a selection later this evening.

Our next production will be Death By Design by Rob Urbinati - a comedy with murder.

This will take place at The Rose Theatre, Rose Hill, Chesterfield on 3rd 4th and 5th December 2015.

Think Noel Coward meets Agatha Christie to get an idea of what this play has to offer.

We still need to cast a middle aged male politician and a young male revolutionary and invite actors in these age groups to contact us.
Phone Heather on 07973 284518 or 01246 620950 or just come along to our meetings at St. Mark's Church, St. Mark's Rd. Brampton. We meet at 7.30 on Thursdays and are a very friendly bunch!

Rehearsals are going well on our current production of Death by Design a whodunnit set in the country  house of play write and leading lady couple, Edward and Sorel Bennet. Simon and Sue are relishing the repartee as theatrical husband and wife and Joanne has us in stitches as the maid.
We are about to introduce a second rehearsal night in addition to our regular Thursday night meeting at St. Mark's church.
We are once again looking for a young(ish) male to play the part of the chauffeur. This is a small speaking part but vital to the development of the plot!
Anyone with some evenings to spare over the next ten weeks and free during the first week in December contact Heather on 01246620950 or 07973284518.
