Join Props Theatre Company in a week of special workshops to learn about, and perform parts from three of the most popular musicals ever — Bugsy Malone, Joseph, and Blood Brothers.

With the help of choreographers, and an artistic director from Anvil Productions, participants will develop a two hour show, incorporating treatments from each musical, and other cabaret style songs. There will be rehearsals on Fri 30 and Sat 31 July.

The show will be performed in the Ucheldre Centre on Saturdays 31 July at 7pm, and 21 August at 2pm.

Primarily for 10–16 year-olds, but over 16s more than welcome to join in.

This year students from Props Theatre School combined with the participants of the workshops at the Ucheldre to create a spectacular musical theatre treat.

Anvil Productions return for an entertaining summer weekend of drama, Shakespearean and Victorian.

Both performances are being performed outside in Ucheldre’s amphitheatre, so come suitably prepared, although if really foul weather the events will come inside.

Strolling Shakespeare is their first offering with jigs and musical scenes from some of Shakespeare’s most popular plays, linked by a clown and his company of strolling players. The performance includes sonnets and songs from Shakespeare, and scenes from, amongst others, Macbeth, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Romeo and Juliet, and Hamlet.

Anvil’s second outdoor production of the weekend is Victorian Theatre. A Master of Ceremonies, complete with bowler hat and gavel, will present a typical Victorian afternoon of entertainment, using the longest, and most obscure words he can find.

Includes Pierrot troupe performing scenes from Dickens, the story of Grace Darling, Commedia dell’arte, and the Music Hall, along with lots of silly jokes, slapstick, colourful costumes and singalong songs. Promises to be great fun for all the family.

A welcome return of the superb Actors of Dionysus with a production of Lysistrata in which the face of tragedy turns comic!

Lysistrata is as relevant today in its anti-war message as it was when written over 2400 years ago. The women of Greece, fronted by the heroine Lysistrata, deny their men sex until they sign a peace treaty to stop the war.

A deliciously irreverent, and delightfully raunchy take on Aristophanes’ most brilliant of comedies, in a highly physical, stunningly visual, and sparklingly slapstick production.

On the Edexel GCE A level syllabus.
