2012 Programme Announced
RDG Has an exciting programme of plays planned for 2012
The year will kick off with our youth group The Sundowners presenting Disney's Alice In Wonderland Junior. Directed by Louise Dangel, this is sure to be a great hit with cast and audiences alike. February half term at the Rhoda McGaw Theatre, Woking.
Our entry into the Elmbridge Drama Festival in early March will be AN INCIDENT AT THE BORDER by Kieran Lynn directed by Judy Dolley. This is an absurd comedy with something to say.
Our main spring production at the end of March will be MAKING HISTORY by Brian Friel, author of Dancing at Lughnasa. Directed by Mark Humble, this will be presented at The Riverhouse Barn, Walton on Thames.
Returning to the Riverhouse in mid July, Faith Powell will be directing her first full length play for RDG - COLD COMFORT FARM by Paul Doust from the well-loved novel by Stella Gibbons. This comedy set in the 1930s has a large cast for all ages.
Next autumn we will be entering both Woking Drama Festival and Spelthorne and Runnymede Drama Festival with a humorous play by Louis de Bernieres - the author of Captain Correlli's Mandolin - called SUNDAY MORNING AT THE CENTRE OF THE WORLD which has a flexible cast playing multiple characters of all ages.
Our final production will be the hugely successful Calendar Girls by Tim Firth. This play has been released for amateurs for just one year and we will be performing this heart warming play at the Rhoda McGaw, Woking. The production will be in memory of our dear friend and active RDG member Jane Walters, who sadly died in April this year.
We are looking forward to a fun and lively year.
