THE ACTONIANS' first production of this year is Agatha Christie’s murder-mystery, ‘The Hollow’, directed by award-winning director Bob Allen.
As always, the Actonians are creating an ambitious box set representing the garden room of the Angkatells’ eponymous home and Pat Stimson is busy designing and making much of the wonderful 50s garb to be worn by the cast. This period drama has all the characteristic hallmarks one associates with Agatha Christie – except Hercule Poirot! She never wanted ‘him’ to appear on stage and so she created Inspector Colquhoun in his stead.
Following on from this, our autumn production is the classic pantomime – ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’, written by one of our group, Dee Mason.
We are also running two exciting workshops for our members in the next few months. So if there are any budding actors out there, contact us via our website or come along to one of our regular Wednesday rehearsals in IAPH (from 7.30 pm). All comers welcome.
The Hollow, by Agatha Christie, takes place May 21-23 at Iron Acton Parish Hall.Vistis www.actonians.co.uk for tickets and more details or call 07807 547 238.
