    20 March 2020: Coronavirus Update

     

     

     

     

    Today, in increasing efforts to contain and prevent the further spread of coronavirus, the Government has ordered all theatres to officially close until further notice. Although we would all wish that the “show could go on”, this is not possible at the present time – public health and safety must come before all else, though we share your disappointment at the necessary temporary halt to performances.

    Please keep watching for information of rearranged productions once these unprecedented measures have been lifted and offer your support where you can.

    The Scene One+ Team hope you stay well, comply with all the precautions that are being put in place for your safety in the meantime, and join us when the curtain goes up once more.

    The Importance of Being Earnest

    All Saints' Dramatic Society returns from lockdown with a production of Oscar Wilde's much-loved comedy of manners, 'The Importance of Being Earnest'.

    Two young gents have taken to bending the truth in order to put some excitement into their lives. Jack Worthing has invented a brother, Ernest, whom he uses as an excuse to leave his dull life behind to visit Gwendolen Fairfax in the town. Algernon Moncrieff decides to take the name Ernest when visiting Jack's young and beautiful ward, Cecily Cardew, in the country. Things start to go awry when they end up together in the country and their deceptions are discovered.

    The play is directed by Peter Nunan, while the cast includes John Sivewright and Jon Cockeram as the young bounders, Jack and Algernon, with Susanna Greenwood and Lauren Turner appearing as their love interests, Gwendolen and Cecily.  Mary Almeida features as the fearsome Lady Bracknell and additional support comes from Phil Vivian and Jenny Wise as Doctor Chasuble and Miss Prism, and Ian Bray and Mark Richards as the butlers, Lane and Merriman.

    'The Importance Of Being Earnest' opens on Wednesday 15th September at the De La Salle Theatre at St Peter's School, St Catherines Road, Southbourne, BH6 4AH, with further performances on Friday 17th and Saturday 18th September.  Evening performances are at 7.30pm, Saturday matinee at 2.30pm.  Box office opens 18th August, tickets cost £10 and can be bought by phone - 07548 100770 - or online at  https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/asds (online booking fee applies).

    The Pirates Of Penzance

    Written by W S Gilbert & Arthur Sullivan
    Directed by Clare Camble-Hutchins
    Musical Director: Helen Brind

    Pirates with sentimental hearts, blundering policemen, crazy adventures and improbable paradoxes. Gilbert and Sullivan’s comic The Pirates of Penzance is filled with fun and laughter.

    Frederic, a pirate’s apprentice, falls head-over-heels in love with Mabel, the daughter of Major-General Stanley.

    On his 21st birthday Frederic is finally due to be released from his apprenticeship.

    But being born on 29 February, a leap year, Frederic discovers that he is technically still way off being 21 years and is therefore still bound in his apprenticeship to the Pirate King.

    Although very much in love, he is dedicated to his duty and so remains with the Pirates, this action causes all sorts of complications and hilarity with Pirates versus Policemen.

    But who will triumph? And will Mabel and Frederic find their happy ever after?

    Come join Bournemouth GaSP for this swashbuckling show!

    Tickets: All performances Adults £22.50, Under 16s (when accompanied by an adult) £10; Available from Lighthouse Poole Ticket Office 01202 280000 (telephone booking fee applies) or online.

    Redlynch Players

    Talking Heads

    Written by Alan Bennett

    Join Redlynch Players for their autumn production, as they continue to celebrate their 65th anniversary. Step into the lives of three ordinary people, who are each concealing a far from ordinary secret!

    In Her Big Chance, Lesley is an actress who has just completed a video in which she plays Travis, a career girl who enjoys life. However, as she tells all, the question is, what has she really been involved in...

    In Bed Among The Lentils, Susan is a vicar’s wife suffocated by the expectations forced on her by her position and her husband’s over-zealous parishioners. When she meets Ramesh, the off-licence owner, what will she discover about herself…

    A Lady Of Letters, Miss Ruddock writes letters – letters of complaint, comment and, occasionally, officious praise to various businesses and government departments. However, what will happen when she writes one letter too many…

    Also features extracts from Alan Bennett’s diaries; bringing his much-loved musings right up to date. An evening not to be missed!

    This amateur production of Her Big Chance, Bed Among The Lentils and A Lady Of Letters is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd on behalf of Samuel French Ltd.

    Doors and Bar open @ 7.00pm (Cash/Card Bar & Raffle)

    Tickets available via phone (01725 510283) or email.

    Not Very Flash, Gordon!

    Planet Earth is under attack from evil overlord, Emperor Ping! Determined to hold our planet’s citizens to ransom by controlling all of Earth’s electricity, it seems as if nothing can save us, not even money-saving-expert Martin Lewis.

    Step forward bumbling electrician Gordon ‘Flash’ Bennett, his monosyllabic girlfriend, his man-mad mother and a German Professor!

    Our intrepid quartet boldly travel to Planet Pongo in (what else?) a converted Austin Mini van to save the day and keep Earth safe from Ping’s crazy demands.

    Along the way they meet a cast of characters including a dodgy pirate, a cat with a habit of telling dreadful jokes, Elvis Presley and many, many more.

    Join us for a family-friendly pantomime that is truly out of this world!

    Performances are in Durley Memorial Hall from 26 – 28 January 2023 at 7.30pm each evening, with a matinee at 2.30pm on the Saturday. Tickets are £10 (under 18s £8) and are available here (no booking fee), or email boxoffice@bishopstokeplayers.uk, or phone 07871 006551.

    As we are proud to have done every year since 1947, proceeds will be donated to the charity, Action for Children.

    Not Very Flash, Gordon!

    Written by Arnold Ridley
    Directed by Ed Funnell

    This February 2023 join The Lymington Players as they strand tired and cold passengers at an isolated train station in a chilling comedy thriller by Arnold Ridley.

    Who is the spooky Stationmaster that warns them of supernatural danger? Locked in, with no means of defence or escape, will they pull together to survive melancholy signals and chilling apparitions? As tensions mount, and they try to keep ghosts from getting in, will they make it to the morning? And what is the secret of ‘The Ghost Train’?

    The Ghost Train is performing in the Malt Cinema at the Lymington Community Centre from 30 January – 5 February 2023. Tickets are on sale from 18 December 2022, priced £10 for Centre members and £12 for non-members. Available via phone (01590 672337) or online.

    The Thrill Of Love

    By Amanda Whittington
    Directed by Rachael de Courcy Beamish

    This is a story of obsession:

    A gripping drama about Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be hanged in Britain.

    A divorcee with a young child to care for, Ruth works hard in the kind of nightclubs where there’s more than just a drink on offer. Then she meets the wealthy, womanising David, a racing driver with whom she falls head over heels with the myth of great, romantic love.

    Why does their relationship end in murder?

    Why does she plead not guilty but offer no defence?

    Why does she show no remorse?

    And who is she trying to protect?

    The Thrill Of Love explores the enigma of Ruth Ellis: a woman whose short but explosive life still resonates.

    Amanda Whittington is one of the UK's favourite and most performed modern dramatists. Her writing in this play accurately reflects the warmth, bitchiness and complexities of female friendship at a time when, even if women knew the rules of the game, they often still end up the losers in a man's world.

    Tickets: £12 (Concessions £9, Members £6) (booking fee applies); Available online.

    Bedroom Farce

    Written by Alan Ayckbourn
    Directed by Michelle Barter and Suzanne Viney

    One of the 20th century's classic comedy of manners comes to the Tivoli Theatre in February when Wimborne Drama Productions will perform Bedroom Farce by Alan Ayckbourn.

    Funny, gripping and acutely observed, Alan Ayckbourn’s play lifts the lid on the secrets of marriage. Over the course of one hilarious night, an outrageously selfish couple parade their problems around the bedrooms of three other couples, exposing the cracks in other people’s marriages as well as their own.

    Directed by Michelle Barter and Suzanne Viney, the play stars Richard Scotson and Rosie Nye as Trevor and Susannah, Tim Fearon and Judy Garrett as Ernest and Delia, James Renwick and Bethan Morris as Malcolm and Kate, and Colin Pile and Julie Sissons as Nick and Jan.

    Wimborne Drama Productions have chosen to revive the play which marked their first ever production at the then recently re-opened Tivoli Theatre in 1994.

    Bedroom Farce will be performed at the Tivoli Theatre from 23 – 25 February, with evening performances at 7.30pm (tickets £16) and a Saturday matinee at 2.30pm (tickets £14). Book via the Tivoli Box Office on 01202 885566 or online (booking fees may apply).

    One Day I'll Fly Away

    Written by Janet Shaw
    Directed by Len Reid

    One young woman, one old lady. Their lives were poles apart but fate took a hand and threw them together. The only problem being they were more alike than anyone could begin to imagine. Both had battled adversities beyond comprehension.

    When Kylie starts community service at the respite home she is thrown into the path of Nora, an embittered and hardened woman, who has spent her whole life teaching others and avoiding relationships of any kind.

    Nora lost her husband and only child in a boating accident many years ago and Kylie is the victim of an alcoholic and drug-addled mother. Nora and Kylie start off their relationship with mutual comic sarcasm and dislike, but as the story unfolds it becomes clear that although in different ways, they are both walking down the same path self-destruction.

    Tickets: £13; Available via phone (01425 542414) or online.
