Blithe Spirit Rehearsal Update

Rehearsals for our production of Blithe Spirit are progressing apace. A beautifully written script and a talented cast have come together to make the experience exhilarating and exciting. The script demands skilful characterisation and the ability to move confidently through a tightly choreographed performance.

The other main challenge of producing a period piece is making sure that it looks right. This puts a fair amount of pressure on the costume, prop and scenery department. There has been a flurry of activity on Facebook marketplace and scouring of the local charity shops. Costumes, particularly dresses, are best tackled by using vintage dress patterns and the recent interest in home sewing has assured their availability online.

Returning to the actors, however, the play would be nothing without their commitment and determination. They have another six weeks of hard work ahead of them before they can delight their audiences with their performance. Come and join us. Hopefully it will be a night to remember! In the meantime, take a sneak peek with some of our rehearsal pictures below.
