So, there's just one more rehearsal to go for "The Man In The Iron Mask" before we get into the theatre for show week. It has been a fantastic show to be involved with, with so many laughs along the way. The cast and director have worked so very hard, not only at lines and characterisation but also at whacking each other with huge great swords! The fight scenes have been great fun to be a part of and they will look spectacular on stage - I think there are 20 people with weapons of various sorts on stage at the same time in one scene! And it's not just stunts you can expect - it really is very funny with drama and romance along the way. What more could anyone ask for?
It has been a little while since The Company took on a swashbuckling spectacular like this (Treasure Island back in 2010) but it's what we do best. Please do get booking tickets so you don't miss out.
We're performing at The University Drama Studio from Wednesday 1st until Saturday 4th July.
Doors open at 7pm for a 7:30pm start. Tickets paid for on the door are £9 (£6 for students and OAPs) but if you book in advance via our website www.thecompanysheffield.co.uk or via this link http://www.skiddle.com/artists/the-company-123542647/ you save 50p per ticket.
Details of auditions for our October production of "The Hound Of The Baskervilles" will be coming around soon (or on display in the foyer of the theatre during show week - another reason to come along!) and if you ever want any more information about what we're doing and how you can get more involved, please email me at suzie@thecompanysheffield.co.uk
Thanks for your ongoing support.
