I have been in a few plays

Some Am-Dram is very good.

The eve of my leaving Manchester, I went to see a performance by Stockport Players at The Garrick, of 'Accidental Death of an Anarchist'.

It must have been good for me to have remembered it over so many decades.

Saw a brilliant interpretation of 'The Importance of Being Earnest' in mid 1980's at Theatre Royal, Lincoln, by Hinge and Bracket, which some of you may recall from their Radio 4 days.

Unfortunately not on Youtube. Bit too early for World Wide Web, which only around the following decade. Not to be seen again following demise of Patrick Fyffe, sadly.

'The Importance of Being Earnest' was first thing I saw on stage, when we had a school outing to a performance. I had thought we went to Liverpool Everyman, but not possible as it was before Everyman's time. (According to Wiki, it only opened 1964)

Should recruit Theresa May. She was able to act as if she were competent for almost a year before people sussed her!

WLT is planning a great new series of social events which will include theme nights, race nights quizzes and cabaret in the bar ‘Next Door’. The first event is a Bingo, Beetle and Dominos Night on Sat 23rd Sept, so please join us.

We’re also planning the ‘Tuesday Matinee’ where members and friends will meet ‘Next Door’ to explore plays, poetry and prose. You can refresh your acting/public speaking skills or fulfil your ambition to get involved with the theatre. The first session is at 2pm on 12th September and every second Tuesday of the month. Refreshments will be available.

2pm for plays, poetry and prose and themed nights are usually 7.30pm to be confirmed

We hope our members, friends and patrons will join us so keep your eye on the web site/facebook and for posters for updates.
