Philomena (2013) - Fri 25th April

FWhen former journalist Martin Sixsmith is dismissed from the Labour Party in disgrace, he is at a loss as to what do. That changes when a young Irish woman approaches him about a story of her mother, Philomena, who had her son taken away when she was a teenage inmate of a Catholic convent. Martin arranges a magazine assignment about her search for him that eventually leads to America. Along the way, Martin and Philomena discover as much about each other as about her son's fate. Furthermore, both find their basic beliefs challenged.

How far that little candle throws its beams! So shines a good deed… William Shakespeare

As you know work has been going on over the last few months at our theatre and some of our members led by our Vice Chairman - Andy Terry - have been working extremely hard to finish off the interior renovations. Because of their work we have managed to save a few thousand pounds but in order to complete the work we need to raise £6000 to buy materials and flooring.

SO… for the curtain to rise for future productions we need quite a few little candles (but larger candles will obviously spread a bigger beam!) to light the way! If you would like to be a star and feel you can support your theatre by sending a donation or perhaps by becoming a life member we would not only be delighted but give you a standing ovation!
