This is our biggest production yet, and we’re creating an amazing ambience in the Theatre with music of the era, battle sounds, visits from ‘The Trench Experience’, Reservists, Veterans, Combat Stress, SSAFA and the Royal British Legion …. You’ll have to experience it to believe it!
Directors idea for the set ..
We are a not-for-profit, professional Theatre Company, serving the local community with popular, entertaining and thought-provoking theatre. Through our association with LAUNCHPAD, we offer young people work experience and a chance to build up confidence. We also use local talent backstage and on-stage, and are bringing seasonal repertory theatre back into fashion! You’ll have a great evening!
This Summer (2018) we’re in two venues. We’ve been invited to perform JOURNEY’S END in the theatre in Therfield School in Dilston Road, North Leatherhead, the town’s large secondary school, and we’re also touring to the main house in the Leatherhead Theatre, Church Street, right in the town centre. Both great venues for our gripping new production.
