April up-date

U3A Theatre Group –
Leader - Julie Horseman (02380 862704) Chris Farleigh (023 8086 2882)

A recent theatre enjoyed by members was A Clearing by Forest Forge Theatre Company plus the Totton Festival of Drama, all taking place at the Hanger Farm Arts Centre.
Winners of the festival were Maskers Theatre, runners up Chameleon Theatre Company.

Not quite so successful was the groups visit to the Nuffield Theatre to see ‘Paperweight’
We all felt we needed an adjudicator to explain the point of the performance. It could have been a lesson in audience manipulation or 2 guys indulging themselves at the expense of the audience – an Edinburgh Fringe piece we would not recommend
