A CHEQUE for £120 has been presented by Wellington Theatre Company to the town’s nationally-recognised dementia charity Reminiscence Learning.
The money was raised during the theatre company’s most recent production of the Coarse Acting show - ‘a 4-Box Set’.
It is about to start preparations for the next show, which will be ‘Habeas Corpus’, Alan Bennett's first play, a comedy set in Brighton in the 1960s.
The play portrays the lust and longing of the permissive society having well and truly taken hold of the apparently respectable Wicksteed family.
With a succession of characters ranging from a rampant doctor and a randy vicar to a frustrated flat-chested spinster and a baffled domestic cleaner, this rollicking farce was said to be as saucy and English as a seaside postcard.
A read-through will be held at Wellington Arts Centre on Friday, March 3, at 7.30 pm and auditions take place on Tuesday and Friday March 14 and 17.
The show will run from June 14 to 17.
