#britishtheatre — Public Fediverse posts

A huge thank you to Sweet Memory- the sweet shop in Fore Street for hosting our plant stall-
£21.50 raised for our theatre work over the weekend
There are lots of lovely plants there- cooking herbs and garden plants , replenished every few days as current plants sell . Prices from £1 to £4. Every penny goes into funding rehearsal space/ costuming/ insurance and keeping our theatre work running.

Rehearsals are coming along for The Scarlet Pimpernel.

Wednesday was a fantastic evening of workshopping scenes, the dance choreography for the Princess of Wales’ ball, created by Sophia, and the final fight between Chauvelin & Sir Percy during the mob storming the prison.

Our cast worked their socks off, and this is going to look absolutely incredible.

Meantime the costume team are putting things together for the cast, and the costume designs are absolutely stunning.

Setting up for our performance of Jekyll & Hyde at the Muse Theatre in Plymouth last night. (Find the rest of our tour dates at https://www.southdevonplayers.com/box-office.html) - our production team is small but mighty #talented #brixham #theatre #devon #britishtheatre #jekyllandhyde #behindthescenes

On Monday we were thrilled to bring some of our amazing actors to perform excerpts of Jekyll & Hyde to Brixham Good Companions at Brixham United Reformed Church. Jan, who owns the cafe Flour Flower, sent these pictures she grabbed of some of our actors, and sent this wonderful feedback screenshotted as well.

While as a rule we only do full scale performances, we do take two or three excerpt performances to local community charities to help show what we do, and Brixham Good Companions is one of our regular stops in this list. Thank you so much to Jan and everyone for making us so welcome - see you in the Spring, with excerpts from The Scarlet Pimpernel

Meanwhile, to the delighted admiration of the British theatre industry, the satirical persona West End Producer, who for a decade plus has amused us on Twitter, writing for The Stage, publishing books, and with a one man show, as well as turning up in person at events, has taken off his mask to reveal actor Christian Edwards, who managed to stay anonymous and hilarious for all this time. What a performance - dear! #acting #satire #BritishTheatre #WestEndProducer #dear

Absolutely fabulous start to our rehearsals for William Shakespeare’s Macbeth which is shaping up to be our biggest ever show run.
