Loft Theatre
Do you enjoy going to the theatre, but don’t care to go on your own?
A group of us from the u3a goes to all The Loft’s productions, so you can meet friendly faces in the section of the seating reserved for us and have a chat and a drink in the interval. You don’t have to ‘join’ the group – you can just come along – but if you do you will get emails about forthcoming productions. We usually go on Tuesday evenings and the next dates in our diary are:
Booking: To book as part of the WDu3a group, email Sue Hamilton at The Loft, at boxoffice@lofttheatrecompany.com, giving the reference and your phone number. The Loft will then ring you for payment. If you don't use email, call Sue Sheen or Ros Heron, who will contact Sue Hamilton for you.

| Tue May 7th | Bouncers (remix), by John Godber — Tuesday, 7 May, 7.30pm, £16 Booking deadline 30 April, ref WDu3a Bouncers party. An incredibly well-written, hilarious 1977 comedy, updated to the nightclub scene of today, with giggly girls, lads on the make, a smooth-talking DJ against the flashing lights and pulsating heat of a local club. Booking: To book as part of the WDu3a group, email Sue Hamilton at The Loft, at boxoffice@lofttheatrecompany.com, giving the reference and your phone number. The Loft will then ring you for payment.

| Tue Jun 11th | The Government Inspector, by Nikolai Gogol £16 Booking deadline 4 June, ref WDu3a Inspector party The corrupt officials of a small Russian town, headed by the equally suspect Mayor, react with despair to the news that an incognito Government Inspector will soon be arriving to investigate them. Panicking, they attempt to cover up their considerable misdeeds, interrupted by the news that a suspicious person arrived two weeks previously from Saint Petersburg and is staying at the local inn. Is this the dreaded Inspector? Originally published in 1836, the play is a comedy of errors, satirizing human greed, stupidity, and the extensive political corruption of Imperial Russia. Imaginative and with beautifully realised characters and sparkling dialogue, this new version is not to be missed. |
