OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODS
Written by Joe DiPietro, directed by Tony Saxby
Performances 24th - 27th July 2024
(Audition information here)
Nick’s loving grandparents never let him forget where he belongs – in New Jersey in the bosom of his tenacious, tender-hearted, loud, loving and well-fed Italian- American family. But when Nick is offered his dream job on the other side of
America, Frank, Aida, Emma and Nunzio cook up schemes to keep him where he is.
This is a warm-hearted, boisterously funny and touching story about intergenerational relationships, deep familial love, and the inevitable little heartbreaks that occur as time passes and children grow.
THE FATHER
Written by Florian Zeller and Christopher Hampton, directed by Mel Richards
Performances 13th to 16th November 2024
(Auditions TBC)
A psychological drama, The Father offers an unsentimental, emotionally intense look at the world through the eyes of a man experiencing dementia. In this sobering family story, Andre refuses all assistance from his daughter as he ages. As he tries to make sense of his changing circumstances, he begins to doubt his loved ones, his own mind and even the fabric of his reality.
The play was adapted for film in 2020 and was nominated for six Oscars, winning two including Best Actor for Anthony Hopkins’ portrayal of the lead, Andre.
