Theatre in the Dock

Hi, this just to flag up a (nearly) new event. It's actually the third year that Tooley's historic dry dock has replaced boats, blacking and big spannery things with a stage, actors, some lights and an audience, but, this year will have much more on offer with Mikron, Life and Times, Debs Newbold, Roundham Lock and Muddy Waters (think Thomas the Tank Engine with locks) all confirmed and a couple more in the pipeline. We have an initial web page - Theatre in the Dock - just the basics at the moment, but lots more will be added, plus a facebook page and you can follow us on Twitter: @theatreinthedoc to see more of the planning as it happens.

 

Thought I would mention it now, to give you time to get there!

 

Love to hear from anyone thinking of coming.

Kate

 

(Wot is organising it on behalf of Matt Armitage at Tooley's because he is busy doing the stuff with the big spanners. He had a huge one on the counter on Saturday - wish I'd thought to take a picture of it...)

Thank you PJ!

 

Clearly I need help with marketing! Any offers...

I expect it is because I am only a junior member :-)

The last bit of the programme is now in place - a trio of short plays inspired by the writings of Tom Rolt - did you know he wrote ghost stories??

 

I'll put the complete line up herep in the next few days, somehow it has got rather too late to concentrate just now!!

Obviously not quite long enough and didn't make it to Banbury ;)

I'd like to blame the lack of water in the Oxford at the moment! But sadly, their flautist has a family thing to attend to... however, I have every hope of putting it on somewhere soon - perhaps at Shipton for an autumn or winter night out.

 

See you soon - is Ocelot still looking as shiny?? :cheers:

Well... it's nearly here! The dock is empty, drying out and having a bit of a tidy.

 

first up, tomorrow (Thursday 21st)at 8pm is:

 

"Short Cuts"

 

A trio of short plays inspired by the work of LTC Rolt presented by ZeroSeefr

 

A travelling writer of ghost stories and his wife prepare to embark on their honeymoon down the canal; An heir to a fortune discovers a mysterious music box on his estate; spectres haunt lonely railway tracks as the age of steam lives out its last days and a rambler is led by distant lights into the heart of an inexplicable storm... ZeroSeefr and Theatre in the Dock present an evening of chilling real-life stories in the darkness (bar a few nearby street lights that is!) of Tooley's dockyard, followed by a sharing of scary stories - Bring a cushion to hide behind and a tale of your own to tell! Suitable for all ages.

 

Tickets £8/£6 available on the door from 7pm - and there's a bar to refresh you!

 

Any queries, please do message me and look forward to seeing you there.

 

Kate
