Redlynch Players are proud to announce that we will be performing The Titfield Thunderbolt by Philip Goulding for our Spring production. This fast paced, fun packed play is based on the classic Ealing comedy of the same name by T.E.B. Clarke.
The branch line between Mallingford and Titfield is losing money and British Rail have announced its’ imminent closure. In desperation the villagers, led by Lady Edna Chesterford and vicar, Sam Weech, exploit the 1947 Transport Act and decide to take charge and run it themselves – with a train resurrected from a local museum! As well as convincing the railway authorities that they are competent to work the line, they have to face problems from local chancer Vernon Crump who is set on providing a competitive bus service. Lloyd Perry is directing us and we are pleased to welcome new member Jenny Mason to the cast.
Tickets will be £12 and on general sale from Monday 3rd April 2023 with advanced sales for our patrons. Look out where to get them in social media and in our article next month.
We will be performing at 7:30pm on:
Wednesday, 24th May
Thursday, 25th May
Friday, 26th May
Saturday, 27th May
At Redlynch village hall.
It will be full steam ahead for a nostalgic evening of madcap merriment in May! Suitable for young and old do join us!
