We started this year with a visit to the Bridge Theatre in August to see a revival of A Midsummer Night’s Dream – an excellent production and well attended and enjoyed by all. Our next trip wasn’t until 18th December and it was Shakespeare again! A great production and very seasonal and this time we went to The Barbican. In January we went to Sadler’s Wells to see Matthew Bourne’s Company in The Red Shoes – another brilliant production and a great pick-me-up for January.
Our next visit is in March to see The Producers at the Garrick Theatre – a revival of the musical comedy. In the middle of March a large party is going to see the revival of Oliver! This has been long- awaited as we booked very early. Then, at the end of April, we are off to the Bridge Theatre again to see Into the Woods by Stephen Sondheim – we are all looking forward to that one.
So that’s all in the pipeline but I do hope we are able to find two suitable performances for late Spring/early Summer. We are in the foyer every Wednesday to take bookings and announce new productions. If you are not likely to be there, you should give Linda your e-mail address for notifications. We prefer to take payments by bank transfer – details available – as banks now charge for cheques. But, of course, cheques and cash are acceptable. Please note that this group has a separate bank account so details are not the same as the main account. We are fortunate to be able to take advantage of group bookings through our agent who specialises in bookings for u3a groups and we often get very good rates for the best seats. Coach prices are very competitive at present but we do our best to seek the best value with reliable companies with good drivers.
So, if you haven’t joined us before, do come along. We can usually accommodate about 45 people, based on size of coach. Prices include best seats, coach travel from two pick-up points in Hatfield and Welwyn Garden City and driver gratuity. The visits are usually, but not exclusively, matinees.
The group is led by Pamela Williams and Linda Kent-Taylor.
