Sedgefield Players Update
Summer doesn’t stop the Players
rehearsing, and the group is
currently preparing three plays for
the upcoming Festival in September.
SPYS will open the week-long
festival with an adaptation of
Madeleine L’Engle’s novel A Wrinkle
in Time, adapted by Morgan Gould.
This production is directed by Lucy
Atkinson and Kelsey White, who are
bringing this time-travelling story to
life.
They will be followed by the
Sedgefield Players production of
Rebellious Women by Beth Flintoff.
This powerful play depicts the
beginnings of the Suffragette
movement and includes some hardhitting
scenes and descriptions of
prison brutality. Directed by Sarah
Atkinson, it immerses the audience
in the action.
The final Players production is Far
Away, directed by Thomas Guest.
This play depicts a chilling world in
which everyone is at war, and not
even the birds in the trees or the
river below can be trusted.
The week of plays culminates in the
final adjudication and presentation
of awards on the final night.
Tickets are £10 per night, with a
Season Ticket available for £35,
which includes the final-night buffet.
Tickets can be purchased from
Back of Beyond Books (cash only)
or at www.ticketsource.co.uk. See
SedgefieldPlayers.co.uk for more
