Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Snow!

Always a nice "picture" - as long as you don't have to travel through it! If you have to, save journey and take care.

Merry Christmas - will it be a white one?

CHARING GUILD OF PLAYERS ALL AT SEA!

For a few days in February, the wooden beams of the Church Barn will be transformed into the deck of a pirate galleon when The Guild Of Players present a rollicking version of Robert Louis Stevenson's 'Treasure Island'.

Adapted from the original novel by Phil Wilmott, this swashbuckling stage adaptation was premiered at London's South Bank Festival in 2005 and, inspired by real-life 18th Century female adventurers, the show includes a significant number of glamerous female pirates among the cast.

With 21 characters to cast, director Gill Magson suspected that she may not be able to fill all the
roles but due, either to the King's shilling or the adventurous nature of the good folk of Charing,
The Guild has recruited a wealth of new talent, all eager to strut their stuff!

Treasure Island takes to the stage of The Church Barn on

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, February 3rd to 6th at 7.30pm with a matinee on Saturday 6th at 2.30pm.

Tickets cost £7 with a £5 concession price. The Guild is delighted that Wood You Like in School Road has offered to run the box office for this production and tickets will be available from their shop from Monday January 18th (see here for more details)

Further information can be found on The Guild's website 

The Guild will also be promoting the show, in approptriate pirate costumes, at The Ladies Of The Lights Magical Evening.
