Arts Update

Sedgefield Players Update

“The Trials of Goldilocks” has been another sold out panto success for Sedgefield Players. As always, we loved performing it and judging by the responses you loved being part of it too. Great show, great audiences, great fun and what a great way for young people to get their first experiences of theatre.But that is “so last year”! The next treat at your local theatre in March is Cranford by Laura Turner based on Elizabeth Gaskell’s novels.

This is a play full of the idiosyncratic details of life in a rural village where etiquette rules. There is a healthy amount of gossip through which the ideals of gentility and propriety of the women of Cranford are shown with great comic effect. We see the sweet pleasures and sometimes heart-breaking realities of simple village life of the era.

But Cranford’s unique, predominately female, society is thrown into disarray as modernity encroaches in the form of a new railway line and the men that its planning brings.This cracking modern adaptation by Laura Turner of what is essentially a Victorian soap opera, is full of humour and humanity and illuminates how people of any era cope with adversity and change.

It promises to be a truly delightful evening of entertainment.At the Parish Hall, Sedgefield 12-14 March at 7.30pm. Tickets for Cranford and for our June production of Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Earnest” are £10 from Back of Beyond Books or ticketsource.co.uk/sedgefield-players. Sedgefield Players

Sedgefield Rock & Blues club

The Big Wolf Band blew the roof off the Parish hall with a superb performance finishing with a standing overation. Next up is Kossoff the band plays on and this gig has been so popular that the reserve list for tickets is well in to double figures. We always advise to buy early to save disappointment.

The Night of the Musicals

Expect a spectacular night of song and showmanship when The Night of the Musicals arrives at Sedgefield Parish Hall on Friday 13 February.

Performed by a professionally trained cast fresh from sell-out shows and the Edinburgh Fringe, this dazzling concert features unforgettable hits from Wicked, Cabaret, Carousel, and more. It’s your chance to experience the magic of the West End—without leaving the village. One night only, so book early!
