The passing of a legend

May 25, 2020, Posted in  News & Events

It is with great sadness that we must report the passing of our beloved Grahame Nightingale. Anyone fortunate enough to have “experienced” Grahame in any one of the many, many productions that he has blessed with his talent will appreciate the loss felt by all of us.

In these difficut times we are limited in how we can celebrate such a great man. In due course we will arrange a proper send off in true TADS style, but for now, anyone wishing to may make a contribution to Grahame and Dinahs chosen Charity: Cynthia Spencer Hospice

Spring Play Cancellation

March 17, 2020, Posted in  News & Events

It is with great sadness that Thrapston Amateur Dramatic Society announces the postponement of its Spring Play.

It has not been an easy decision but the wellbeing and safety of our members, volunteers and audiences is our upmost priority and following government advice to limit social gatherings and to close theatres, we feel it would be irresponsible to continue with the production at the current time.

We would encourage you to keep in contact as we want to do our bit to support and entertain our local community and will be looking for ways to do this which are safe for both us and our loyal supporters. Further announcements on the status of future productions will be made as and when we are able to clarify.

Spring play update & Auditions!

February 10, 2020, Posted in  News & Events

After much discussion and deliberation, we have decided to change our previously advertised spring play to “Wild Goose Chase”, a farce by Derek Benfield.

“Chester Dreadnought bluffs his way into the crumbling stately home of an aristocratic family, and even a trigger-happy belted Lord suffering from hallucinations cannot keep at bay the enterprising pair of Jewel thieves who are pursuing their loot – not to mention Chester – round the castle. Suits of armour and secret doors, mistaken identities and dotty servants all help to provide the variety of fare that goes to the making of this wild goose chase.”

Show dates will be Wednesday 20th to Saturday 23rd May 2020.

Auditions will take place on Wednesday February 12th at 7.30pm at the Woolpack, Islip.

Murder In Play

October 21, 2019, Posted in  News & Events

Ticket sales are now open for Thrapston Amateur Dramatic Society’s next production of “Murder In Play” by Simon Brett . The show is directed by James MacWilliam and will be performed at the Thrapston Plaza from Wednesday 13th – Saturday 16th November 2019. Doors open at 7pm, performance starts at 7:30pm sharp.

Boris Smolensky’s budget repertory production of “Murder at Priorswell Manor” is looking decidedly shaky. The cast are more interested in their egos than the play and life imitates art when Boris’s wife, Renee, is murdered on stage...

Just Between Ourselves..

February 18, 2019, Posted in  News & Events

Ticket sales are now open for Thrapston Amateur Dramatic Society’s next production of “Just Between Ourselves” by Alan Ayckbourn. The show is directed by Connor Jeffery and will be performed at the newly refurbished Thrapston Plaza from Wednesday 20th – Saturday 23rd March 2019. Doors open at 7pm, performance starts at 7:30pm sharp.

Dennis spends his spare time messing about in his untidy garage, indifferent to the fact that his wife is being driven to distraction and beyond by his possessive mother. The hidden tension and antagonisms under an apparently normal surface build up to a climax of bizarre violence and madness.

Tickets may be purchased via our Box Office Line on 07543 321219 or through our online booking facility at http://tadsthrapston.org.uk/tickets...

Autumn Update

October 16, 2018, Posted in  News & Events

We at TADS would like to apologise for the lack of updates and information surrounding our recent activities.

Following on from the successful audition of ‘Abigail’s Party’ at the beginning of September, we discovered we were unable to obtain a licence for the play due to a professional production touring in the near future. A meeting was held to consider whether we should persevere with an Autumn play, and having made the decision to do this we successfully auditioned and cast ‘Just Between Ourselves’ by Alan Ayckbourn.

This initial problem lead to a delay in our usual booking procedure, and although the play dates were already booked we found we were unable to book our normal venue, The Plaza, for any of our required set build dates or technical rehearsals in the way we have pr...

Confusions!

October 24, 2017, Posted in  Uncategorized

Ticket sales are now open for Thrapston Amateur Dramatic Societies’ next production of “Confusions” by Alan Ayckbourn. The show is co-directed by Hazel Wright and James Ager and will be performed “in the round” at the Thrapston Plaza from Wednesday 15th – Saturday 18th November 2017. Doors open at 7pm, performance starts at 7:30pm sharp.

Confusions is a set of four interlinked one act plays: Mother Figure, Drinking Companions, Between Mouthfuls and Gosforth’s Fete. Each play deals riotously, but with sharply pointed undertones, with human eccentricities and the human dilemma of loneliness; a mother unable to escape from baby talk, a disastrous fete, an unsuccessful seduction attempt, and a fate fraught dinner encounter.

Tickets may be purchased via our Box Office Line on 07...
