Mystery Play Rehearsal

THE BERGH APTON
MYSTERY PLAY CYCLE 2014

Stepping into the Unknown
A small group gathered in the darkness & shivered. They sipped hot drinks, wondering what they were letting themselves in for.

Two hours later the team had bonded as a well-honed troupe of players. The first Rehearsal for the first play of the Bergh Apton Mysteries was already beginning to show we have some exciting talent on board. What is in store, we wondered, once all fifty actors take to the stage in May? The levels of inhibition had begun to fall away and the adrenalin do its work. The troupe was creating life from off the page, where lovingly Hugh Lupton had sweated long and hard to bring us a script worthy of the master. The words took on new meaning. The world was created, man and woman crafted and the begetting commenced. And David Farmer was already extracting the homegrown talent’s deepest and previously untouched strengths as his directing talents came into play.

Prepare to be amused and delighted when the four plays have fully come to life, once rehearsals are completed for the performances on 24th May, 1st June & 8th June.
Find out more on the website and twitter and facebook – and be sure you get your tickets soon. They are already selling well and there are only 200 available for each performance.

Rockland St Mary, Bramerton, Surlingham & Kirby Bedon,
to take part in the First Read through
Please do try to be there.

The evening, with Hugh Lupton & David Farmer, the acclaimed Stage Director, will involve reading the play &
getting a clearer idea of what roles will be offered to whom.David Farmer
We are looking for as many as 50 actors!!!

You may have indicated an interest already or you may have heard nothing about the Plays at all.
You may even have said you have no interest. In which case I would be grateful if you would reconsider.
But your help would be greatly appreciated to put together a fun, enjoyable set of plays. WE are getting there.

Please let us know if you can be there & we will send a copy of the script in plenty of time.
You needn’t memorise it but you might like to have read it by 22nd, altho’ you don’t have to.

See you on 22nd
