The Witches of Eastwick tells the tale of the people of the little town of Eastwick. Everyone knows everything about everyone else, and the indomitable Felicia Gabriel presides over it. Bored and fed up with their small town lives, three women--Alexandra (Alex), Sukie, and Jane--share a desire for "all manner of man in one man" to provide excitement and variety. That man arrives, literally in a flash, in the devil-like form of Darryl Van Horne. Darryl seduces the women and teaches them powers, which they never knew they had. Scandalized by the carefree foursome, Felicia and the women of the town vow to clean up the "Dirty Laundry" that is disrupting their peaceful setup. As Darryl's powers over Alex, Jane, and Sukie become more powerful, the three women start to consider that their wild, lustful relationship with Darryl is more sinister and dangerous than they realized. After Felicia and her husband, Clive, die as a result of the witches' curse, the women vow to have nothing more to do with Darryl. When Darryl tries to take over the rest of the town and marry Felicia and Clive's orphaned daughter Jennifer, they realize that they must use their newly discovered powers to get rid of him once and for all.

Banbury Cross Players are delighted to announce an upcoming read-through and auditions for their February 2027 production, Till the Stars Come Down, by Beth Steel, directed by Chrissie Garrett. Read on to learn more!
This is a passionate, down-to-earth family drama, with all the intrigues, relationships, secrets and confrontations that happen in every family. Set in Mansfield, a former pit town in Nottinghamshire, the local community has seen a large Eastern European population arrive, alongside the closure of the pits, leading to tensions in the town. The audience is a fly-on-the-wall; watching one family on a summer's day as they gather to welcome a newcomer into their midst. It is the wedding of Sylvia - the family's youngest sister - to Marek, a Polish man, who is welcomed into the family reluctantly. Sylvia is one of a trio of sisters, and these woman are all forces of nature. From Maggie and Hazel, the other two sisters, to their fantastically-gobby Aunt Carol. You feel part of the wedding, investing in the characters and their emotional lives. These characters are larger-than-life, bouncing to life before the audience in pain, joy and laughter. The fathers, uncles and love interests are all off-stage at first, while the women get ready for the big day. They drink Buck's Fizz whilst they bitch about everyone else. The sisters' mother is dead and their father, Tony, is embroiled in a rift of many decades with his brother, Pete. There are bursts of music, drunken disorder, betrayal, intrigues, and shocks alongside the dull pain of everyday marital compromise. In terms of staging, this will be very simple, and in the round - so the audience feel they are part of the family and the developments taking place - everything will be staged within a players' chalked circle, of sorts. CHARACTERS - 9 total, ages between early 20s-75 Tony - 75 years (Male) A widower and ex-pit worker with early onset dementia/mild cognitive problems. In need of care. Down to earth - he has lived in Mansfield all his life. Hazel - early 40s (Female) Eldest daughter of the family, married for 20 years to John. She is going through a dreadful lack of self-confidence, and feels John no longer loves or fancies her. She's fed up with working all hours with no money and is struggling to manage her teenage daughter, Leanne. Maggie - mid-30s (Female) Middle daughter of the family. Married 4 times to 3 different husbands. In love with John, Hazel's husband. Has been away from Mansfield for over a year and it's not clear why. Passionate and secretive, Maggie feels very much the outsider to the rest of the family - the three sisters used to be incredibly close, and now Maggie is apart from them. Sylvia - early 20s (Female) The youngest of the three sisters. Sylvia is about to get married to Marek, a Polish immigrant. She is very much in love, excited and very caring - all she wants is her family around her and the sisters reunited. Sylvia has put on quite a lot of weight recently and won't fit into her wedding dress! Marek - late 20s/early 30s (Male) About the same age as Sylvia, Marek is a Polish immigrant who has been in the UK a number of years. He is totally in love with Sylvia but is finding it difficult to cope with the racism and anti-Polish sentiments displayed by the family. John - early 40s (Male) Hazel's husband - they have been married for 20 years. John has been out of work for 3 months and is bitter and angry and lacks self-confidence. He thinks he is worthless because he has no job. He is in love with Maggie. Leanne - age 16 years (Female) This is a combined role (of the characters of Sarah and Leanne). John and Hazel's daughter, Leanne is a typical stroppy teenager. Aunt Carol - 65-70 years (Female) Sister-in-Law to Tony, married to Pete for a long, long time, with whom she has a love/hate relationship. Very much a vibrant, larger-than-life character - uses very coarse language! Uncle Pete - 65-70 years (Male) Married to Carol, and Tony's brother. Has fallen out with Tony but no-one knows why. It becomes apparent, however, that when the other pit workers went on strike, Pete continued to work - he's therefore seen as a "scab".

Blithe Spirit is a comedy first performed in 1941 and revived frequently since. Likely set just before World War 2, Coward described the play as 'an improbable farce in three acts' although we'll only have one interval. The first filmed version, from 1945 and which sticks reasonably closely to the plot, is available on ITV1.
Plot Charles is about to write a murder mystery novel featuring a psychic, and has invited Madame Arcarti to dinner along with the Bradmans in order to hold a séance with the four of them afterwards. He wishes to collect information about the jargon and 'tricks' but she knows nothing about his intentions. During the séance the ghost of his first wife, Elvira, appears and causes mayhem after the guests have departed: over the following days Ruth - Charles's present wife - is killed and then also appears as a ghost while Madame Arcarti tries to send Elvira back to 'the other side'. Edith and Charles both have 'accidents' which the doctor attends to while Madame Arcarti tries various methods to send the ghosts away. There's flying plates, people throwing flowers at each other, pictures falling off walls and general mayhem, all to the tune of 'Always' (Irving Berlin). Character information The ages of the characters have some flexibility but it's important that Elvira is younger than Ruth, who is younger than Charles - these differences are referred to in the text, and the references can be tweaked if need be. The Bradmans are a couple in their middle years, probably similar in age to Ruth and Charles. Charles Condomine: (playing age 40-60) a successful writer married to Elvira for 5yrs and then, after a space of at least two years, to Ruth, also for 5yrs. He is a witty socialite with a ruthless streak with, initially, no belief in the supernatural. Ruth Condomine: (playing age 35-50) second wife of Charles, this is also her 2nd marriage. She is smart, self-assured, intelligent and can hold her own in discussions with Charles. She, too, has no belief in the supernatural initially. Elvira Condomine: (playing age 25-35) died laughing at a radio programme whilst recovering from pneumonia caught when out boating with an illicit beau. She appears as she did when she died, in a negligée/housecoat/dressing-gown. Described as fascinating, maddening, physically attractive, immoral and with gay charm (amongst other things), she has been played by both Joanna Lumley and Judi Dench. Madame Arcarti: (playing age over 45 but fit enough to ride a bicycle). A professional (and genuine) psychic, medium and writer, she has been successful enough to move to the country from London. Striking, confident and open, dresses practically but slightly eccentrically. Dr George Bradman: the local doctor, pleasant manner, able to be professionally perceptive. Sceptical about all matters supernatural. Mrs Violet Bradman: the doctor's wife. Sympathetic, with a sense of humour and a more open mind about the supernatural. Edith: (playing age 20-35) the newly-appointed maid, recently demobed from the WRENS and as a result tends to run to her duties unless reminded to slow down. She is revealed at the end of the play to be psychic. Other info Scripts are available for short term loan from Sudbury Library (in the green SDS box by the customer services desk at rear) and rehearsals will commence in early January 2027.

THE PLAY Daisy Meredith, the new girl, is the first scholarship student to attend Grangewood School for Girls. The privileged students are determined to make Daisy look bad in the eyes of the school administration, which has its own problems, particularly financial ones. However, Daisy wins over her classmates and saves the school when she cracks a secret code, discovers a treasure and saves the life of her chief rival-all in the same night! This is very much an ensemble piece and as such the Audition will be more of a workshop in style. It would be useful to familiarise yourself with the play, but you won't need to study individual audition pieces beforehand.

Audition Application The show page is here, www.guildburys.com/calendar-girls-2027 Be part of a deeply empowering theatrical experience. The show draws on the inspiring true story of Yorkshire Women's Institute members. They posed for an unconventional nude calendar to raise money for leukaemia research. Yet the production is more than a comedy; it is a celebration of life, love, resilience, and community. Calendar Girls is a heartwarming, triumphant story that leaves audiences feeling uplifted and inspired. Auditioning means more than trying out for a play. It means committing to tell a story that celebrates ordinary people's beauty. If you are on the fence about stepping into the audition room, here is exactly why you should take the leap: Phenomenal Roles for Mature Actresses: In a theatrical landscape where meaty, central roles for women over 40 can be scarce, Calendar Girls flips the script. The play is driven by an incredible ensemble of complex, witty, and fiercely loyal women who hold court on stage. From the rebellious, charismatic Chris to the heartrendingly tender Annie, the characters offer immense emotional depth and incredible comic timing. The Ultimate Masterclass in Ensemble Acting: This show relies heavily on fine ensemble work. Because the "girls" are on stage together for the majority of the production, the cast inevitably develops a powerful, supportive off-screen and on-screen bond. It is an incredibly rewarding environment to collaborate, share a lot of laughs, and build lifelong friendships.
I'm thrilled to be directing QUIZ by James Graham. It's a brilliant, funny and gripping play based on the infamous Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? coughing scandal.
We're looking for a fantastic ensemble cast to bring this extraordinary true story to life including Charles Ingram, Diana Ingram, Chris Tarrant, Barristers and a whole host of wonderfully interesting characters. Any Chris Tarrant types out there? You don't need to do a Tarrant impression, we're looking for someone with the warmth, wit, authority and presence of a great quiz-show host. There are some cracking roles beyond the main characters too, with plenty of opportunity to get your teeth into this fascinating story. Think you might fancy being part of it? Come along on 30 November! Diana Banham Diana.Banham@shaftesburyartscentre.co.uk
