THE PLAY The Long Road centres on the aftermath of the murder of 18-year-old Danny, and the devastating impact of this apparently random act of violence on his mother, father and brother. As each family member wrestles with grief, guilt and forgiveness, they must decide whether to have contact with Danny's killer. Will this offer understanding and release - or deepen their despair?
Director: Gabi Maddocks

Brassed Off, directed by Kim Freeman
Auditions will be held on Monday 12 January
The play, written by Paul Allen and Mark Herman is a heart-warming story about community spirit and triumph in the face of adversity. Brassed Off is equally funny and poignant and we are delighted that the show will feature live music played by local favourites, the Hook Norton Brass Band. This is a new adventure for Lynden Players- we have of course worked with some brilliant musicians over the past 50 years but never a real life brass band.
There are 7M and 5F characters plus a supporting chorus. Full coaching will be given to the characters 'playing' band members. Rehearsals begin 14 January and show dates are 7-9 May 2026. Synopsis 1994. Yorkshire, England. Returning to her hometown up north, Gloria discovers a community in crisis. The local Pit is on the brink of closure, money is scarce and morale is at an all-time low. Only the Colliery Brass Band is keeping spirits up, sights set firmly on reaching the national brass band championships at the Royal Albert Hall, but as conversations turn to talk of picket lines and redundancy packages, the miners are falling out of tune. Flugelhorn-playing Gloria brings hope to the band and the town. But is she all she seems? And how will the miners react when they find out who she works for? The award-winning film with Pete Postlethwaite and Ewan McGregor tugged the heartstrings of the nation when it was released in 1996 and this version of the story is sure to do the same

AUDITION NOTICE Do you fancy acting in this gentle, touching comedy? Directed by Mandi Dunford
This heart-warming play centers around Robin and Jacqui, both confined to their homes owing to a phobia of satellites falling from the sky. They meet in a phobia chat room and become friends...can they become more if they can't leave? Robin is living with his mum, while Jacqui has moved back with her dad. Robin speaks to a counsellor and we meet a friendly courier. The characters: . Robin - A children's book writer who cannot leave the house due to his fear of things falling from the sky. Robin is prone to panic attacks and has given in to his fear. . Jacqui - A former city worker who has moved back in with her dad and is working from home due to her fear of falling things though really does want to overcome her fear. . Lesley - Robin's mother . Reece - Jacqui's father . Jimmy - A courier . John - A therapist There are no specific ages mentioned in the script but Jacqui and Robin are likely in their twenties. Reece and Lesley therefore need to be believable as parents. Jimmy and John can be any age. Please email Mandi (chair@archwaytheatre.co.uk) if you would like to find our more about the play, or have a look at the script. At the audition we will be doing sections of the script which enable all characters to interact.
