Activities 2023

Feb 2023. visit to Northcott Theatre. For 90 minutes Robert Daws was on stage alone, giving his wonderful performance as Pelham Grenville Wodehouse or Plum to his friends. There were lighthearted moments, some very sad moments and also a few jolly songs thrown into the mix. We thoroughly enjoyed the performance and l for one will certainly be reading some more of his wonderful books.

Feb 2023. Last Friday a group of us went to Crediton Arts Centre to see The Picture of Dorian Gray. An innocent and young Dorian Gray is the subject of a portrait by his close friend Basil Hallward, an artist impressed and infatuated by his youthful beauty, who believes Dorian is the reason for the new mood of his art as a painter. When Dorian’s wish to remain young seems to have been granted by the Devil, all the while his portrait ages and records every moral transgression he commits. This is Brown Paper Bag's first production since 2019's Under Milk Wood. Dorian Gray is directed by Frank Kelsall, who sat next to us.Maybe a moral tale for the instagram generation.

The first outing of the Theatre group in 2023 was to The Lamb at Sandford cinema club to see The latest Fisherman’s friends film. Some of us had a meal beforehand others ate chips and we all enjoyed the film which was a lighthearted comedy with sea shanties. The bonus is that it is free entry to see the film.
