Although there's no actual show planned for May, we've arranged a special one-day acting workshop on Saturday 18th May, open to non-members and led by RSC and NODA summer-school voice coach Michael Corbidge
Jon Fox reviewed Thespis for NODA and commented "I found this rarely performed piece a resounding success. The show had pace, continuity, constant humour, pathos, a fine cast and well used stage craft."
Following our successful production of Thespis, the 'lost' G&S opera, Mick Mercer's excellent dress-rehearsal photos are here
