Thorpe players break new ground

Posted by Russell Butt on Jun 4, 09 01:36 PM in Clubs/societies

The Thorpe Players are breaking new ground with their next production.

Not only is it an European premiere, but it also features the first time the group has had a mother and daughter acting the roles of mother and daughter.


An new adaptation of Jane Austen's classic, Pride and Prejudice, takes place at Thorpe Village Hall from today (Wednesday, June 10) until Saturday, June 13.

Dee and Angie Bews have both been members for many years, but this is the first time that they have acted together and they are both thrilled to be
playing Mrs Bennet and her daughter Lizzie.

Director, Sharon Young said she searched for a version of the story that kept the truth of the book, and felt this one by Jon Jory did that.

She said: "I am excited and nervous at staging such a well-known and well-loved classic, but I know my cast will meet the challenge and they and the audience will enjoy the humour and charm of the play."

Tickets cost £9 and can be booked on 07923 583295.
