“They Dream of Home”
30 May 2014 By
On Friday 13th June at 7.30pm in Payhembury Hall, there will be a first reading of ‘They Dream of Home’, a new play by John Somers to commemorate the outbreak of WW1. We will read the script and discuss how this ‘processional production’ will take place in early September in various locations in Payhembury village. Unless the weather is too bad, we will be able to walk around Payhembury to look at and discuss the locations where the performance will happen. Males in the 15 to 40 age bracket are especially needed.
Attendance does not mean you …

To the people of Payhembury
(especially those living around the Green)
In September Tale Valley Community Theatre will perform ‘They Dream of Home’, a play written by me about the Village’s and Parish’s involvement in WW1. Some of you will remember the production, Parson Terry’s Dinner, which I created in 2000 which celebrated the turn of the Millennium. It was performed at various sites in the Village and I would like to achieve a similar thing with ‘They Dream of Home’. I would like, therefore, as with Parson Terry, to be able to close …

Support the role of drama in our Schools

DO YOU VALUE THE ROLE OF
THE ARTS & DRAMA IN OUR LIVES?
Many of you are involved in drama and theatre in a range of contexts, either professionally or in your community as a voluntary activity. Those who have children at school may know that the Government has announced several initiatives to change the school curriculum, most of which involve a diminution of the Arts and perhaps complete removal of Drama. As someone who discovered Drama as a student and who has been working in it ever since (54 years) I am saddened and annoyed that this …
