My lords and ladies! This week we mourn the passing (for the most part) of a truly amazing three weeks of KDC Shows (with MANY sell-out nights!)! Our Shakespeare season proved to be a real stormer at the Lion and Unicorn, a new venue for us, and Giant Olive Theatre Company for their support (big round of virtual applause and a Mexican wave in honour of George, Bianca, Tamzin, Cieran and Max).
Once again, the greatest of thanks from the committee to you, for the support and encouragement of our members from interest, to audition, to acting or watching! But obviously this season would have been for NAUGHT (still Shakespearean!) without Jacqui’s scandal-ridden 1960 era Measure for Measure, Matthew’s fantastically flapping 1920s The Tamer Tamed and Sarah’s glowstick 90s salute in KDC’s own The War of the Waleses (which was so popular it needed an extra show!).
The War of the Waleses is not done yet though. Oh no, sirrah! As part of the RSC Open Stages project there is a showcase to attend at our regional hosts, Questors Theatre in Ealing. We would love it if you, our members, could show your full support for us in their MASSIVE 350 seat venue! The performance is at 7.45pm on Thursday 26 April. For more details please visit the
Once more unto the praise, dear friends, and with immense gratitude at the hard for and enthusiasm of teams MM, TT and WW, the should of glory goes out tooooooooo (drumroll)
