The Davenham Players

CANCELLED Play Reading Social
2020-05-07 19:30 - 21:30, 2020-06-04 19:30 - 21:30 (Europe/London) | Davenham Theatre, 59 Church Street, Northwich, CW9 8NF, United Kingdom
CANCELLED DURING COVID-19 LOCKDOWN
If you are at all interested in drama, whether performing, helping backstage or set design/construction, this is a social evening at which you can come along to meet our team, see what we do and maybe find out how YOU could get involved.
Besides networking and socializing, the main activity of the evening will be to read a script to see how well it stands up to performance and whether it is worth considering for future presentation at our theatre. You don’t have to read, but why not give it a try? Or just sit and listen. All good!
There’s always a tea break at half-time. What more could you ask for a free* but friendly night out?
*Note: A nominal charge of £1.00 may be made to non-members for refreshments.
You can contact Denise by email to find out more.

Live from Lockdown - Part 1
2020-10-01 20:00 - 21:30 | Davenham Theatre, 59 Church Street, Northwich, CW9 8NF, United Kingdom
Prepare to be taken through time and space via Davenham Theatre’s brand new podcast mini series!! Written & Produced during Lockdown 2020.

About this Event

In March 2020 a group of Davenham Players began rehearsals for a performance of radio plays and sketches… and then, like millions of people across the globe, they had to stop. But they didn’t stop…
Instead they started to write, set up online meetings and then record and edit their creations.
To launch the podcast, on Thursday 1st October at 8:00pm we will share their first two episodes in a live stream via Zoom. Then we will do the same for the second two episodes on Thursday 15th October also at 8:00pm (this requires a separate booking).
Please join us as we look to bring an audience together, virtually. You will be taken through time and space and even peek into a fictional version of Davenham Theatre itself!
There will be humour, drama, twists and turns. Hear the sea, listen in on people’s lives and experience new, but very familiar worlds.
The event is FREE and will be available to join via an online link once a ticket has been booked. See below for booking links.

Note that the event on 15th October is not a repeat – each evening comprises brand-new material, so you will need to listen to both events to hear the whole thing. Each event starts at 8:00pm and lasts about an hour and a half.
There is no charge for either event, but should you wish to support our theatre, then we would be happy to receive any such donations.
We hope you will join us.

dp Theatre Quiz
2020-11-26 19:30 - 21:30 | Online, United Kingdom
Good news about Sheila Hetherington’s theatre quiz is that the number of people we can accommodate is quite large, so please feel free to invite your friends who may like to join in either as individuals or as part of a team. We really don’t mind who or how many are in a team so long as there is one point of contact for us per team. You can register for the quiz by sending an email to Bob and we will then assume you are the main point of contact.
All team members are welcome to join the Zoom meeting on the night so you may want to forward the link to members of your team other than the main point of contact. You could keep in contact with team members outside your home during the rounds by phone or WhatsApp.
The Zoom link will be sent to all main contacts before the event. Please be aware that Audio and Video input will be switched off for everyone (except for Sheila and myself) during each round but opened for reporting marks. This means that everyone in the Zoom session will be able to see and hear the questions, but what they do or say will not be visible to others.
I will be reading the questions and hosting the quiz as Sheila is not confident about her computer connectivity, but I will not see the answers until the rest of you do. You will be marking your own answers and simply giving Sheila your score at the end of each round. Sheila will be doing the traditional ‘scores on the doors’ half way through the rounds when there will also be a picture round. The pictures will be shared via Zoom from my screen.
Lastly, a note of caution – by all means include the people in your bubble in your ‘in house’ team, but please do not use the quiz as encouragement to stretch the current lockdown rules in any way.
That’s all for now.
Looking forward to a good turnout!
Bob.

The Steamie by Tony Roper

THE STEAMIE
BY TONY ROPER (FROM RAB C NESBITT)
The Steamie is a comedy-drama written by Tony Roper, perhaps better known as actor – especially for his role as Jamesie, the hapless partner in crime of Rab C. Nesbitt).
The play follows a group of women (Dolly, Magrit, Doreen and Mrs Culfeathers) washing their sheets, curtains and clothes in a public washhouse (a steamie) in Glasgow in the 1950s, and Andy, the lone male responsible for the maintenance and running of the steamie. The action takes place at Hogmanay, on Old Year’s Night, when the house has to be clean and fresh to welcome the New Year before the year can change and the first footing start. The Steamie was voted second in Scottish Televisions ’30 Best Loved Plays’ and regularly plays to audiences around the country.
Directed by Sheila Hetherington, Davenham actors Paulette Anderson, Denise Barry, Vanessa Duffy and Peter Lownds are joined by Catherine Millar, previously seen as Lorraine in Little Gem, a Chester Little Theatre production that visited Davenham in April.
Tuesday 22-Saturday 26 October inclusive
at 7.30pm.
Doors and Bar open 7pm
Tickets £10 from www.danarts.org or 016062 59596
