Play Reading Social

Happy Families by John Godber
I will be directing Happy Families at Davenham for performance from Tuesday 16 May to Saturday 20 May 2023. While the preceding Davenham production is itself in rehearsal, we will rehearse on some Friday evenings. After that show closes on 19 March, we will rehearse on Tuesdays and Wednesday evenings, with some weekend rehearsals in the build up to our opening night. Evening rehearsals will last from 7.30pm to 10.00pm.
There will be an informal reading of the play at the Theatre at 7.30pm on Thursday 5 January, followed by auditions on Thursday 9 February. If you want to audition, but cannot attend on the latter evening, please contact me at home (‘phone 01270 626215; email park50@hotmail.com), so that we can arrange to meet sometime the previous week. Copies of the script are available from Secreatary Paulette Anderson. On donpolander@tisca;li.co.uk
Happy Families is a very funny play about family life in West Yorkshire over a period from the late 1960s to the late 1970s. The piece is autobiographical, and the characters and action are seen through the filter of ‘John’. Godber specifically describes the stage set as ‘quite definitely theatrical’ – and the same can be said of the performances required. The play demands stylised playing with rather ‘arch’ (and often quite rapid) delivery, with scenes often ending with the cast ‘freezing’ in stylised tableaux.
Roles
John The narrator, aging from 9 to 25
Dot John’s mum, sharp and bitter, aging from 40 to 54
Vic John’s dad, placid but eccentric, aging from 40 to 54
Liz Dot’s mum, sentimental, aging from 60 to 74
Jack Dot’s dad, aggressive and bitter, aging from 60 to 74
Doris Dot’s sister, ‘‘John’s mucky auntie’’, aging from 30 to 44
Edna Vic’s sister, ‘‘John’s posh auntie’’, aging from 40 to 54
Rebecca Edna’s daughter, ‘’John’s genius cousin’’, aging from 11 to 25. (Ideally, but not crucially, the actor should be able to play the clarinet!)
Lynn Sutton Neighbour’s daughter, aged 7.
Dot, John and Vic are on stage almost all the time, though not necessarily speaking. Jack and Liz are substantial roles, Doris and Edna less so. Rebecca is on stage for about a quarter of the play, and Lyn for two pages (if necessary, this part can be played by the actor playing Rebecca). Authentic West Yorkshire speech would be ideal for all characters; failing that, a generalised ‘northern accent’.

AUDITION - 'A Number'
2023-01-03 19:00 - 22:00 | Davenham Theatre, 59 Church Street, Northwich, CW9 8NF, United Kingdom
Seeking One Actor to play Three Clone Characters
Davenham Players are seeking a talented and versatile male actor with a playing age of 30-40 to take the roles of three different characters in Caryl Churchill’s sci-fi thriller ‘A Number’.
A one act play with a runtime of approximately one hour, ‘A Number’ tells the story of Salter (60s) and three cloned versions of his son, all of which have very distinct personalities.
Bernard 1 = The original son, who Salter neglected in early childhood and then put into care. B1 has grown into an angry, resentful and psychologically damaged adult.
Bernard 2 = The first clone who Salter adopted as his replacement son. B2 is naïve and vulnerable, a bit of a man-child. He’s only just learned the truth of his origins.
Michael Black = Another clone who has grown up never knowing about Salter. Michael is jovial and quirky, a family man and teacher. Should be played comedically.
Any actors who would be interested in this unique challenge, please contact the director – kellycowley@hotmail.co.uk – as soon as you can. Davenham Players will be holding a second lot of auditions for this role on Tuesday 3rd January at 7pm (the role of Salter is also still open but there are actors in consideration).
The casting of this play will be followed by rehearsals on Tuesdays and Sundays from January until the performance week in mid-March.

Auditions for "Escaped Alone" and "A Number" directed by Kelly Cowley
2022-12-18 13:30 - 16:30 | Davenham Theatre, 59 Church Street, Northwich, CW9 8NF, United Kingdom
Today, under arrangements altered by inclement weather, Kelly Cowley is holding auditions of two one-act plays by Caryl Churchill that she is going to direct at Davenham in March 2023. A readthrough of both plays will have taken place online on Tuesday 13th December.

The audition for “Escaped Alone” will start at 1:30pm and the one for “A Number” starts at 3:00pm.

Here are Kelly’s notes on each play. You can contact the director to say you will be there or ask any question by clicking Kelly.

Escaped Alone by Caryl Churchill

Duration = Approximately 1 hour
Cast = Four Women in their 60s or 70s
Plot
Three old friends – Sally, Vi and Lena – spend a summer afternoon (or several summer afternoons) chatting in Sally’s back garden. They are joined by a neighbour, Mrs Jarrett, who regularly breaks away from their group to deliver monologues describing a postapocalyptic future. Caryl Churchill’s play juxtaposes tea with catastrophe, while exploring themes of ecological disaster, unspoken turmoil, and female endurance.
Style
Black comedy. The dialogue between the four women is made up of fragmented thoughts and half-finished sentences. The effect is somewhere between naturalistic and abstract, a kind of hyper-realism. There’s a lack of stage directions and punctuation. The intention of this is to grant creative freedom to the actors and director. Add your own punctuation, your own pauses and pacing, shape the dialogue how you think best.
Set and Tech
A small island of green turf centre stage with four garden chairs and a low table set with tea and biscuits. The outskirts of the stage would look dark, desolate and ruined, like a derelict building that has been ransacked and then abandoned. Sound and lighting would be used to create an apocalyptic atmosphere for Mrs J’s monologues.
Characters
Mrs Jarrett (60s/70s) – A neighbour, more so than a close friend, perhaps the reason she is the only one of the group who is not known by her first name. She worked as a lollipop lady and is implied to be the most working class. She says the least in the group scenes but has the most monologues, during which she appears to be an apocalypse survivor.
Vi (60s/70s) – The blunt no-nonsense one of the group. We learn that she was in prison for six years after receiving a manslaughter sentence for killing her husband. She insists that it was an act of self-defence. This killing led to an estranged relationship with her son.
Sally (60s/70s) – The funny bubbly host of the garden gathering. Sally is close friends with Vi. We learn she witnessed her crime many years ago. She has a crippling phobia of a cats.
Lena (60s/70s) – An anti-social agoraphobic. She is quietly struggling with depression. She finds it hard to get out of bed or to do simple things such as visit the shops.

A Number (Caryl Churchill, 2002)
Duration = Approximately 1 hour
Cast = Two Men, one 35–40, one 60+
Plot
Bernard has recently discovered that he is one of ‘a number’ of human clones. His father Salter confesses to him that he was once friends with a scientist who must have taken his son’s DNA and used it to create these copies. It is later revealed that Bernard himself is a clone of Salter’s only son, who he put into childcare after the death of his wife. This clone experiment was brought about by Salter wanting a second chance at fatherhood. It comes back to haunt him when the original Bernard tracks him down.
Style
Psychological sci-fi thriller. Half father/son story and half speculative exploration into the ethics of genetic experimentation and nature vs nurture.
Set and Tech
All the scenes take place in Salter’s home, a simple living room set with some futuristic touches to indicate the near-future setting of the play. No major sound or lighting effects would be required, just blackouts for the scene changes.
Characters
Salter (60s/70s) – The father of Bernard 1 and adoptive father of Bernard 2, a clone he made of his son, who he put into care at age four. Salter abandoned his original child because he was too grief-stricken over his wife’s death to be a good parent.
Bernard 1, Bernard 2 and Michael Black (30s/40s) – All three characters are played by the same actor. Bernard 1 is Salter’s original son, who has grown into an angry damaged man, embittered that his father replaced him. Bernard 2 is naïve and sheltered, as Salter has kept the truth of his origins secret from him until the start of the play. Michael Black is another clone of the original Bernard, who comes to meet Salter for the first time at the end of the play. Michael is an amiable family man and teacher.

Jazz Tom Seals - SOLD OUT

SORRY – GIG NOW SOLD OUT
The mantle of UK Piano Man has been dominated by Elton John, Jools Holland and Jamie Cullum. Over the past five decades no one else has come remotely close – until now that is! Fresh from his sell-out “Let The Good Times Roll” Tour – Tom Seals, “quite possibly the future of jazz and blues”, has the world at this fingertips. His virtuoso soloing, excellent improvisations skills and distinctive voice have left top industry officials hailing him the UK’s finest boogie woogie and blues pianist/vocalist.
Still only in his twenties, Seals is surely destined for greatness. Hot on the heels of sold-out shows across the globe including London’s legendary Ronnie Scott’s, a stunning performance at Birdland Jazz Club on Broadway in New York and working with Jools Holland, Tom Seals’ star is destined to soar stratospherically in 2022 with the release of his debut album, own TV show and festival appearances worldwide.

Jazz at Davenham are delighted to announce that
Liane Carroll
one of the UK’s top female jazz vocalists will be here with us on
Friday 14th October
Jazz critic Dave Gelly of The Observer has described her as “one of the most stylistically flexible pianists around, with a marvellous, slightly husky singing voice”.
According to John Fordham of The Guardian, she is “a powerful, soul-inflected performer with an Ella Fitzgerald-like improvisational athleticism and an emotional frankness on ballads”.
Peter Quinn of Jazzwise says: “Liane Carroll has that rare ability to meld effortless, often transcendent vocal and piano technique, with heart stopping emotion and soul bearing power.
Nick Hasted of The Independent says that she is “still frustratingly little-known” but calls her “one of Britain’s most emotionally visceral and accomplished singers”.
Bookings can be made via email jazz@davenham.co or telephone Harry on 07717 224 238 / 01606 74502 Doors open 7.30pm music at 8pm.Tickets £15 on the door. Early booking for this one is advisable.

Jazz Ben Holder Trio
2022-09-29 19:30 - 22:00 | Davenham Theatre, 59 Church Street, Northwich, CW9 8NF, United Kingdom
The Ben Holder Trio is a stellar line-up of incredible musicians, blending an energetic mix of traditional jazz and swing with Ben’s own infectious originals, which hark back to the fun and swing of the 1920s and 1930s. The group is one of the most exciting bands to emerge in recent years.
Led by the fiery enthusiasm of 32-year-old Ben Holder, who wows on violin, the trio is strengthened by the phenomenal musicians on guitar and double bass. The Ben Holder Trio masterfully mix old jazz favourites and upbeat swingers with some more recent material and leave audiences up and down the country shouting for more.
Tonight’s line-up is:-
Ben Holder (violin and vocals), Caley Groves (guitar) and Mike Green (double bass)
Expect jazz violin as you’ve never seen it before!

BOUNCERS BY JOHN GODBER
Tuesday 20th to Saturday 24th nightly at 7:45pm.
Directed by Mike Kelsall
Produced by Kerry Paige

Bursting with imagination and wit and presented by just four actors, Bouncers is an outrageous and hilarious parody of the disco scene. The four brutish bouncers of the title portray over twenty different characters as we are invited for a night out on the town.

Tickets £11 direct from our NEW Ticket Shop where you can select the seat(s) you want on the night you want at https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/davenhamplayers
