community play 2006
The community play is a major part of the Queen’s programme. For three months over fifty members of the local community worked alongside the Queen’s professional artistic and production team, both on stage and behind the scenes, to bring this brand new show to life. Written by New Writing Award winner Pauline Hannah, Off to Oz! tells the story of Maggie and Barry, a couple who have always shared the dream of emigrating to Australia, and with a win on the lottery their dream can become a reality. As a final farewell Maggie and Barry decide to throw a leaving party – and the whole family is invited… The play's run was from 26-29 July and, as Co-Director I was really pleased with the outcome of the show. The cast really pulled together during production week and worked hard to do the script justice. The technical rehearsals were long and tiring, particularly for those who had also been at work during the day, but it all paid off. I would like to thank everybody involved in the show for their hard work and dedication! It was wonderful to see everything come together and they worked very well as a team to bring Pauline’s wonderful play to life. Beth
