WT is committed to being a diverse and open organisation. Auditions are open to anyone, regardless of background or experience, and we particularly welcome those who have been traditionally under-represented in theatre.---
It is the late summer of 1940 and the pilots of fighter command are taking a well earned rest and celebrating their victory in the country mansion of Leonata, a Kent landowner. Will Benedick and Beatrice ever overcome their verbal sparring to find true love with the help of Don Pedro? Will Hero and Claudio’s love survive the evil machinations of spiv, Don John? Will Dogberry and the local Home guard achieve justice despite their well intentioned incompetence?
Parts for all in this 1940’s setting of Shakespeare’s rom-com masterpiece. The text will be edited to allow for a 2 hour run time and liberties will be taken with the comic parts of the script to allow a few catch phrases from Dad’s Army. Otherwise the text will be purely that of “The Bard”.
We will also be using the music and dance of the 1940’s, so there may be opportunities for singers, dancers.
