Lillian’s house is extraordinary, every surface is painted. Thousands of eyes peer from the windows and dream-like murals cover the walls; a playground shooting; a Chinese dragon; curses, poems, a girl without a face.

Lillian is eighty four and she is dead. As her family gather to sort out her affairs they are forced to question who their mother, aunt and grandmother truly was. What are the messages she has left for them on the walls of her home? What was she so desperate to say?

Do not go gentle, by internationally acclaimed playwright Suzan L Zeder, is a compelling piece of theatre. From the grievances, joys, disappointments and hopes of a ‘normal’ family, Zeder weaves a tale of self-discovery that will shock and intrigue and will appeal to a wide age-range, from teenagers upwards.

Dawn Symonds, well-known locally as a dynamic and charismatic actor, directs a talented cast that includes pupils from Archbishop Sancroft High School, Harleston, where the play is staged.

Tickets: £8.00 (concs. £6.00) available from Harleston Pet Stores.

Fantastic Mr. Fox

Boggis, Bunce and Bean, one fat, one short, one lean… have had enough of Mr. Fox. It’s time to shoot him, or if that doesn’t work, they’ll dig him out, and his wife and children to boot. But their evil scheme threatens not just the Fox family, but all the woodland animals. Can Mr. Fox come up with a plan to save them all?

Fantastic Mr. Fox is a truly fantastic family show, with songs, suspense, larger than life characters and lots of laughs. And at just an hour long, it’s great entertainment for younger children. Building on some hugely entertaining recent shows, the Harleston Players Youth Theatre Company invite you to join the fun and share the adventure.

with tickets priced £4 available from Harleston Pet Stores and on the door.

(Friends can use their voucher card.)
