The Richmond Theatre, Little Green, TW9 1QJ
THE WINSLOW BOY
2.30 p.m. Matinee
This is a new production by Mark Goucher Productions Limited. Directed by Rachel Kavanaugh, the leading players are Tessa Peake-Jones as Grace and Aden Gillett as Arthur. The play is touring the country, beginning at the Chichester Festival Theatre in February. The Society has made a block-booking with a price reduction of £28 for best stalls seats.
The exquisite Richmond Theatre opened in 1899 with a performance of As You Like It and is one of the finest surviving examples of the work of theatre architect Frank Matcham. The building, in red brick with buff terracotta, is listed Grade 11* by Historic England. John Earl, writing in 1982, described it as: “Of outstanding importance as the most completely preserved Matcham theatre in Greater London and one of the most satisfying interiors.”
and an optional post-theatre
SUPPER at The Duke Public House (with a complimentary glass of prosecco)
5.p.m. 2, Duke Street, TW9 1HP
The Duke is situated just around the corner from the theatre and members had supper there in 2015, after a performance of Flare Path. The food and service is excellent and good value. The average price of a starter is £6.50 and a main course £15. The house wine is £18 a bottle. You will receive the menu choices later and we shall need to pre-order. Members will pay for the meal individually on the evening.
