The Father is company’s latest bold production

AS it approaches its 25th anniversary, Lincoln-based Common Ground Theatre Company is sticking to its habit of producing a bold range of memorable dramas with The Father.

One of the oldest established drama companies in Lincoln (the musical theatre societies are much older), Common Ground has established a reputation as an open and welcoming group which is committed to producing high-quality yet accessible live theatre.

Having tackled plays such as Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot and Jean-Paul Sartre’s No Exit in the past, Common Ground is now set to bring Florian Zeller’s thought-provoking and emotional play to the stage.

Cinema buffs may have watched the 2020 film version of the play, which starred Sir Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman, which brought an Academy Award to the former in the role of André.

The original play can be seen at the Broadbent Theatre in Wickenby from April 10-12, with Zeller’s darkly humorous and deeply poignant work, translated from French by Christopher Hampton. It is a tragi-comic mystery as well as a sobering and realistic family story and an unsentimental, emotionally intense look at the world through the eyes of a man experiencing dementia.

In it we meet André, whose declining mental faculties lead to confusion, frustration and a loss of identity. His daughter Anne struggles to balance her love

for her father and the need to care for him with the pressures of her own life. Through André’s eyes the audience experiences the dislocation, anxiety and vulnerability associated with dementia and the impact it has on family relationships.

Shot through with moments of heartfelt emotion, humour and beautiful, poignant language, Common Ground’s staging features Jerry Smith as André and Laura Turner as Anne.

“It’s an extraordinary piece of theatre because it cleverly and insidiously forces the audience to see the world through the eyes of André, a charmingly grumpy 80-year-old who’s beginning to lose his grip on reality,” said the play’s director Jez Ashberry

“I won’t give too much away except to say that at times the audience is as confused and bewildered about what’s going on in André’s life as André is!

“We’ve been rehearsing since the start of the new year and I’m really pleased with how the production is shaping up. We’ve got a brilliant cast featuring two newcomers to Common Ground and an experienced backstage and technical crew.

“I’m really looking forward to what promises to be a fantastic production!”

Performances begin at 7.30pm and tickets at £13 (£12 concessions) and can be bought online at https://broadbenttheatre.org/events/ the-father/ or by calling 0333 666 3366. Some tickets may also be available on the door.

50 historic vehicles.

Peter Cairns, Director of Lincolnshire Vintage Vehicle Society (LVVS), one of the oldest vehicle preservation societies in the UK, explained: “The accredited museum tells the story of road transport in Lincolnshire using a wealth of exhibits many of which have local connections.”

The exhibits include buses that were used with Lincoln Corporation, which started from horse tram beginnings in 1904, and through the years saw the electric tram era and the earliest petrol engine buses.

The end of Lincoln Corporation came in 1991, however the museum showcases vehicles throughout its 87 years of public service.

“The star exhibits are the vehicles which cover all types and ages many of which have been the subject of painstaking restorations by our members.

“The museum also contains a rich selection of relevant artefacts including equipment, models and photographs which are worth a visit in themselves.

“For over 60 years the LVVS has thrived thanks to its members but we administration, conservation and maintenance of the museum and the collection.”

To volunteer or join the society, email lvvs1959@gmail.com or call 01522 500566.

The open day runs from 10am – 4pm. Entry is free and parking is available near the museum. Blue badge holders please contact beforehand due to limited parking spaces.

CITY of Lincoln Council has

supported vulnerable residents by allocating funds to local charities working to combat social isolation and help those living in poverty, writes Rebecca Poole.

The Lincoln Lottery Community Fund 2024 has been shared between seven local good causes running projects to tackle the priority areas which were identified through a public consultation last year.

One of the recipients of the fund is awardwinning gardening and therapeutic horticulture charity, Green Synergy, which has been awarded £2,500 for its Warm Spaces Project.

“The funding is enabling us to put on a Lunch Club on a Monday and it’s also providing us the opportunity to continue what was our Knit and Natter, but is now our Cuppa, Craft and Chat sessions which take place on a Thursday,” explained Ali Talbot, Green Synergy’s Chief Executive. The charity is based in the Tower Estate in Abbey Ward, which is one of the highest deprived wards in Lincoln. Ali explains that poverty levels for children and young people are also the highest in the county.

“From our community listening in 2023 and 2024, the residents on the Tower Estate feel they are a forgotten estate but also that their needs are quite high. In response

we’ve developed our community charity hub because we’re the only indoor space on the Tower Estate.

“One of the things that’s key for us as a charity is providing a safe space for people to come together, to meet friends, but predominantly to reduce loneliness. “

In response to the cost-of-living crisis and cut in winter fuel payments, it is hoped that offering a warm, safe space will support the community with its needs and by providing energy advice sessions and partnering with Citizens’ Advice on Mondays, those seeking help will be able to drop in for free confidential support.

“We’re a trusted organisation on the Tower Estate and the residents understand that if they’re sharing what their needs are, we try and be quite agile and respond to that.”

The free Lunch Club runs on Mondays 11am – 1pm and provides hot soup and refreshments. Booking is essential - call 01522 533077 or email info@greensynergy.org.uk.
