GHOST WRITER

IN OUR LONG HISTORY, we had never visited the overflowing catalogue of David Tristram plays, (This year he is celebrating 10,000 performances of his works worldwide), until we staged “Going Green” earlier this year.

We were delighted by the audiences’ responses to a comedy that was “different” and “thought-provoking”. So, now we find ourselves staging another “different” Tristram comedy! “‘Ghost Writer’ is a funny, haunting, farcical whodunit.

SYNOPSIS:- A year ago, a London theatre company staged a production of Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” - At the last-night party was one Edward Pinfold, a promising playwright, and husband of the talented but tempestuous actress, Ruby, who had played Ophelia.

Tragically, that very night, Ruby - a renowned reveller with a reputation for burning the candle at all three ends - was found dead in bed. The theatre world went into a state of mourning that barely lasted into the afternoon. One year later, however, Edward remains deeply affected. In the attic room of his friend’s house, where he has sought sanctuary, his typewriter stands neglected. It is the first anniversary of Ruby’s death… and a series of strange events is about to unfold.

We do hope that you will come along to give yourself an evening of entertainment. We really do value your support as we, at MTTG, work hard to bring a variety of stage productions to your local venue.

“GHOST WRITER” is to be staged at THORNTON COMMUNITY CENTRE from Wednesday 27th to Saturday 30th September at 7.30 nightly. Tickets are priced at £6 and are available on 07438 508166 or by contacting mttg. theatre@gmail.com

Are YOU interested in seeing how the Group works?

Are you brimming with ideas and enthusiasm? Come along to rehearsals.

When we put this play to bed, (as the saying goes!), in September, we will have already begun planning for our next production. We need new ideas, new enthusiasms and new members.

There are many aspects to explore in an amateur drama group, and we all have a part to play. (Forgive the pun!) If you are new to our locality….or if you have lived here for ages but never got around to it ... and are interested in seeing how the Group works, we are currently rehearsing on Wednesday evenings, at Thornton Community Centre, at 7.30 p.m. You are most welcome to drop in. We would be very happy to see you.
