THE YOUNG THEATRE PROMOTERS
Young Theatre Promoters
Set up by HRAEN in 2014 as part of the Partnership Investment Scheme, the young theatre promoters were a group of performing arts students from Robertsbridge Community College, who work with Applause Rural Touring and Robertsbridge Arts Partnership to bring a variety of professional show to the college for their peers. By working closely with performers and bringing them in for workshops additional to the performance the idea is to encourage more students to see the live show.
All performances were selected, booked and promoted by the YTP's supported by staff and partners.

Compelling and superbly performed.’ British Theatre Guide |

MAGNIFICENT MEN REVIEW
This was a really great show brought to us from the Applause Rural Touring scheme.
A story of daring, and perhaps a little madness, brought to life by these two wonderful actors, a fantastic script and a few props that really showed the fragility of the aircraft in which they crossed the Atlantic. It was a clever interpretation of a simple tale and really left us thinking...why don't more people know the amazing adventure of Capt.John Alcock and Lt. Arthur Whitten Brown...after all they really are national heroes? The audience thoroughly enjoyed the performance, they laughed all the way through and left great feedback for us. We are really looking forward to presenting our next show. All the best from the Young Theatre Promoters. |
THOSE MAGNIFICENT MEN
20th March
Robertsbridge Community College
Theatre by Brian Mitchell and Joseph Nixon. Award-winning theatre company The Foundary Group joins BBC4 sketch group The Ornate Johnsons for this brand new staging of the hit play about British pioneering aviators Capt.John Alcock and Lt. Arthur Whitten Brown and their daredevil dash across the Atlantic in a converted Vickers biplane.
In this glorified kite they flew from newfoundland through dense fog, sleet, snow and hail - sometimes updside down - to Ireland and worldwide celebrity. What made they do it? Why have they been forgotten? And how can a couple of actors tell it all with just cardboard, two chairs and some left-over props? Starring The Ornate Johnsons' Brian Mitchell and David Mountfield (Count Arthur Strong's Radio Show and This Is Jinsy) Check them out on Facebook or Twitter Tickets: Adult £6 in advance £7 on the door
Concessions and RAP members: £5 in advance £6 on the door tickets from: jcrouch@robertsbridge.org.uk |
