THE RIDDLE OF THE SANDS 11th-28th March 2010 Tongue-in-cheek humour meets edge-of-the-seat suspense in this Edwardian tale of intrigue and espionage which introduced the genre of the spy thriller and inspired a whole generation of writers including John Le Carre and Ian Fleming. This production, which received a fantastic reaction from the press and audiences when it toured last year, will return for a short regional tour from 11th - 28th March before it begins a London run at Jermyn Street Theatre in Piccadilly in May. When Foreign Office high flyer Carruthers agrees to a late summer break sailing the German Frisian Islands with a old university chum, he pictures a lazy cruise on a luxury yacht. But his dreams are shattered when he finds himself forced to crew the charmingly eccentric ‘Dulcibella’ with his boat-mad friend at the helm. It seems as though things can’t get any worse, but not even the hazards of ship-board life can prepare Carruthers for the terrifying adventure that is to come. A fast moving storyline, quickfire character changes, imaginative physical work and simple staging combine to create a brilliant evening’s entertainment.   INFORMATION REGIONAL TOUR 11th - 23rd March Friday 12th March The Astor Community Theatre, Deal, Kent (01304) 381134 Mon-Sat Sunday 14th March Teynham Community Hall, Nr Sittingbourne, Kent (01795) 522699 (day) or (01795) 521916 (eve) Thursday 18th March, Temple Ewell Village Hall, Temple Ewell, Kent (01304) 823598 Friday 19th March St Nicholas Church, New Romney, Kent (01797) 366959 Saturday 20th March Rodmersham Village Hall, Nr Sittingbourne, Kent (01795) 423700 (daytime only) Sunday 21st March Chiddingly Village Hall, Chiddingly, Lewes, E Sussex (01825) 872401 (eves only) Tuesday 23rd March Bodle Street Green Village Hall, Hailsham, E Sussex (01323) 833554 or 833343 Wednesday 24th March Blue Town Heritage Centre, Isle of Sheppey, Kent (01795) 662981 Mon-Sat 10am-3pm Thur 25th, Fri 26th and Sat 28th March Ellen Terry Barn Theatre, Tenterden, Kent (01424) 440484 Sunday 28th March Theatre Royal Margate, Margate, Kent 0845 130 1786 or 01227 787787 LONDON RUN 5th - 22nd May Jermyn Street Theatre, 16b Jermyn Street, Piccadilly 020 7287 2875 Matinees and evening performances BECOME A CHALKFOOT 'ANGEL' £100 Donation before 19th February brings you: 2 tickets to the Gala Night (4th May) to celebrate with the cast and director Your name in the souvenir programme Call us on (01843) 280077 if you would like to become one of our Angels << Home Page
