Nantwich Players will represent the North of England at the All-England Theatre Festival Final on Saturday June 7.
Their Studio production of “Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons” by Sam Steiner, directed by Bethany Gail, has made it to the national final after winning three consecutive rounds: Cheshire, Leverhulme, and the Northern Area competitions.
The final takes place at the Gladstone Theatre, in Port Sunlight.
The festival celebrates the best in one-act amateur theatre from across the country.
It brings together the top four productions from each region to compete for the national title.
Nantwich Players’ success in the Northern Area Final included awards for Best Décor, Best Actress (Holly Bevins-Jones), Best Actor (Kit Phillips) and Best Team and Overall Winner.
The average person will speak 123,205,750 words in a lifetime. But what if there were a limit?
Sam Steiner’s Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons explores a society where a daily word limit is imposed on its citizens, forcing them to rethink how they communicate and connect.
Bethany Gail, director and head of Studio at Nantwich Players, said: “It’s been a privilege to direct this production and see my vision realised by such an outstanding team.
“I could not have created this challenging play without the support of so many people: our exception actors Holly Bevins-Jones and Kit Phillips, stage manager Sandie Laughlin, technical team Luke Murphy and Jeremy Acklam, image creator Steve Bird, and VO and video performers Chris Finney and Adam Goode.
“Although we’ve reached the All-England Finals before, we’ve never taken home the trophy – but who knows… maybe this year. Fingers crossed.”
The English Final will take place this Saturday June 7.
