2011 Spring Tour
Highly acclaimed and award winning ImpAct Theatre , well known for presenting
some of the most professional amateur drama in the local area, will embark on
its 2011 Spring Tour on Saturday 12 March
when its production of ‘The Beauty Queen of Leenane’ written by
Martin McDonagh opens at West Moors Memorial Hall.
This deliciously dark tragic-comedy takes place in a dismal cottage in the
backwaters of Connemara, where a mother and daughter exist in a state of
permanent combat and in a seriously dysfunctional relationship, laced with
moments of outrageous humour, and where emotions spiral dangerously out of
control……..
This play that is disturbingly moving, entertaining and funny with brilliantly
sustained tension was written in 1996 by Irish playwright Martin McDonagh and
was recently revived by the
Young
Vic
Theatre
in
London
.
This production is in the capable hands of highly respected director Patricia
Richardson who was also responsible for directing last year’s critically
acclaimed tour production of The York Realist.
It will subsequently play on March 15 at
Broadstone War Memorial Hall, March 17 at The Hub - Verwood, March 18 at
Durweston Village Hall and the following evening March 19 at Lytchett Matravers
Village Hall. All performances will commence at 7.45pm.
The cast is Linda Denning, Joanne Owen, Neil Mathieson and Scott
McGarrick.
ImpAct Theatre, whose previous productions have included Oleanna, The
Glass Menagerie, Brimstone and Treacle, My Mother Said……, The Prime of Miss
Jean Brodie, Death and the Maiden,.’Night Mother, Bazaar and Rummage and
Someone Who’ll Watch Over Me is not a club or society but simply a small group
of drama enthusiasts who get together to undertake theatrical productions of a
particularly challenging or inspirational nature.
The cast and production team is usually put together by invitation,
selected from the very best of local theatrical talent.
In the fifteen years since its inception, ImpAct Theatre has won a
fistful of awards and a well-deserved reputation for striving to present theatre
of the highest possible quality.
