IT'S OFFICIAL
TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW!
for the 2019 Wells Theatre Festival.
We've got a great programme with 35 performances over the weekend of 11 – 14 July. The festival welcomes two of this country’s most accomplished actresses, Imogen Stubbs (True Colors, Sense and Sensibility) and Susannah Harker (Mattie in the original, UK version of A House of Cards and Jane Bennett TV adaptation of Pride and Prejudice also starring Colin Firth).
Other highlights include the return of award winning playwright and actor Jonathan Guy Lewis who this year will direct his new, highly acclaimed production, Soldier On in The Bishop’s Barn. Working with Amanda Faber and The Soldiers’ Arts Academy, the 16-strong acting company is made up of a combination of professional actors and veterans, who have experienced trauma following military service. ‘F**K me its funny’ (Sunday Times), ‘From front line to Chorus Line’ (Evening Standard).
Over half the programme this year is children’s theatre including Somerset’s Holdern Ciani’s production of The Railway Children in Cedar’s Hall. Local child actors have already been cast to play the leading roles alongside a professional cast in a brand new musical adaptation of the well-loved classic story.
