The Titfield Thunderbolt

The Titfield Thunderbolt is a funny, nostalgic and chaotic play that is sure you to make you laugh out loud.

It is set in 1952 in the fictional village of Titfield, somewhere in England. When the branch line between Titfield and Mallingford is threatened with closure by the Government because it is losing money, various locals including the vicar, take matters into their own hands to try and run the train service themselves. With lots of high jinks, may-hem and the help of the audience, they try to overcome Ministerial Inspection and the local con-man Vernon Crump, who sets up a rival bus service…..but can they succeed??

Come along and find out on the 20th – 23rd October at the Warehouse Theatre in Ilminster.

All aboard for The Titfield Thunderbolt!

 

 

Written by Philip Goulding and based on the classic Ealing Comedy screenplay by T.E.B. Clarke

Toms Midnight Garden

This play is an adaptation of Philippa Pearce’s 1950s classic boy’s nightlyvoyage to a Victorian past. Quarantined in his Aunt’s and Uncle’s stuffy flat because his brother has measles, Tom is restless and bored. intrigued by a Grandfather clock, religiously wound by the elderly owner of the house, Mrs. Bartholomew, Tom is startled one night to hear the clock strike thirteen! Slipping out of bed he goes to what in his time is a concrete backyard, only to discover a beautiful Victorian garden of the 1880s. He meets the unhappy orphan, Hatty, who initially is the only person who can see him, and he visits her each night at the same hour, writing enthusiastically to his brother, Peter, about his adventures. But although Tom stays the same exuberant 10-year-old, Hatty grows into a young woman during these visits. Before the story can reach its outcome, Tom has to return to his parents, but the truth is revealed in a touching denouement.
