JULY 2019 There have been six theatre trips in the past month and as usual members enthused over what they had seen, particularly Dead Dog in a Suitcase (Bristol Old Vic) and Gigspanner. We are so pleased that Theatre Royal Plymouth is now offering Saturday matinees for their Drum productions.  We have contacted them several times to say how much those living further afield would appreciate this as evening transport is so poor.  We were quick to choose two of these and will be going to 'Unsung' on 14 Sept and 'The Ladder' on 29 Sept, Jenny is arranging these and doubtless a lunch will also feature. With the Kneehigh company fresh in our minds Val is organizing a trip to their Asylum marquee on Carlyon beach to see The Dancing Frog on 27 August.
