‘Posting Letters To The Moon’

Letters to the Moon

Click Here to Book Your TIckets in advance : £18.00
(Tickets are non-refundable)

A romantic, funny and very touching portrait of life during the Second World War featuring readings of letters between Oscar-nominated actress Celia Johnson (Brief Encounter) and her explorer and writer husband Peter Fleming (brother of James Bond creator Ian Fleming) who was posted to India and the Far East during the war working for Military Intelligence.

Not only are the letters highly engaging, but they also provide a fascinating historical insight into that time of true austerity and fearfulness.

‘… simply spellbinding performance…revealing an abundance of love and affection between ordinary people caught in extraordinary times… a theatrical gem’. British Theatre Guide.

The letters are read by their daughter Lucy Fleming (Love Sarah, Miranda in The Archers) and her husband Simon Williams (Upstairs Downstairs, Justin in The Archers, EastEnders) and give an insight into a young mother’s life coping during the war and tell of Celia Johnson’s experience of filming with Noel Coward, David Lean and her thoughts while making the classic film Brief Encounter in 1945.

‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ by Tennessee Williams

St Austell Players : "Streetcar Named Desire"

St Austell Players present Tennessee Williams’ “A Streetcar Named Desire”

Blanche Dubois arrives in New Orleans from the rural Mississippi plantation where she and her sister Stella grew up.

It is 1947 and the world has changed.

Stella has married a ‘common’ working man who looked so glamorous in uniform with his medals on show.  Blanche is looking for happiness but can she find it amongst Stanley’s bawdy, poker playing friends?

The weather and the music are hot, the neighbourhood is mixed, rowdy and crowded and Blanche must try to navigate this strange new world.

Stella tries to keep the peace in her tiny apartment as tensions build.
