Yesterday evening The Apollo was crammed with talent and purpose.
A rehearsal, you ask?
No!
Two rehearsals, for two separate and very different productions.
In the auditorium, on a stage which is gradually growing rostra (rostrums? rostrii? The debate raged) the cast, musical director and director of The Shakespeare Revue were singing and playing up a storm. Songs, dances, sketches – all need practice to ensure all ten cast members are perfectly in harmony and in step on the nights, as well as honing those acting skills. It's going to be lots of fun and laughter for the audience if the enjoyment of the cast is anything to go by.
Over in the bar another group of Apollo members are just starting to rehearse the production set to follow The Shakespeare Revue.
This first of our new season, it is a smaller, mainly female cast, performing a mystery drama set in Victorian times. Ladies in Retirement follows events in the life of a retired gentle woman and her companion whose two sisters come to stay. One lady mysteriously disappears: where has she gone and who is responsible?
Whether your taste is for drama that keeps you on the edge of your seat, or for music, comedy and dance that you can clap and laugh along to, come along to The Apollo and we guarantee you'll be entertained.
