What's On?

New Era Players are looking forward to bringing to the stage the classic psychological thriller, Night Must Fall by Emlyn Williams. Set in the imperious and embittered Mrs Bramson's isolated house in the dark woods, this brooding drama explores the arrival of Dan into the lives of the occupants. Is he the father of Dora the maid's unborn child? Is he responsible for a recent murder? Mrs Bramson is taken in by his charm, but her niece, Olivia, is sceptical yet fascinated. The tension rises as we wonder who the next victim could be.

This amateur production of Night Must Fall is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk Catch the production at New Era Players on 27th- 29th November and 2nd-6th December 2025 at the New Era Theatre, Andover Road, Wash Common, Newbury RG14 6NU.

This year marks Jane Austen's 250th anniversary - she was born in 1775 and went on to become one of the most loved novelists writing in English literature.

Actors from Creation Theatre will be bringing the novel's characters to life and filming each of the 41 letters. And as a playful response to the epistolary form of the novel, we'll send our audience one short film a day, spread across 41 days, from 22nd September - 1st November. Audiences can therefore experience the novel in long-form, across 41 days, from anywhere in the world (and if you miss a day, you can catch up whenever you like ? you might choose to binge watch all 41 films at the end).

Austen's Lady Susan takes the form of 41 letters, written by the novel's fabulous characters, over a period of weeks. Lady Susan herself is one of Austen's most memorable characters - scheming, flirtatious, self-serving and yet, decidedly charming. Newly widowed, she's intent on finding herself a wealthy new husband and marrying off her sixteen year old daughter as advantageously as possible. As rumours of her reputation spread, can she convince everyone that it is all slander and she's just misunderstood?
