Spelthorne Festival Results

Very well done to writer Graham Collier (aka Luffy McTuggle) and the whole Stay’d For team at the Spelthorne and Runnymeade Drama Festival last night.  After a very positive adjudication on the final night of the festival, up against stiff competition (6 new plays having been entered) Ottershaw Players came away with the “Best New Play” trophy.  They also received nominations for Stage Presentation and Technical Merit which was a great achievement and excellent follow up to the previous weeks’ success at Woking Drama Festival.

Congratulations also go to Graham for a fantastic acting performance for RDG (who won the festival) as he won the Best Actor Trophy.

Christmas Production Auditions

Dear Players

Are you Free? I know I am.

As I am sure that you know by now, Ottershaw Players will be presenting: ‘Are you Being Served’ as their December production.

The play is an adaption of the well known Television comedy (in fact it is an adaption of the film of the tv program).

The play is set in the Department Store and in Spain (where there is a revolution going on). It is extremely funny and full of pun and innuendo.

AUDITIONS will take place:

This Sunday (22nd September ) at Brook Hall in Ottershaw from 7.30 pm

And

Tuesday (24th September) Chobham Club (Windsor Road, Chobham, GU24 8LD) from 7.30 pm.

I hope to see you there.

If you cant make it but would still like to be considered please email me (matthew.horton1@gmail.com) or give me a ring

All the best

Matthew

Made Glorious Summer

Made Glorious Summer, written and directed by Graham Collier, won Best New Play and the script was put forward in 2011 by the Spelthorne & Runnymede adjudicator (Mike Kaiser) for the National George Taylor Memorial Award 2011/2012.  The judging process has taken some time, but we are very pleased to announce that the script was awarded 3rd place.

There were 3 judges, here is an exerpt from some of their comments:

“It is full of vigour and presence, and the author/adaptor has chosen cleverly.  The characters are lifted off the page and become real and huge.  We are sucked into this story and hardly dare breathe as we watch the entrapment of Ethan unfold.”

Many congratulations to Graham, a great result especially for his first play!


Please come and support Graham’s second play “Stay’d For”, which is currently in rehearsals for the October Festival season.

At Woking Drama Festival, it will be performed on Friday October 11th, at 7pm and Spelthorne & Runymeade Festival will be performed on Saturday October 25th, at 7pm

Jim Gallimore RIP

With great sadness I must inform you that one of our long standing and very supportive members, James (Jim) Gallimore, died in hospital last Friday evening, May 10th, from complications following intensive care treatments for a recently diagnosed brain tumour and associated medical conditions.
A more detailed tribute to Jim will be published shortly. OP’s of course, knew Jim for his involvement with local theatre and drama, but he was well known in the Ottershaw village and the local area for involment in many other community activities.

Jim’s funeral will be held on Friday 24th May; a short cremation / committal service at Woking Crematorium at 10.15am, followed by a thanksgiving / celebration service at Christ Church, Ottershaw at 11.00am. All are welcome to both services and afterwards at the side rooms at the church.

Jim and Shirley’s nominated charity is “Friends of The Royal Marsdon Hospital” and donations can be made at the crematorium or church.  Alternatively, they can be sent c/o the funeral directors:

Wortts Funeral Directors
90 Station Road
Addlestone
KT15 2AD

We send our sympathies and condolences to Shirley and her and Jim’s families. He will be greatly missed.
