New Harrogate arts group Red Wall Theatre is to launch with a social 'edge' to its shows
A new Harrogate-based community arts group that aims to bring lesser-known drama with both popular appeal and a social 'edge' to a wider audience is to be launched.
The founder members of Red Wall Theatre are Jan Williams, actor and director for many years with Harrogate's Woodlands drama group, and David Aldred, whose intercultural work brings together sound, dance, words and visuals and who presented performances in theatres across Yorkshire last year including Seven Arts in Leeds.
The new theatre group's first production will be Clement Attlee: A Modest Little Man - a comedy by journalist and author Francis Beckett.
Attlee was was Labour Prime Minister from 1945 to 1951 and founded the NHS, among other achievements.
Read-throughs and casting are in early January and performances will be at St Roberts Club in Harrogate on Friday, March 15 and Saturday, March 16.
