We are pleased to announce that for our March production we are going to do something a little different.
In the year which sees the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe SADC is collaborating with historians on an exciting production to explore how the lives of Carshalton residents were affected by the war. SADC members, Ella McDonnell and David Thompson, have worked with the historical researchers, Margaret Thomas and Bev Walker, to research the lives of Carshalton residents who have left records of their experiences.
This production has been created by Ella and David based on records which have survived, either in diaries or written recollections, and aims to bring to life what it was like to live in Carshalton in those difficult and dangerous years. It will be a celebration of the grit and determination of the people of the borough who survived despite the bombs and deprivations, but it will also be a tribute to those local residents who were not so lucky and who did not survive, whether at home or abroad.
The production will tell all these stories through monologues, dramatised scenes, radio broadcasts and musical entertainment, to provide the backdrop to the stories of the people whose lives and experiences we will explore. It promises to be a very special production in an important anniversary year.
Auditions will be held on Thursday 12th December 2024 and an audition notice will be sent out soon.
