Sevenoaks Player present ‘The Great Gatsby’ by F.Scott Fitzgerald.

The bold, colourful, decadent emotional and frenetic Jay Gatsby, a self-made millionaire, passionately pursues the elusive Daisy Buchanan.

Nick Carraway, a young newcomer to Long Island, is drawn into the world of obsession, greed and danger.

A snappy script by Simon Levy staying true to the Fitzgerald’s words, delivers what is the best of the popular novel.

Sevenoaks Players have created striking visuals and highly engaging live music, combined to create a truly immersive vision of the Roaring Twenties, the jazz age that will make this a truly grand Gatsby!

The show is being performed at the Stag Theatre, click here to book your seats.

Set in 1912 this play begins rather like a thriller with the enigmatic Inspector Goole disrupting Sheila Birling’s engagement party, to hold the family to account for the suicide of a young woman.

As the play unfolds you find out all is not as it seems. Who is Inspector Goole? Is his conviction that ‘we are all responsible for each other’ shared by the family?

The play premiered in Moscow in 1945- Priestley being one of the few British writers to be invited to the Soviet Union, a year later it was performed at the New ( now the Noel Coward) theatre London with Ralph Richardson as the Inspector.

From the Film with Alastair Sim.

Almost ten later a film was made with Alastair Sim as the witty inspector.

The most recent Award winning production was at the Wyndham’s Theatre in 2009 and continued touring until 2012.

Rehearsals are well under way for this new play, coming very soon!

The Sevenoaks Players present ‘The Trial’ by Anthony Booth we will be performing on the 1st March at 7.30pm.

The play is about three women are waiting in a cellar. One is a captain in an organization pledged to bring freedom to the city which is in the throes of a struggle for power; another is a witness; the third is an informer in the coming trial.

A frightened girl is brought in and severely questioned regarding her alleged betrayal to the authorities of hidden stocks of ammunition. She is acquitted of betrayal but led away to be punished for fraternization.

The proceedings have, however, uncovered the guilt of another woman present-the informer herself.
