Whether you're 'strictly
amateur', 'am-dram', 'non-professional', 'keeping your hand in', 'retired’,
‘resting', 'here for the beer' or maybe just 'starting out' …THIS
IS FOR YOU!
At last, an exciting, informative, fun magazine
for all amateur thespians and singers across London. And a huge
Sardines' welcome to you all!
Firstly, let's get the big question you may have
been pondering over out of the way. Why Sardines
...?
No, it's not just down to an overly passionate
love of seafood. Indeed, many of you may have already guessed after
glancing at the front cover. Yes, that's right! Inspiration swam our
way from Michael Frayn's farce about a farce, Noises off.
The funniest play ever written? Certainly, a true
standard bearer for many a society. It's a play that resonates deeply
within those artistic souls who stay up burning the midnight oil
rehearsing or hammering away at the set before the 'morrow’s run!
Our fishy title, of course, refers to Dotty's (or Mrs. Clackett's) multi-talented plate of Sardines. I hope that puts
your mind at rest, and that you may even have had a snigger of
recognition!
We hope to have the website fully functional by
the end of January, when you’ll be able to look up other
societies details as well register your own, get discounted
subscription rates and catch up on all the gossip online. Our thanks
for your patience in advance on that.
Now please don’t be shy; let me know what
you think of our new magazine including any thoughts and ideas you may
have for us to consider. You can contact me at:
