The Seagull
by Anton Chekhov in a new version by David Hare
Set in late 19th century Russia, where people are experiencing change and facing an uncertain future, Chekhov’s great comedy is very relevant today. David Hare’s new version was premiered at Chichester in 2015 and transferred to the National Theatre in 2016 to great acclaim.
The next Shoestring Theatre production is at Stamford Arts Centre at 7.45pm from Tuesday 3rd to Saturday 7th March.
Last Monday a discerning group of judges visited Wing to judge the Advent Windows.
Led by ‘senior judge ‘ aka Jo Douglas, a group from Nordic Walkit took on the unenviable task of selecting ‘Best in Show’.
After a careful walk around the village, they returned to Joanne Beaver’s home for seasonal refreshments.
Fuelled by soup, garlic bread, mulled wine and mince pies, the debate raged, all shouting for their favourite. Finally after several rounds of voting, by the narrowest margins, the final selection was agreed. So Congratulations to Ros and Robert King ,Carolyn and Mike Sayers and Sally Rowsell and Family.
Thank You, Rhiannon, for organising it.
Tomorrow Saturday 21st December is this year’s last Oakham Farmers Market from 8am to 2pm in Gaol Street. Get stocked up with Wing’s Vivia Crump’s Chutneys and Relishes and Sausage rolls. Also Christmas gift packs of two or three chutneys for sale.
