‘Meet the Residents’

Our Thespian’s will be in Ryde Library on Tuesday 2 October 2018 at 2pm. with their ‘Meet the Residents’ characters, bringing history to life for your enjoyment. Come along to see us and partake of the library’s wonderful hospitality, not forgetting the lovely tea and cakes after the performance.

The characters this time will be people who had lived to a great age, to work in conjunction with the theme of ‘Celebrating Age’ week 1 – 7 October.

We are not professional actors and we ad-lib a bit, but what we say is taken from the extensive research made about the lives of the characters who lived in Ryde. There are serious bits and funny light-hearted parts. Come and join in the fun, we look forward to seeing you there.
