Our next production will be a brand-new adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic novel, Great Expectations.
To celebrate Molière’s 400th birthday this year, Circle 67 will be touring a new translation of The Miser around the Blyth valley. This is the third Molière comedy that we’ve performed and is just as funny as Mamamouchi and Tartuffe. It’s the story of a covetous old miser who loves money above everything else, obsessively protecting his hoard of gold while mistreating his children under a tyrannical, penny-pinching rule. But both children have fallen in love, setting the stage for a comical battle between love and money.
After last year’s temporary hiatus, Circle 67 is delighted to confirm the return of our Summer Shakespeare Tour with a shortened version of "Much Ado About Nothing”.
The 28th of April 2021 will see the curtain fall on the 41st and final night of Circle 67’s Lockdown Theatre. What started out as an attempt to keep our group connected during the dark days of the pandemic, has evolved to become a weekly Zoom performance that has debuted nearly 80 plays to our local supporters and a new international audience. Obviously it’s great news that we are slowly returning to more traditional ways of meeting (see our new Summer Shakespeare post) but I think it’s worth reflecting on what we have all achieved during this difficult phase in our lives.
They shall be my East and West Indies,
and I will trade to them both.
