Under a Wide

and Starry Sky

 

starring

 

Tamara Ustinov and

Malcolm Rennie

 

Specially created for the NFRC season, Under a wide and starry sky celebrated the life and letters of Robert Louis Stevenson.

 

From a sickly childhood in Edinburgh to the farthest shores of Samoa, his life was as dramatic as any of the stories he created.

 

His poetry, fiction and life have endeared him to countless readers, and this was an opportunity to enjoy an evening in the company of the unique 'RLS'.

Kolbe's Gift

by

David Gooderson

 

 

 

 

Auschwitz, 1941. Ten men await an agonising death by starvation in an underground bunker. Maximillian Kolbe, a Polish priest, volunteers to take the place of one of the victims... What motivates such extraordinary self-sacrifice? What are the consequences for the survivors? Sixty years after the end of the Second World War this play explored the heights and depths of which human beings are capable in a passion play for our time.

 

David Gooderson, well known to Farnham audiences as an actor, directed a rehearsed reading of his hard-hitting new play.

Home and Garden

 

Come into the Garden, so successful in its 45 minute version as part of last year's Sunday evening double bill, was expanded into a full evening's entertainment.

 

The first part, called House Proud, explored the emotional relationship the English have with their houses... a light-hearted domestic tour Upstairs and Downstairs.

 

The second half, Come into the Garden, was a guided tour of the delights and agonies of gardening. No stone was left unturned, no weed unplucked, no damp corner unexplored.

 

 

 

The season was staged in St Andrew's Church, the parish church of Farnham. The church had just completed a 10-year refurbishment under the direction of Ptolemy Dean (from the BBC's Restoration series).
