Habeus Corpus - Bordon Whitehill Arts Festival July 17, 2010

The Bordon & Whitehill Arts Festival continues at The Phoenix Theatre & Arts Centre as they present Habeas Corpus, a saucy farce by Alan Bennett this week at their theatre in Station Road, Bordon.

The production runs from Wednesday 14 to Saturday 17 July at 7.30pm and is being performed by students who have attended the Phoenix Acting Diploma Course throughout the year.

Professional actors Rowan Suart (Lady Rumpers) and Deborah Crowe (Mrs Swabb) join the cast, which is directed by Course Director, Simon Downing. Alan Bennett’s dry humour and satirical wit abounds in this farcical comedy where the permissive society is taken to task as the characters move in and out through a maze of mistaken identities.

The Phoenix Acting Diploma is a one year part-time course providing professional training for people over 16 years of age who are interested in developing their stage craft skills and working towards quality performance. It is ideal for those who may be considering going to full time Drama College and entering the world of professional theatre or for amateur drama enthusiasts who would like to make the transition to the professional stage.

The aim of the course is to give an intensive training in stagecraft and technique with emphasis on movement and voice production. Applications are now open for September. For tickets - £8(7 concessions) to see Habeas Corpus, or for details about the Diploma contact The Box Office 01420 472664 or email:info@phoenixarts.co.uk or got to: www.phoenixarts.co.uk.
