When Robbie, a contract electrician, mistakenly enters the room of a resident in a care home, he doesn't know what he's letting himself in for.

Two sisters meet up at their late mother’s house to clear it out. They find that their memories and perceptions of their parents and their childhood aren’t quite what they thought they were.

What did you expect?
Have we abandoned Harvey? No! Undeterred by the lockdown, Director William Tombs and a great cast have had enough virtual rehearsals to stage an online performance. Unfortunately, The Roses won’t be open in time for our planned September performances -
8th and 9th May 2021!
Our next production -
Harvey
in The Roses Theatre,
8/9 May 2021
Delayed but not daunted
Wyrd Sisters
TADS, like the rest of the world, has been affected by lockdown. We haven’t been able to meet or rehearse in the real world, but we haven’t given up! We will be arranging a meeting at some point; we will be restarting rehearsals for Harvey; and as long as it’s possible, we will be putting on a performance in May 2021.
Please follow our Facebook page so that you can have regular updates. apted byStephen Briggs.
Wyrd Sisters is TADS’ next production, to be presented at the Roses Theatre on 23rd and 24th March 2019. Rehearsals are held on Monday evenings at Tewkesbury Town Hall.
How’s it going?
