Harleston Players present Waiting For God

7:30pm at Archbishop Sancroft High School, Wilderness Lane, Harleston

The popular TV series Waiting for God ran for five series in the early 1990's. A play verison was suggested at the time, but author Michael Aitkens was too busy to consider it. But thirty years later, he considered again and here is the outcome.

Set in Bayview Retirement Home, run by slimy, out-for-profit Harvey Baines, ex-war correspondent/photographer

Diana Trent is furious at where life has now landed her and determined to make her presence felt at every opportunity.

In the neighbouring apartment is ex-accountant Tom Ballard, deposited here as his daughter-in-law can't stand him in the house any longer. Far from being upser and resentful, he optimistically regards this as the next adventure.

Performances at 7.30pm. Tickets priced £10.00, available from 1st October at Robinson's Traditional Stationers and online from  www.harlestonplayers.co.uk

"THE LAST BUS"   12A rated  under 16s must be accompanied by an adult

starring Timophy Spall & Phyllis Logan

Matinee 2pm;   Evening 7.30pm  (doors open 1.30pm and 7pm)

Venue:  Harleston Masonic Rooms, Redenall Road

All required Covid measures will be taken in accordance with current guidelines.  Masks are kindly requested when moving around the venue, but not required when seated.

Timothy Spall gives another performance of a lifetime in The Last Bus, as a pensioner on a poignant mission from John O’ Groats to Lands End with the aid his free bus pass

80-something Tom, whose wife has just passed away, uses his free bus pass to travel from John O’Groats to Lands End where they first met, using only local buses. It’s a nostalgic trip, but he’s also carrying his wife's ashes in a small suitcase, `taking her back'. In the course of his travels he interacts with local people, and by the end of his trip he has become a celebrity. With his map of the UK, precious brown suitcase and habit of nodding off, he learns to rely on a string of kind-hearted strangers, from hen-night revellers to a Ukrainian wedding

Ice creams at the interval;  bar also available for the evening screening
