Last year they played King John and The Bastard and their roles this year include Rosalind and Orlando as well as Ophelia and Horatio, so we are particularly pleased that Pippa and Alex have readily agreed to take time out of their busy schedule to speak to the Friends.

Stephen Boxer - Book Online
Saturday 29 June, 10.30am
Holy Trinity Parish Centre
Stephen Boxer has been a 'regular' in the RSC for several years but we don't think we've ever invited him to speak to the Friends before so we are especially pleased that he has agreed (on the first day of rehearsals!) to do just that. This will be an exciting season for him as among his roles will be that of Titus Andronicus.
Tickets £5 Friends/£6 Guests/£2.50 under 18s. Booking closes on 27 June at 10.30am
