Yet again, history's cess pool - I mean, gene pool - has thrown up another typical descendant of the Blackadder dynasty. This version of Edmund Blackadder can be found in the Regency period, serving, somewhat resentfully, as butler to the none-too-bright Prince George, son of none-too-sane King George III, and aided, as ever, by his dogsbody, Mr S. Baldrick. We shall be reproducing upon the stage for your entertainment three episodes from his life, as follows:
There will be four performances, from 2nd to 5th September 2026 at the DTG Studio, commencing at 7:30pm. Tickets will be on sale nearer the time.
We meet on most Tuesdays and Fridays from 7:30pm at The Studio, our home behind Timeline Auctions (formerly Harwich Magistrates Court), and perform several productions a year.
To find out more about membership of DTG, click here.
We have a loyal group of Friends who support us, and enjoy regular social and fund-raising events.
A list of our past productions can be found here.
We welcome new members who are interested in all aspects of amateur theatre, including (but not limited to) acting, set design & construction, prop-making, stage management, costumes, sound and lighting. Whether your interests are artistic or technical, creative or organisational, or if you don't know and want a friendly place to find out, join us - we'll have a role for you! New members don't start paying subscriptions until the next quarter, so you can get to know us first.
Subscriptions are £60/year from September to August, payable annually, quarterly or monthly. Standing order form available on request.
To start the ball rolling, just get in touch.
Access to the Studio is via Manor Lane, off Highfield Avenue, and chiefly on foot.
There is a small parking area on site, so if you have mobility problems, please get in touch and we can make arrangements for you to park there.
From Highfield Avenue, head along Manor Lane in the direction of Lime Avenue until you reach the double gates at the corner of the site.
There is signage just inside for the various groups who use the site, including ourselves.
Once you're through the gate, make your way up the path to the ramp at the top.
Continue between two single-storey huts - the Boxing Club on your left and 'We Are Music' (formerly the Rock School) on your right till you reach the two-storey brick building, which is the Studio.
Go round this building to the opposite corner where you will find the entrance.
Turn left on entering, and our main performance/rehearsal space is just through the door.
To join, simply let us have your name and e-mail address, or your postal address if you don't have e-mail, and we will send you news of our forthcoming productions, as well as social and fund-raising events. We won't swamp you with messages or pass your details on to anyone else, and if you ever need to unsubscribe, just let us know.
