Our first show of 2017 is Posting
Letters to the Moon, based on wartime letters written by actress Celia Johnson -
best known for her iconic role in the 1945 classic Brief Encounter - to
her husband Peter Fleming (brother of Bond-creator Ian) who was then posted in
India.
Funny and moving, Celia's letters describe the rigours of rationing, her work as an Auxiliary Policewoman and occasional farm labourer as well as her more glamorous life on the set of films such as Brief Encounter, with director David Lean and co-star Trevor Howard, and her friendships with the likes of Joyce Grenfell and Noel Coward.

The performance stars Celia
Johnson's daughter, Lucy Fleming, and her husband Simon
Williams, who will be familiar to fans of The Archers as Justin
and Miranda Elliot on BBC Radio 4 as well as for their many other stage and
screen credits.
We look forward to seeing you for what promises to be a
heart-warming start to the new season.
The bar will be open from 6pm and the performance begins at 7pm.
