Danny, the Champion of the World – in Frodsham

FRODSHAM Players will be going outdoors with their next production – weather permitting.
They are currently busy rehearsing for their production of “Danny, the Champion of the World” – a delightful Roald Dahl story, adapted by David Wood, which both children and adults will enjoy.
It will be presented in the open air at St Laurence Church green on Thursday and Friday, June 28-29 at 7.30pm, with matinee performances on Saturday June 30 and Sunday July 1 at 4pm.
Members of the audience are invited to bring a chair and a picnic.
If the weather is wet, the show will move into the church.
Set In 1950s England, the story tells how young Danny lives in a motor home with his father, William, next to the garage that William owns and operates just outside a small village.
Local businessman Victor Hazell has quietly been buying up the woods surrounding William’s garage to develop into a housing estate, but William refuses to sell. When Hazell organizes a pheasant shoot to woo the local upper crust in aid of his plans, Danny and his father plot their revenge.
The play will be directed by Michael Mills and the part of Danny will be played by Charlie Ashbrook, who is making his debut with the Players.
Tickets are £5.00 and can be purchased by ringing the Box office: 07754 455809 or online at www.frodshamplayers.com or from Dandelion in Church Street, Frodsham.
