S4Ep8 Backstage with Brentwood’s Oldest Theatre Club

The Marlborough Dramatic Club has been putting on plays for the people of Brentwood for one hundred and twenty five years, and members are currently rehearsing their latest production, ‘Kind Hearts and Coronets’ by Roy Horniman.

The Marlborough Dramatic Club meets at Brentwood School and performs in the school’s Memorial Hall. The Brentwood Buzz has been along to rehearsals to find out about the club’s history and to meet up with some of the cast – who, it turns out, are old friends of the podcast.

Kind Hearts and Coronets is on at the Memorial Hall, Brentwood School, on 9th, 10th and 11th April, and you can get tickets by calling 07746 915348 or online at http://www.marlboroughdramaticclub.uk

S4Ep3 High Fashion and Social Media – it’s all Much Ado About Nothing

1:4:9 Productions is back with the Bard at the Brentwood Theatre at the end of February with a high-fashion production of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing.

1:4:9 have turned to social media to bring the comedy firmly into modern times, and with family disputes, too much money, a leather-trousered baddie and a female actor playing the male lead, it’s a show not to miss.

The Brentwood Buzz has been to rehearsals to find out how family ties and man-spreading are all part of the drama.

Tickets for Much Ado About Nothing (26th-28th February) are available from Brentwood Theatre – https://brentwood-theatre.co.uk/ – or you can hover over the QR code on the flyer and book there!

TBB S3Ep19 Backstage with the Brentwood Musical Theatre Society

Brentwood is fortunate to have a unending succession of keen amateur and professional singers, dancers, actors and musicians who perform regularly in musicals, plays and concerts in venues throughout the town.

This month Brentwood Musical Theatre Society – formerly Brentwood Operatic Society – is staging Rock of Ages at the Brentwood Theatre from 21st-25th October, bringing a hit of the 1980s to all those who love a ra-ra skirt and mobile phones the size of bricks.

The Brentwood Buzz joined the team for a rehearsal and to find out what makes the BMTS members give up their time and skills to put on a show.
