⭐ GOING THE DISTANCE – WORLD PREMIERE OF NEW DIGITAL COMEDY BY HENRY FILLOUX-BENNETT & YASMEEN KHAN ANNOUNCED ⭐
Going The Distance – the world premiere of a digital production of a new comedy by Henry Filloux-Bennett and Yasmeen Khan, has been announced.
When there’s no light at the end of the tunnel and the chips are down, you can count on Eggborough Community Theatre to fight back…
March 2020. Theatres across the country go dark. Hundreds of cherished arts centres face the prospect of permanent closure. But that isn’t going to stop the Eggborough Community Theatre… as they fight to save their local venue with the genius idea to put on a fundraising production of Wizard* (*inspired by but for rights purposes certainly not based on The Wizard of Oz). Get ready for a brand new comedy about a little theatre with a huge challenge.
The launch of Going The Distance comes hot on the heels of the huge success of other critically acclaimed digital productions adapted by Filloux-Bennett, including What A Carve Up!, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and most recently Yasmeen Khan’s adaptation of The Importance of Being Earnest.
The digital production will be directed by Felicity Montagu (best known for her role as ‘Lynn’ in I’m Alan Partridge, as well as numerous stage and screen credits). Further details and casting to be announced.
Going The Distance is a co-production from the Lawrence Batley Theatre, Oxford Playhouse, The Dukes and The Watermill Theatre.
Going The Distance will launch this autumn, available on demand from 4th – 17th October 2021, with tickets on general sale now.
Fabulous! ! !
