⭐ NOËL COWARD’S STILL LIFE – IMMERSIVE PRODUCTION ANNOUNCED FOR THE MILL AT SONNING ⭐
An immersive theatrical event comes to The Mill at Sonning’s Waterwheel Bar, it has been announced.
The bar is to be transformed into the refreshment room at Milford Junction railway station. The year is 1936. The play is Still Life, that poignant and romantic tale of forbidden love written by Noël Coward, the inspiration for David Lean’s classic film Brief Encounter.
Surely one of the most haunting love stories ever told about the secret love affair between suburban housewife Laura Jesson and an idealistic doctor, Alex Harvey, who, after a brief encounter, meet at the station cafe over the course of several weeks.
The audience will sit at tables in the bar as if they are actually in the railway station itself, with live music and steam train effects to add atmosphere. And waiters and waitresses dressed in period clothes.
Audience members can have lunch, supper or afternoon cream tea or just a cup of coffee with a Bath Bun, and while finishing your repast the play will begin right there amongst you.
Still Life will star Alasdair Craig (War Horse), Rachel Pickup (The 39 Steps), Elizabeth Elvin (The Mousetrap), Antony Jardine (The Secret Garden) and Emily Panes (Cinderella at the Barn).
The production will be directed by Tam Wiliams with sound & lighting by Graham Weymouth and costume by Natalie Titchener.
Still Life will play the Mill at Sonning, running from 20th – 29th January 2022, with tickets on sale now.
