The 1812 Theatre Company

The Sea by Edward Bond, Spring 2009




We are the resident amateur theatre company of Helmsleys Arts Centre. We mount at least three productions per year in the main theatre and about two smaller ones in the studio.
 
New members are always welcome, both as actors on stage and as technicians and helpers backstage.
 
So whether you're experienced in theatre work or are an absolute beginner, do get in touch if you're interested in joining us. We'll almost certainly be able to involve you. There's somebody new in almost every production we do.

If you are interested please contact:

Our next productions


Wed 20 - Sat 23 Oct at 7.30pm

The world premiere of  
Steak Frites    by Martin Vander Weyer

An Anglo-French comedy of manners
Lost on holiday in deepest rural France, Clive and Amanda stop for lunch at Chez
Henri, where a talkative Englishman at the next table, Paul, recommends the menu du jour. But Clive doesn’t like French cuisine, chef Henri doesn’t like difficult customers, Paul likes making mischief, and Amanda can never finish her sentences. A comedy of personal and international misunderstanding, with a powerful whiff of garlic.
