Kingsbridge Amateur Theatrical Society would like to thank local audiences for their support during the recent run of Fiddler on the Roof.

The show played to appreciative houses every night and compliments were paid to the cast and crew for what has been a very successful show.

People have described the performance as “fantastic”, “outstanding” and “brilliant".

One person said: “I was absolutely blown away by Fiddler last night. A truly fantastic performance worthy of a West End stage. It made me laugh, cry, wowed me and was very thought provoking. The principles were outstanding especially Anthony Chamberlain. I loved Frumah-Sarah’s scene and so much more.

“Incredible strong ensemble and the dances were…well, amazing” they added.

KATS are already preparing for their next production, the comedy thriller ‘Murder in Play’ by Simon Brett. He has written prolifically for the stage, TV and Radio and has also written many mystery novels which entertain with humour, eccentric characters and intricate plot twists.

The group are always keen to encourage new, young talent and are delighted to announce that KATS’ member Beth Tucker will be directing the play.

After graduating from Aberystwyth University with a degree in Drama and Education, Beth said she was “very excited” to be directing for the first time.

Read throughs for the play are planned for May 8 and 10 and auditions will take place on Tuesday, May 15.

New members interested in getting involved in the production in any way should contact Pat Barlow on 01548 853827 or contact the society via the website at www.kats-kingsbridge.co.uk.
