Details:

Steel Valley Beacon Arts are looking for an actor for a production of 'The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists' (Howard Brenton, after Robert Tressell) to be performed at the end of January 2012. This performance has been commissioned to commemorate the anniversary of Wortley Hall as a place for working people to enjoy leisure activities. The role will be a good opportunity for actors looking to expand their range and experience.



There will be 5 performances:

20th & 21st January, 7.30pm, Wortley Hall

28th Jan, 7.30pm, The Hub at Kirkburton

3rd and 4th February, 7.30pm The Venue in Stocksbridge

The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists was written in the early 1900s and follows a group of builders, painters and decorators as they struggle to make ends meet. They live in a world where poverty is always just around the corner, with no welfare state, no NHS and very few employment rights. We see the ups and downs of ordinary working people in a time when unemployment was high and wages were low. Doom and gloom, sometimes but humor and humanity, often.

Directed by Danielle Trigg with design by Sarah Lewis, professionals in their field, we feel this play is a fitting end to the Wortley Hall Remembered programme that has been running throughout the year. ‘The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists’ was first performed here in 1954 so we are honoured to bring it back to Wortley Hall as a fitting end to the season!
