PLAYERS LOOK TO NOVEMBER TO STAGE PRODUCTION:

By Brian Bennett

The Morpeth St George’s Community Players were forced to postpone their springtime production ‘Ladies Day’ by Amanda Whittington in guidance with the Government’s measures to help stop the spread of the coronavirus. The players had been scheduled to tread the boards from Thursday to Saturday March 19-21 in the Church Hall before the play was put on hold three days beforehand. Jared Johnson, chairman of the group, said: “We are looking at it as a postponement rather than a total cancellation and – I say this with fingers crossed – we are hoping to stage ‘Ladies Day’ later in the year from Thursday to Saturday, November 19-21 which would have been the slot for our next production.” Mr Johnson added: “Tickets will be valid for the rescheduled date. However people who purchased them from the Chantry Tourist Information Centre and who are looking for a refund should contact the CTIC.”
