Altrincham Little Theatre

Situated close to the town centre, Altrincham Little Theatre, formerly The Club Theatre, is one of the oldest amateur dramatics societies in the country and was established in 1896.  As you can see, the theatre is in an old Chapel (looks more like a chapel than a church).  Unfortunately photo number 3 (clockwise from top left) shows that the actual name of the chapel has been erased - I think this is a great shame but perhaps it was a decision based upon the change of use?  It still has the original stained glass windows though which is a blessing.  Photo number 4 shows its next production which I would like to see if I can get anyone to come with me.  My "better half" hates plays and has usually fallen asleep whenever we've been to one so that won't work :).  


Kindertransport tells the story of 9-year old Jewish Eva, who at the start of WW2,  is sent from Germany to safety in Manchester as part of the Kindertransport scheme. When her parents fail to escape from Germany her attachment to her foster mother Lil increases and a new identity starts to form. Not long after the war has finished, she changes her name to Evelyn and acquires a British passport. Over thirty years later, her own grown-up daughter, Faith, discovers some old letters in the attic and Evelyn is confronted with her hidden past. There are some secrets that she has kept ….. even from Lil. Sounds good...
