All Saints' Dramatic Society

All Saints' Dramatic Society Welcome to All Saints' Dramatic Society, Bournemouth's No.1 amateur theatre company. No really! Why not? Can you act, or do you think you can act? Great! Fantastic!

We are a friendly local theatre company that prides itself in achieving professional standards in our productions. With over 65 years’ experience of producing a wide range of genres, including our famous annual panto or musical, gripping thrillers, comedy and farce, we always strive to make our shows the best we possibly can. The joy and satisfaction of a show well-made and well-received is someth

ing we would like to share with you. Not only do we want you to come and experience the thrill of local theatre from the perspective of a seat in the audience, but we would love you to come and get involved as a member, working in a team producing our excellent shows. Why not join us and audition? It doesn’t matter how confident you feel; there are always parts to suit people at all stages on their acting journey. Can you sing? We need singers in some of our shows, where you can rattle your tonsils to a joyful tune! OK, so you may not think you can get on the stage and perform, but there is so much more that you can get involved in. Are you handy with a screwdriver and a saw? We always need stage builders. Do you think you could help with lighting and sound? We can train you. Do you have a creative/artistic streak in you? We always need people like you to create the best possible stage sets we can. Are you resourceful – someone who can get hold of all sorts of weird and wonderful items? We need such people in our props teams. ASDS is a great theatre company to be a part of. Producing good theatre is hugely rewarding and is made all the more satisfying doing it with a group of friends who are there to help and support you. Not only do we present the opportunity for you to exercise whatever gift you may have (or even abilities you don’t realise you have yet!), but it is a great place to meet people and make new friends, particularly through our amazing social programme that includes activities such as golf, going to the theatre (other than our own of course), charity fundraisers and, not forgetting, partying and socialising down the pub! So, have we convinced you to be part of this amazing team yet? Give us a go; get in touch with us via this page and we will get straight back to you.

So as we prepare for our final show of Two, we saved this little gem for you !

Ann is 'Woman'
She says "I was about 17 when I first got drunk..didn't like this experience one bit!! never been drunk since...
My favourite line from my role is..Drinky, Smart, a little Crumpled..
If I could take anyone to the pub, it would be Anton du Beke, as he might twirl me around if there was a dance floor in the pub!
My favourite tipple is a Bailey's with lots of ice.If I could make a cocktail it would have exactly that in it and I would call it The Olde Bailey...
Drink up everyone...Cheers to the lot of yer!!! "

Alan is Roy.
He says -"Firstly for my favourite tipple - Well I don't really have much of a preference when it comes to drinking as I'm a bit late to the whole alcohol thing. Didn't start till I turned 27-28ish. But if I had to choose a fav. Probably Coke and Jack Daniels Double. Got a nice honey taste that floats up on the tongue. And also it's the trendiest drink I know.
I have to admit I've never been outright drunk. I'm a bit hesitant about that because I don't want a migraine in the morning. Who does? But I have been close. Kitchen Porter days at the end of shifts come close to mind. I feel being on the influence loosens your lips I feel. Also I never really "discovered" it more like I was told about it. Liquid drinks were not appealing to me as a kid. I was more into libraries. Still am. And I don't remember what my first drink was, probably prosecco. Because partying...!
My favourite line that I say in the play is "There's more strange things happen in pub than there do on TV" which is interesting. You only have to go to a pub to experience the strange goings on. Like that one geezer sat in the corner silently texting this long question and answer!

If I could chose someone to take to the pub,present or past and not just people whom I know. Then I'm taking Terry Pratchet to the pub and taking a crack at how he came up with such fantastic stories in his massive line of disc world books. I find them enthralling with major issues like religion and political issues raised with humourous undertones. Inspiring people like me to embrace realism with fantasy in my acting work.

If I were to design my own cocktail, as I love my soda pop I would start off with a simple Schweppes followed by some cloudy apple juice (which is my favourite childhood drink.) Put some chopped up mint flakes and perhaps coconut chippings in there for extra flavour. And finally some whisky to spruce up the courage to one such as he who drinks this fabulous concoction. I call it my Apple Bounty Delusional Triple. For those who like to dream on the way home.

Gareth is Mr Igor.

Gareth's favourite tipple is Cranberry juice, Pineapple juice or tea
He was 14 when he first got drunk and his alcohol of choice at that time was MD 20/20 and Diamond White!
Gareth's favourite line from his character in the play is "Right then!".

If Gareth could take anyone to the pub it would be his kids or his best friend,that way he would know that he's having a genuinely good time.

If Gareth were to design a cocktail, it would consist of coconut, pineapple juice and tabasco sauce,and he would call it a 'Tropical Storm'.

Just over 27 hours until the opening show: TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE FOR ALL SHOWS.

The scripts are tucked away, the stage is set,
The final dress rehearsal's come and gone.
We've laughed through every line and cue we met,
And now the grandest moment’s drawing on.
​The curtains tremble, ready to arise,
The spotlight waits to catch each step and song.
With beating hearts and excitement in our eyes,
It's showtime for the cast where we belong!

Opening show night is this Friday 14th August.

Tickets still available for full show run, book yours now 🎟️🎟️🎟️🎟️🎟️🎟️

TWO by Jim Cartwright

A bickering husband and wife and the dozen regulars who pass through their pub in an evening. Each vignette skillfully combines pathos and humor. When a little boy is left behind by his father, a fragile reconciliation occurs as their own dark tragedy is revealed.

While the play is usually performed by two, many productions, such as ours, will feature a variety of talented members bringing the pub to life.

Georgie is Mrs.Igor and Lesley.

Georgie first discovered alcohol properly around the age of 14 where her and her friends drank a bottle of red and blue Thunderbirds at 'The log'! She's glad as a mother, that now that no longer exists!
She is partial to rum very occasionally but would rather avoid a three day headache now that she's (much) older.
If she could take anyone to the pub it would be Sir Anthony Hopkins or Rik Mayall.
Her favourite line in the play is "You're weediness is welcome here!"
If Georgie was asked to make a cocktail, in true punk fashion she would refuse because "cocktails are a rip off! "
