LAST Thursday I was fortunate enough to have been at Marlborough Town Hall to enjoy the production of The Dreamer, a play recently performed at the Watermill Theatre in Newbury.
The play was brought to Marlborough by the Watermill Theatre and the Kennet Valley Arts Trust, an organisation committed to providing Marlborough with a theatre/cinema of its own.
The play was extremely well written and directed by Ade Morris and the performances by Christopher Tajah, Mae-Louise Robinson and Glyn Dilley were superb, some of the finest acting I have ever seen.
Christopher Tajah's portrayal of Dr Martin Luther King was, at times, breathtaking.
If this is the standard of production we are likely to see at the new Riverside Theatre in Marlborough then it fully justifies the KVAT's campaign and the sooner it is built the better.
Maybe then all those who do not have the finances or the means to travel 20 or 30 miles to the nearest theatre can have the opportunity to enjoy first-rate entertainment like this.
