Sally Knyvette directing at the Tricycle and Horizon Group outing
SALLY KNYVETTE
The Tricycle Theatre presents a company of professional barristers, solicitors
and judges in 'To Kill a Mockingbird', adapted by Christopher Sergel from the
novel by Harper Lee and directed by Sally Knyvette. Performances 07 to 10 May
2008.
Harper Lee's Pulitzer-prize winning novel was made into a major motion picture
starring Gregory Peck (for which he won an Academy Award) in 1962. It is a
story of racial prejudice, injustice and humanity and is now presented as a
powerful piece of theatre.
In 1930's America in a small town in the Deep South, lawyer Atticus Finch
defends Tom Robinson, a man accused of rape. Atticus shows himself a man of
integrity and risks his own and his family's safety to do the right thing in the
face of racism. His children, especially daughter Scout, make a journey of
discovery about their father, their neighbours and the community they live in.
This is the fourth of the Tricycle's much-acclaimed productions cast entirely
from the legal profession. All proceeds from these performances will go towards
the Tricycle new writing and education programmes (apart from Thursday evening
when the money is split between the Tricycle and the Corinne Burton Memorial
Trust.)
Wednesday 7th, Friday 9th and Saturday 10th at 8pm - all tickets £60 (£10 plus
suggested donation of £50);
Saturday 10th May at 4pm - all tickets £25
Thursday 8th at 8pm - all tickets £75 (£10 plus suggested donation of £65)
Thursday 8th at 2pm - all tickets £10 (£4 plus suggested donation of £6)/£2.50

HORIZON GROUP OUTING TO THE TRICYCLE - Saturday 10th May 2008
In the past Horizon was known for encouraging fans to meet up for theatre
outings and signing events featuring members of the Blake's 7 cast or crew, and
for organizing fan-events such as video/DVD watching sessions, location visits
or just meeting up for a drink and/or meal to get to know other fans. Since
setting up the new website we've had many requests to organize more and we hope
this will be the first of a series of fan get-togethers to celebrate the show's
30th anniversary.
We've reserved some tickets for the Saturday matinee performance of 'To Kill a
Mockingbird' (tickets £25) so if you'd like to join us, please let us know as
soon as possible either by PM to Horizon, or to the horizonb7 email address.
The intention is to see the show, hopefully to have a little time to say hello
to Sally (this isn't guaranteed, remember she's directing two shows on the
Saturday, so she may be too busy for a chat) and then to all go off to a local
restaurant for dinner and to socialize and to meet up with members from
Horizon's past along with many new members. If there are people who can't make
the show but would like to meet up afterwards to eat and drink the rest of the
evening/night away, that's fine too - please just get in touch and we'll tell
you more.
If you have fond memories of past Horizon theatre outings, please do share your
memories with the new fans and encourage them to meet up.
