the pit village this weekend.
Legendary actor Sir Ian McKellen officially opened Ensemble ‘84’s new home The Playhouse
ahead of staging Shakespeare’s Hamlet to five star reviews.
Now, “Pits, People and Players”, returns to The Playhouse this Thursday-Saturday 11-13 June following a hit run during Horden’s 125th anniversary celebrations last year.
Mark Dornford-May, Director of Ensemble ’84, said: “This show is about the heart of Horden. Every scene, every memory and every moment has its roots in conversations with local people. We’ve taken the stories, scars and dreams shared with us and created something that is rooted in this community and speaks
to something much bigger.”
He added: “At a time when places like Horden are too often defined by what they’ve lost, this production celebrates the people, pride and resilience that continue to shape its future.”
