KESWICK Theatre by the Lake has gone down the tried and trusted route with several of the actors who will be appearing in their upcoming summer season of plays at the lakeside.

The new company of actors has already begun rehearsing for Arsenic and Old Lace, the play which launches the Main House programme in May.

There is no respite for Peter Rylands, who has just completed a run in The Recruiting Officer and Our Country’s Good, the double bill spring production at the theatre.

Another recent face to be spotted among the company is actor James Wooldridge, who appeared in the production of The Borrowers last Christmas.

Regular visitors to the theatre will also recognise Stephen Ley, Patrick Bridgman, Pamela Buchner, Sara Coward, Krissi Bohn and Dinah Handley. For Amy Humphreys, David Ericsson, Andrew Pollard and Matthew Vaughan it will be their first Summer Season at the theatre.

This summer’s Studio shows will be staged in a newly extended performance space. Booking details on 017687 74411.
