Richmond Community - Richmond Amateur Dramatic Society

Promoting live theatre in Richmond.

The Society is privileged to perform in the Georgian Theatre Royal for three major productions a year, and is committed to providing entertainment of the highest possible standard.

We own our own property at 6-8 Castle Hill, and this building provides the perfect rehearsal space, as well as storage rooms for our sets, properties and costumes. It is also ideal for workshops, after-show suppers and our regular fun social evenings.

The main thrust of the Society and its members is to put on plays! We try to vary our programme as much as possible, to encompass all strands of drama. We are always willing to try ambitious projects.

Our members turn out in all weathers to rehearse, build sets, make costumes - and coffee - and props, so that when a production goes to the Theatre, it is as polished as we can make it.

We welcome new talent - no experience is necessary, and support and opportunities to develop will be given. On the second Monday of each month we hold a ‘social evening’. These vary in content from month to month, but are usually fun and give members the chance to chat and ‘catch up’ - not always possible during rehearsals!

RADS is a registered charity, and each year makes donations to charities proposed by the membership.

The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 ¾

Venue: Georgian Theatre Royal

The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 ¾
by Sue Townsend

Time: 7.30pm
Tickets £5 - £12

Sue Townsend is the creator of Britain's best loved and best-selling diarist, Adrian Mole. RADS provides an unabashed, pimples-and-all glimpse into the troubled life of the adolescent Adrian Mole. Adapted by Sue Townsend, this funny and compelling play covers the first of the Adrian Mole diaries in which the adolescent and undiscovered poet and intellectual tries to deal with his parents' crumbling marriage, his spots, his school, his unrequited love for Pandora and the erratic behaviour of his dog. All this whilst trying to get his poetry accepted by the BBC.
