Coming Up at The Questors Theatre in August
Live performance, musical theatre workshops and a chance to have your play produced
The God of Carnage is to be performed at The Questors
The latest production at The Questors is The God of Carnage. Winner of the 2009 Tony Award for Best Play and written by internationally renowned playwright Yasmina Reza (Art), this comedy comes to Ealing for a just 4 performances between 12 – 14 August in the Judi Dench Playhouse.
When the well-to-do parents of two children meet to discuss a violent playground incident, they agree to talk civilly about the matter. But as the drinks pour, polite discussion gradually degenerates into havoc. In a desperate attempt to defend their children, tribalism takes full force, spiralling to a crescendo of chaos.
On Saturday 7 August an adult musical theatre workshop is being held for which there are still places left to join with professional Director and Vocal Coach team: Dominique & Nikki Gerrard.
This workshop will give you practical experience of learning, staging and performing a group number from a musical theatre show with expert guidance. The show that will be worked on is the Olivier award-winning musical... Come From Away!
The course runs from 11am to 4pm and costs £45 for members and £75 for non-members.
If you want to take the art of acting seriously, but don’t take yourself too seriously, then The Questors intensely practical part-time Foundation Course may be for you. Each week you’ll take specialised classes in Acting, Body Energy in Performance, Voice and Speech.
The hands-on course is aimed at those who want to make a commitment to becoming an actor – either to pursue a professional career, or to develop your skills in stage performance.
Everyone who applies will get the chance to audition at the theatre. The course is taking applicants until 11 September, a day before auditions close.

The Questors Festival of New Theatre is taking place next year and a call out is being made for the submission of plays.
Next summer (2022) The Questors Theatre will be opening its doors and welcoming new voices and plays to the stage, as part of its inaugural festival of new theatre. The festival will provide a platform for new writers to share new work, collaborate with other creatives and become part of a thriving theatre community.
It is currently looking for one act plays (approx. 60-70 min in length) to showcase at the festival, with a particular interest in pieces that feature a strong gender, age and diversity balance. The Questors says it has a limited number of slots at the festival so for your best chance of inclusion submit your script as soon as possible. The deadline to submit is 17 December 2021.
You can also still listen for free to The Spot of Joy by Hilary Spiers an audio play inspired by Robert Browning's poem My Last Duchess.
