The Mill has pledged to do a gala performance concert every St George’s Day for The George Hatfield Theatrical Arts Foundation. Last year we were able to help eight Arts students with a bursary to fund their training. This year four wonderful actors, who are all currently performing in the West End, have offered their services to mount a special Night at The Musicals. The cast includes Adam Linstead (Phantom of The Opera) and Soophia Foroughi (Prince Of Egypt) with more to be announced later on. Their voices are truly sublime and they are accompanied by a three piece band as they work their way through a repertoire of much loved songs from the Musicals we all know and love.  

POSTING LETTERS TO THE MOON

A romantic, funny and very touching portrait of life during the second World War featuring readings of letters between Oscar-nominated actress Celia Johnson (Brief Encounter) and her explorer and writer husband Peter Fleming (brother of James Bond creator Ian Fleming) posted to India and the Far East during the war working for Military Intelligence.

Not only are the letters highly engaging, but they also provide a fascinating historical insight into that time of true austerity and fearfulness.

‘... simply spellbinding performance...revealing an abundance of love and affection between ordinary people caught in extraordinary times... a theatrical gem’.  British Theatre Guide.

The letters are read by their daughter Lucy Fleming (Love Sarah, Miranda in The Archers) and her husband Simon Williams (Upstairs Downstairs Justin in The Archers, EastEnders,) and give an insight into a young mother’s life coping during the war and tell of Celia Johnson’s experience of filming with Noel Coward, David Lean and her thoughts while making the classic film Brief Encounter in 1945.
