Did you know?

Dollar Drama Club has performed this play before! It was in 1979, so we thought it was okay to do it again. One member of the previous cast appears in this production, but this time he's playing a different part; 45 years ago Stephen Lambert played Lord Arthur Savile.

Rehearsals

Rehearsals began on 1st July 2024.
