MARCELLA’S MINUTE TO MIDNIGHT | Tideswell Theatre

MARCELLA’S MINUTE TO MIDNIGHT

What happens when you spend a lifetime looking after everyone else and finally ask, “What about me?”

Marcella’s Minute to Midnight is a warm, witty and moving one-woman play about rediscovering yourself revisiting old dreams and realising it’s never too late for a fresh start.

It’s a heartfelt story about decluttering, full of humour, honesty and the possibilities of second chances.

It’s a show that will resonate with many and is not to be missed!

Written and performed by Mary Lincoln.

Brought to Tideswell by Tideswell Theatre, via Live and Local, the Arts Council and local authority supported rural touring scheme fr the region.

There is an interval and pre-show bar for ticketholders.

7:30pm Thursday 12th November at Tideswell Community Hall, Church Lane, Tideswell, SK17 8PD. Tickets £16 (£15 concessions): www.ticketsource.com/tideswelltheatre reservations: info@tideswelltheatre.org.uk or 07973963525.

The season so far
Birdcatcher by Pentabus Theatre Company was a one actor tour-de-force, in a powerful yet funny play. One and a half hours with no interval which had the audience gripped throughout, and much praise afterwards for the young female actor (Lucy Mangan) who carried off the part amazingly.
The Tideswell Tales – next up, but no tickets available.

Coming up in 2027!  Put the dates on your calendar!
All tickets available now on TicketSource.

Saturday 13th February: Folk Fusion: songs, tunes and tales from a band called 54 North. Something guaranteed to banish the winter gloom!

Help us spread the word about shows in Tideswell

Since the sad demise of The Peak Advertiser we’ve lost one of our main chances of getting information about our visiting shows right across the Peak District. Not everyone gets their information via the internet or social media!

In a time when visiting shows are costing more and more it is crucial that we get good audiences to stand a chance to break even.
