A well quoted sentence is "It's not a car it is a way of life." Wherever they park someone will say " I used to have one of these " or “my dad used to have one of these". The thing is whenever they get in their cars it makes them smile.
Riverside Players are proud to present their next show, The Sound of Music. This will be an outdoor extravaganza, set in the beautiful ruins of Eynsford Castle in Kent.
“The Sound of Music,” a beloved musical, is based on the true story of the Von Trapp Family Singers. Set in Austria during the eve of the Anschluss in 1938, it follows young postulant Maria Rainer. Maria, with her free spirit, struggles to conform to the rules of Nonnberg Abbey. Commissioned as the governess for seven motherless children, she transforms their home into a place of joy, laughter, and music. Amidst the horrors of World War II, Maria’s journey leads her to love, family, and hope.
Shakespeare’s “As You Like It” Unfolds amids the enchanting setting of the Forest of Arden, where exiled nobles seek refuge. Rosalind, disguised as a man, navigates love’s complexities with her beloved Orlando. Through witty banter and mistaken identities, the play explores themes of love, gender and the pursuit of happiness, culminating in a joyful celebration of nature and romance.
