to find
Benfield School Hall - travel along Old
Shoreham Road towards Portslade until
you get to the turn-off to the bypass
and find somewhere to park (No Parking
in the School at all! But there is a
large supermarket nearby). The school is
up the hill on the left hand side and
slightly set back from the road, but you
will see our banner. Busses 2, 6 and 46
take you there and it is a 5-minute walk
from Portslade train station.
The
show will be 2 hours long, including the
interval (refreshments and raffle). We
don't usually sell out but the matinees
get very full. We don't reserve seats
but there are benches at the front for
all children.

Drama for Fun is a
non-profit community Amateur Dramatics group in
Portslade near Brighton, East Sussex. Our plays so far
have been conceived and written by the group but we are
thinking of also producing plays written by other
playwrights. Drama for Fun used to be an adult education
class at Portslade Community College taught by Saskia
Wesnigk-Wood. Every year the students would say: "We want
to do a play!" So eventually it happened and this group
is the result. Lily and the Magic Book
was our first
production as an independent non-profit community group.
Here
is a list of the
plays we have written and performed so far:
Ocean Liner (Hilarity
on the High Seas; 7f, 4m),
In a Murderous Manor
(9-10 f, 3-4m)
Pantos and
shows for children:
Lily and the Magic Book (a
topsy-turvy pantomime; 9-10 f, 4-5m, 2 children);
Lily's Magical Quest, another adventure with
our favourite heroine (9-11 f, 4-5 m (some
doubling) 7 children in one or two scenes only)
Jim's Underwater Adventure - a fishy tale (3 m, 7 f, children)
George and
the Dragon (a 10-minute narrated play, 4m, 5-10 f,
children).

all ages, 13 actors, 3-4m, 9-10 f, children)

children under 16 joining the group, though they may
appear on stage in small roles if they are the children
of group members. There is a
£20 membership fee and
a £5 monthly subscription. We have regular
meetings, a constitution and a membership agreement form
which you would need to sign.
