SUMMARY:Ben Hur
DESCRIPTION:by Patrick Barlow\n(based on the novel by General Lew Wallace)		\n			19 – 26 November 2022, 7.30pm		\n																														\n		Four actors take on the Roman Empire.Based on one of the timeless stories of one of the best-selling books of the nineteenth century, this stage adaptation condenses the epic tale so that it is told by just four actors.\n\nThe story follows an amateur theatre troupe as they produce the massive tale of the fictional Jewish prince and merchant Judah Ben-Hur. He falls to galley slave and rises to champion charioteer within Jerusalem during the life of Jesus Christ, while the actors struggle along through the piece as rivalries form and offstage romances interfere. Complete with chariot race, sea battle, and stage combat, Patrick Barlow weaves his compressed style popularized by The 39 Steps into one of the largest stories ever told.\nThey said it was unachievable! They said it couldn’t be done!\nand they were half right..\nBut now the greatest book ever penned is brought to the stage by a towering team of just four actors – turning the Millgate Arts Centre, Delph into one of the most authentic versions of Ancient Rome ever seen.\n\nComplete with…\n\nStunning combat (featuring the latest 3D technology)!\nA 103% bona fide chariot race (with REAL chariots)!\nAn authentic sea battle (with REAL water)!\nA decadent and unexpurgated Roman orgy (suitable for all ages)!\n\nBen Hur is a comedy based on the epic film,  set to stir your very soul. Brought to you by the writer of the Olivier nominated A Christmas Carol and Olivier and Tony Award- winning comedy The 39 Steps comedy\n\n \n\n																\n															\n							\n									\n							\n									\n							\n																		Three wise men								\n									\n							\n																		at the nativity								\n									\n							\n																		The angel Gabriel								\n									\n							\n									\n							\n									\n							\n																		Marsala & Ben Hur								\n									\n							\n																		the tile slips off the roof onto the Roman Governor								\n									\n							\n									\n							\n																		Ben Hur in chains								\n									\n							\n																		Jesus gives Ben Hur wate								\n									\n							\n																		Galley slave								\n									\n							\n									\n							\n																		Row you dogs								\n									\n							\n																		row row row								\n									\n							\n									\n							\n																		Ben Hur saves Quintus’ life								\n									\n							\n									\n							\n									\n							\n																		dancing								\n									\n							\n									\n							\n																		In Rome								\n									\n							\n									\n							\n									\n							\n									\n							\n									\n							\n									\n							\n									\n							\n									\n		our version of Ben Hur features a cast of four actors taking on the might of the Roman Empire		\n			The Daniel Vale Collective		\n																														\n		Featuring a cast of four\nMark Rosenthal\n John Comyn-Platt\nAndy Hoyle\n Kate Davies\nplus the Daniel Vale Collective ensemble cast\nJames McLean\nKellie Cross\nIan Lomas\nColin WattDirector : Verity Mann\nSet Design & Build : Sally McKee, David McKee\nStage manager Colin Watt\nLighting : David Plowright and Alayne Whitworth\nEpic Sound : Andrew Mann, Mark Acton, Alastair Scott		\n		Sponsored by Tanner Business Centre .  \nwww.tannerbusinesscentre.co.uk ( https://www.tannerbusinesscentre.co.uk/ )\n01457 872273\nCharity Night Sunday 20th November\nRaising funds for  St Chads Church  Uppermill, Love Lydgate & St Mary’s Church Greenfield\nMore INFO HERE  ( https://millgateartscentre.co.uk/events/ben-hur-263/ )\n watch the theatre trailer for the 1959 film Ben Hur….https://youtu.be/SCJfUi3V3r4Subscribe to Saddleworth Players & support the season for only £40.\n\n5 Saddleworth Players Shows (worth £50)\nRegular mailings \nInvite to Open Day / Season Preview giving opportunity to book early (though not exclusive access)\n		\n																\n
