THE CARD
Arnold Bennett's much love classic comic tale, adapted by Deborah McAndrew and directed by Conrad Nelson.
The Card follows the adventures of the loveable rogue Denry Machin, as he makes his way up from humble beginnings to become the most celebrated 'card' in The Five Towns.
In this comical novel, the character of Denry Machin is identified with ‘the great cause of cheering us all up’ – and this was the inspiration for our new production, featuring a professional cast of 7 actor/musicians, supported by our wonderful Claybody Community Company and championship brass band Acceler8.
Our sell-out summer show of 2022 - was remounted in May 2023 at the New Vic Theatre.
