VIRTUAL THEATRE SEASON
Online theatre straight to your home

As a response to live theatre, in the traditional sense, being closed for the autumn of 2020, we are now producing a season of online theatre. As with our previous "virtual theatre", these shows will be available online through a link provided to ticket-buyers.

Viewers will be able to access the stream live, or watch for the subsequent two days (to allow for global time zone differences), via a hidden link manually provided via our company email southdevonplayers@gmail.com, to ticket purchasers, beginning the week before broadcast, and the link will be hosted on www.southdevonplayers.com. To watch the show, you will need to follow the link provided in the email by clicking on it.
Please note that because the link has to be manually emailed to you by our staff, it will be sent within normal UK working office hours, within 24 hours of when we recieve notification of your ticket purchase on Ticketsource.

You can watch the show as many times as you like, from the link you will be given, over the time it is available.

Tickets must be purchased before the date & time of the streaming event.

All show times shown on posters, are for the UK timezone.

Alvina Houghton, the headstrong daughter of a widowed Midlands draper, comes of age just as her father’s business is failing. In a desperate attempt to regain his fortune and secure his daughter’s proper place in society, James Houghton buys a theatre. Among the travelling performers he employs is Ciccio, a sensual Italian who immediately captures Alvina’s attention. A celebration of freedom, however fleeting, and a testament to the power of the imagination to transform even the most mundane life.
The script has been vetted by international D.H. Lawrence scholar, Catherine Brown. Jessica Levinson Young, Artistic Director of Untold Theatre, writes, “I absolutely loved this script for The Lost Girl. It has incredible pace and the dialogue simply leaps off the page!" Another of Germaine Shames' D.H. Lawrence adaptations, THE VIRGIN and the GYPSY, received a reading at the 2018 Festival of New American Theatre.
