Animal Farm - George Orwell - Lewes Drama Collective - Adults Group 2026

By performing a variety of personas from different genres and script types as well as practising different roles and situations, our goal is to help individuals with all abilities and from all walks of life to build confidence, work on classics, as well as unique and traditional plays.

This group is ideal for anyone aged 18+ with, or without previous theatre or drama experience. Through games, scene creation and by exploring mindfulness we delve into the world of the performing arts where all are welcome to nourish their creativity and foster imagination while developing vocal skills, breathing techniques, as well as insights on movement and interpretation.

Where and when?

Our enthusiastic and friendly grown-up group of talented individuals meet on Wednesdays between 8pm and 9:30pm in the function room (upstairs) at the Cliffe Hall in Lewes.

Please note that our regular group meets during school term-time (see term dates below).

As such, we keep our rates exceptionally competitive so that more people may have a chance to access theatre and drama.

Each term costs £85 per member.
