Norman The Conqueror
28th to 31st October 2026

SAVE THE DATE!

Are you ready to bring history to life with laughter, heart, and unforgettable storytelling?
 Fordingbridge Players are thrilled to announce our most ambitious production yet:
 Norman the Conqueror, coming October 2026 at the Forres Sandle Manor Theatre .
What’s it all about?
Step into the shoes of 91‑year‑old Norman in 2020, as he looks back on his life in wartime Southampton during 1940—through moments both dramatic, tender, humorous and moving. This richly layered play is rooted in real events, and has a special connection to Fordingbridge through Norman’s marriage to a local girl, giving it truly personal resonance.
 Why this is special:
  • It’s our most expensive production to date, with a large cast and complex set
  • Time‑change scenes shifting effortlessly between 1941 and 2020
  • Live music and song woven through the narrative to heighten emotion and engagement
 Auditions now underway
