Step out of the cold and into a summer in Maine this week with the Dolmans latest production of On Golden Pond. The beautifully simple story follows ageing couple Norman and Ethel Thayer as they return to their holiday home for a summer in which time they get the opportunity to reconnect with their estranged daughter and her new family.

Steve Saunders plays forgetful Norman brilliantly, showing both sarcastic old man and a softer side, scared of losing who he is, with Pamela Elliott creating a wonderful picture of his supportive wife in this melancholy tale. The whole cast brought wonderful energy to the story from laugh out loud Charlie the mail man (Alex Wilson) to young and energetic Billy Ray Jr. (Connor Corbett). A wonderful production that will take you away from the winter, if just for a night.
