A Love Letter to Thornbury: An evening with Amanda Prowse
For one night only! Bestselling author Amanda Prowse returns to the place she's always called home. Having sold millions of books worldwide, Amanda will share why, when it came to choosing where she truly belonged, there was only one answer: Thornbury. Back in the 1980s, a teenager Amanda moved with her family to Castle Street and attended Castle School. At the time, she couldn't wait to leave the quiet market town behind, dreaming instead of the bright lights of London - faster than you could book a one-way ticket from Parkway! Now, in this heartfelt and entertaining one-woman show, Amanda reflects on her journey with honesty, warmth and humour. Through stories of Thornbury past and present, she invites us to see the town through her eyes - and perhaps rediscover why it might just be the best place in the world to call home. 2 acts, 40 minutes each, 20 min interval. Doors 7pm for a 7.30pm start.
