We are a street theatre group that has been promoting the wide range of history of the city of Southampton since 1986. The Sarah Siddons Fan Club is a promenade theatre performance company who make site-specific work based on the history of the site. Primarily we work in the Southampton region where we have been writing and performing our own idiosyncratic form of theatre since 1986. We take our n

ame from the 18th century tragic actress, Sarah Siddons, famous for her 'attitudes' and a frequent visitor to Southampton. The Fan Club's main productions are based on historical incidents and people who lived in the town of Southampton, but over the years we have created plays in Gaydon, Hamble-le-Rice, Netley, Romsey, Stoneham, among others.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Conquest - Promo

📯📯Announcing our next production: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Conquest - telling the story of almost 1000 years of history of St Michael's Church in Southampton Tickets: www.wegottickets.com/sarahsiddonsfanclub #localhistory #southampton #normans

We are proud to present the trailer for our new film. As part of our two year project with The United Voices of African Associations - TUVAA This will premier at Hangar Farm Arts Centre, Totton. The Chameleon and the Fly tells the tale of the emissaries sent from King Lobengula, king of the Northern Ndebele people of Matabeleland in what is now Zimbabwe. Threatened by the expansion of the African mining interests of Cecil Rhodes and his compatriots, King Lobengula reached out to Queen Victoria in the hope that she might intervene on behalf of the Ndebele people. In 1889 the ship The Moor landed in Southampton with the king’s representatives, Mshete and Babayane on board. As well as our premiere we will also be using the opportunity to show two other films we have created on the big screen - The Sad Tale of Richard Parker and 6 Characters in Search of a History. 3 Local History films for just £5.
