Sarah Siddons Fan Club

Sarah Siddons Fan Club We are a street theatre group that has been promoting the wide range of history of the city of Southampton, England

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.

While all the big celebrations are happening on the other side of the pond that doesn’t mean we should forget about the stories and characters from Southampton’s past that have played an important part in the history of the United States of America!

Huge congratulations to the Southampton Tourist Guides Association for achieving their 50th anniversary!
It holds a special place in our hearts as it was through the STGA that the Fan Club was born back in 1989!

An association has celebrated 50 years of guiding tourists and residents through the city's history

Join us for a Royal Reckoning arriving in Southampton for AMERICA 250
In a twist worthy of the stage, King George III himself returns to Southampton—not to reclaim the colonies (he’s been advised against it), but to witness the grand unveiling of his statue at the historic Bargate. As His Majesty nears the end of his reign, he reflects—dramatically, and with no small amount of theatrical flair—on the great imperial heartbreak: the loss of America.
So join us for Make America George's Again! Happening on the 4th, 5th and 6th July starting from St Michael's Square, Bugle Street, Southampton
Tickets are available from www.wegottickets.com/sarahsiddonsfanclub
