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.
