Forget the Oscars and the BAFTAs...

Mike Bonsier, the Chair of the Theatre Workshop Coulsdon Trustees Committee and supporter of the group since its creation in 1970 has been honoured in this year’s New Year’s Honours List.

For his services to education, Mike has been awarded the MBE.

In addition to making sure that TWC don’t stray away from their guiding principles and constitution (as well as helping present our annual awards ) Mike is Chairman of the board of governors at nearby Coulsdon Sixth Form  College, a post he’s held since 1982.

Mike has worked tirelessly in public service interests for over 40 years and is presently President of the Old Purleians Association, and Chair of Ben's Educational Trust too.

Back in 1976 he even managed to squeeze in the time to appear on stage with us!

All of us here at Theatre Workshop Coulsdon are immensely pleased that Mike’s work has been recognised in this way and look forward to continuing our long friendship. And if he wants to get back on stage, there’s always room!

TWC's Spring 2012 production is:

The Changeling
by Thomas Middleton and William Rowley

‘Is this the greatest play Shakespeare never wrote..?’

Middleton was the greatest Elizabethan playwright after Shakespeare, and The Changeling is one of the darkest, funniest, yet most gripping thrillers in English Theatre.

For six performances only at

Coulsdon Community Centre, Chipstead Valley Rd, Coulsdon, Surrey CR5 3BE

See our Current Production page for full details of this production.
