  Electric Theatre Information
Our summer show is an open air production at Farnham Castle, where the dry moat provides
a perfect outdoor amphitheatre for theatre 'al fresco'. This production is a costumed, large cast
play, frequently of a classical nature. It attracts capacity audiences who picnic on the moat banks
and enjoy the special ambience of summer outdoor theatre. Want to get involved? Click here for details.

HISTORY
The company name is an amalgam of Guildford , the area in which it toured
its productions, and Albury , the Surrey village in which the society originated in 1963. For the
first four years the company mainly produced musicals, touring them around local villages and
small towns using an old double decker bus for transport that became a local celebrity in its
own right, attracting much attention wherever it went.
