Hats and hilarity, ‘Ladies day’ gallops to Estepona

Published

on

International Theatre Studio (ITS) is bringing the laughs, comedy and drama to El Paraiso Hotel for three nights in May with their lively production of ‘Ladies Day’. 

Written by Amanda Whittington, Ladies Day follows four unlikely ladies from Hull. Pearl, Jan, Shelley and Linda, whose days are dominated by the relentless routine of work, love and life. The play revolves around their friendship as they try to find a little joy in the middle of the slog. When the elite horse racing event Royal Ascot is relocated to York, the women seize the chance for a change of scene and head off on Ladies Day for a flirt, a flutter and some fun, with a bottle of bubbly in tow. If their luck holds, they might even hit the jackpot and more. 

ITS brings live theatre in a mix of genres to their audiences

The final cast list bringing this production to life are Margaret Dunkley, Hannah Murray, Eileen Audas, Beverley Stonehewer, Bernard Murray, David Grainge, Laurie Passman, PJ Lopez and David Dunkley. The show is directed by Sheila Mellor and produced by Andrea Stevens. 

The International Theatre Studio is the longest established English-speaking amateur dramatic group on the coast. ITS is a non-profit organisation, originally formed in 1975, and is based across the Estepona, San Pedro Alcantara and Marbella area. Their goal is to bring live theatre to the English-speaking community on the coast, giving theatre lovers a mix of genres and styles, comedy and drama to lighter entertainment.

The group hosts other various events throughout the year and are always keen for new talent to join

100 members and an experienced pool of producers, directors, actors and backstage crew all collaborated at ITS, they typically stage two major productions a year, usually in the autumn and spring. During the year, the group also organises readings, dinner theatre and murder mystery evenings, and is always looking for new talent to audition and take part.

British Couple’s Juice Empire In Spain Steals Spotlight On UK Television

Cameras rolled through the doors of Andajuicya juice bar in Alhaurin el Grande on Friday, April 17, as part of a popular UK television programme that follows British people who have moved to Spain.

Producers chose the location to interview Andi and Stacey about the rapid growth of their cold-pressed juice enterprise and them making success of moving to a whole new life in southern Spain.

Nationwide deliveries bring healthy options to hotels and workplaces

Andajuicya now distributes fresh juices right across Spain. Hotels and companies order regular supplies so staff members enjoy tasty, nutrient-rich drinks that support daily fitness and wellbeing. Customers appreciate the absence of additives and the focus on pure ingredients pressed daily. Employers love the idea that this little extra they give to their staff will go a long way to keeping them healthy, and, of course, in shape for work.

Cafe draws visitors from every corner of Andalusia

People travel from far and wide to experience the cafe at Andajuicya in the Malaga Province town of Alhaurin el Grande. Expat families and local Spanish residents drop in for revitalising juices combined with nourishing meals. Stacey explains their approach clearly. “When we were first starting, everyone was advising we do English breakfasts and bangers and mash. But, Andi and I don’t eat those things. We do things like sausage meat muffins and sausage and bacon pancakes, but we use the best locally-sourced ingredients, and it’s all homemade,” she says. Flavours remain familiar yet every dish receives careful preparation with only the best produce and ending with a fresh juice chaser.

Expansion into franchises and retreats

Andajuicya is now branching out and developing franchise opportunities as well as launching wellness retreats inside the Guadalhorce Valley. This area has gained fame over centuries for rich soil that yields abundant fresh produce ideal for juice recipes. Early interest from British television channels confirms the couple’s achievements as they launch what promises to become the major success story that Spain has been waiting for.
