People flocked from far and wide to witness how Samson Fox, the Mayor of Harrogate, had ‘bottled the sun’

The idea for the play began with chance encounters. Two sisters, Clair and Ann Challenor-Chadwick, run the ethical Harrogate creative agency, Cause UK. The pair promoted the Harewood Proms headlined by Alfie Boe in September 2021, and had gone along to help out backstage. The sisters had met with local historian Malcolm Neesam and commissioned him to write Samson’s life story. The next step was to hire author Gavin Collinson, who the pair had worked with on previous creative projects.
She approached the North of Watford acting agency, who cast the play. Samson will be played by Joe Standerline, who has appeared in TV shows such as Victoria , The Full Monty and Safe , and directed by Sian Murray. At just 33, Freddie has made his name in Channel 4 series Cucumber, as Jeremy Bamber in the crime drama White House Farm, and as Mark Thatcher in Netflix’s The Crown. He’s next in the second series of the Emmy-nominated satirical comedy, The Great. The play however is special, as theatre is his love.
