The Cyril Malyon Memorial Fund Projects

The Cyril Malyon Memorial Fund (CMMF) was established in 2013 as a charitable, not for profit voluntary organisation, by Jennifer Chacksfield (nee Malyon) and Alec Malyon, in recognition of their father’s work at Markhouse Secondary School and the Markhouse Drama Club that he ran between 1955 – 1977.

‘Ex-Cite’

The ‘EX-Cite’ Project gave a group of 14 young people a week of drama, dance and singing workshops based at the Astor Theatre in Deal  – with the resulting performances scheduled for a number of locations in the town and then, on the last day, ‘on Stage’ in the atmospheric setting of the theatre itself.

The Thornage Hall Project – ‘Macbeth’

This CMMF Project saw a number of the residents of Thornage Hall, a Norfolk based Residential & Day Care Farm that works with people with special needs, being joined by a group of senior pupils from the nearby Aylsham High School, in staging a specially devised adaption of Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth’at the 2014 Autumn Fayre opening of their ‘new’ Barn Theatre.

‘Transition’

This project linked to Denis and June Heath through their son Philip, involved a group of young people from Eastbrook High School devising a play for presentation to several classes of primary school pupils who were due to begin their secondary education at this location later in the year.

‘A View from the Street’

This project enable a group of young people to produce a film about how they see their lives – evolving from their own ideas, experiences and wish to have their voices heard in the aftermath of the disturbances that took place in their town – and, in particular, the more recent and tragic death of one of their friendship group.
