By Phil Woods with Michael Bogdanov

GASP with horror as the Fox snatches Chanticleer, the Cockerel;
THRILL to the hunt for ‘what women most desire’;
SING-A-LONG with the chorus of Peterkin’s fall from grace;
DELIGHT AS May outwits her ancient husband and most of all
ROLICK WITH LAUGHTER at this ‘colourful, boozy, good-spirited, compelling entertainment.’

In modern English this is a great way to revisit or get to know a classic of English Literature. It is a bit naughty so we are not recommending it to under 12s! Think medieval saucy seaside postcard!

We hit some technical problems – of which the snow was but one – with our plans to put on a Farndale (panic not – we will do it eventually!).  However we came up with the whizzo idea of a Music Hall and Variety Evening with supper.  Please come along and join the fun – but book your ticket in advance please. Included in the programme are the Pantaloons; the Manacles Singers; a short comic Melodrama; several sketches and songs – it’s shaping up to be a great evening for us all but

CHIEFLY YOURSELVES!!

Why are we Fund Raising?

We are raising money to buy our own set of ‘RAISERS’ – the staging that raises the audience up so that you have had such a good view!  We have been hiring from another drama group and as they have now put their prices up we have decided that it is time to buy our own set which will be of benefit to everyone who uses the hall. Some members of the Gweek Players have kindly agreed to advance the Players £2,400 interest free so that we can buy a set now but they need paying back as soon as possible!

A psychological thriller

by Richard Harris

A comedy by Olwen Wymark

Directed by Vanda Trotman

Cast:

Reg has invited his pompous boss to dinner; his wife, Geraldine, feels that their marriage is getting dull and is ripe for mischief.  Their daughter, Billie, wants to marry the boss’s son.

No-one is prepared for Geraldine’s decision to liven things up by impersonating Reg’s imaginary brother Rollo.  Reg retaliates by dressing up as Rollo’s eccentric wife Lilian.  When domineering Granny returns unexpectedly the scene is set for a great deal of comic misunderstanding.

This comedy is a rebel’s fantasy; a hostess’s nightmare and an hilarious treat for the audience.
