| 14th February 2010 | Audition for 'When the Reaper Calls' by Peter Colley | |||
|
On Sunday, in the Green Room at 2.30pm. A comedy
thriller to be
directed by Gordon Eyles. Victor and Harlan are two philosophy professors who have been friends, rivals and inveterate pranksters since their student days, but things have changed. Victor has turned into a wild hedonist in keeping with his belief that “when you’re dead, you’re dead”, while Harlan has become a dull stoic leading a strict unemotional existence in preparation for the afterlife. They are on holiday with their long-suffering wives in the Canadian wilderness, and Victor has devised a prank which he believes will prove the falseness of Harlan’s philosophy and shake him out of his passionless state – but the prank goes horribly wrong. After a heated argument a shot is fired, and one of the professors lies dead. This is far from the end however, it is just the beginning of a nightmare......or is it?

| 22nd - 27th February 2010 | 'Table Manners' by Alan Ayckbourn | |||

Please note, these are the revised dates as rehearsals were stalled due to the adverse weather conditions! Part of the delightful comic trilogy from one of England's most popular playwrights, The Norman Conquests revolves around a lascivious librarian with designs on three different women, all family members. Norman tells his wife he is going away on business but he really plans to take his sister-in-law on a memorable weekend tryst. Unexpected visitors foil their attempt to sneak away. Too much sexual tension, too much alcohol, and too little food make for a combustible mix. Tickets are £7.50, and the performance starts at 7.30pm each night. |

April 1939. An English couple, Peter and Suzy, are living in Provence in idyllic isolation, far, it seems, from the rumblings of the coming war. Their peace is shattered from within when Suzy discovers she has been betrayed: Peter is not the man he claims to be. Suzy's life is thrown into turmoil as the possibility arises that Peter may in fact be a ruthless Killer on the run. Then a Scotland Yard detective arrives and events become even more complicated and frightening.
