Exciting times. Fun times. Scary times. Yes our first night is just over a week away and things are getting busy.  What’s been happening in recent weeks?

Tony Barker (an ex-member by the way) came along from Billboard TV / Estuary TV to interview our Director and record some short clips from play rehearsals.  If you want to watch this CLICK HERE TO OPEN VIDEO IN YOUTUBE .

Or visit the Billboard Page here.

Then we had our banner and posters vandalised on Christmas Eve in a spirit of not-so-good will.  That meant recreating and installing another – at a cost.  We tried to put a brave and amusing face on the exercise by posting our new heavy protection 24hr ‘security team’ on our Facebook page.

Since then it’s been a case of dealing with bouts of flu, getting down to detailed rehearsal fine-tuning, preparing the programme artwork, creating the sound effects and cues programming, and planning the setbuilding.

Talking of set building and preparing the Village Hall that will take place this Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning and if you feel the urge to come along and help in whatever capacity please feel free to do so,

But the most important thing is to make sure you come along to see our efforts and the performances on 25th, 26th, 27th January.

About RolePlay

Our middle play returns to the master himself, Alan Ayckbourn, with a quite different comedy.  Originally part of the trilogy ‘Damsels in Distress’ this very funny play stands on its own.

Justin and Julie-Ann, hopelessly mismatched in love, are about to introduce their respective parents to each other over dinner – Justin’s upper-crust alcoholic mother and Julie-Ann’s bigoted father and prim mother. Into this doomed scenario drops, quite literally, via the balcony upstairs, Paige Petite, a former lap dancer and her thick gun-toting minder employed by her gangster boyfriend leading to a hilarious clash of cultures and families.

Directed by Jayne Hewson

Cast includes:  Tom Fryer, Wendy Fairburn, Nic Johnson, Steve Howland, Dianne Turner, Gill Collins and introducing  Gary Vann.
