OUR MAY PRODUCTION

Book now for our next production.

PARTY PIECE, our second play of the season, provides us with the opportunity to cast seven of our actors in this hilarious play from the writer of two of our most popular earlier productions (‘Outside Edge’ and ‘Stepping Out)’ along with dozens of well known TV dramas.  

What’s it about?

This is a fast-paced and very funny play set in the back gardens of feuding neighbours, the Smethursts and the Hinsons. 

It is the night of the Smethurst’s fancy dress house-warming party. Uptight Michael and his wife Roma are diligently making preparations for a lively evening despite concerns over their neighbour, the elderly Mrs. Hinson. At the other side of the fence, the artful and acerbic Mrs. Hinson is visited by her son and daughter-in-law adding to the tension. And when the party is ready to go we await the guests with the sense that events may not go smoothly….

Two gardens, two families, some guests, a BBQ and a Zimmer frame all feature in this manic comedy. Book now.

The Cast

With Rob Newton as Michael and Sally Morland as Roma, Barbara Failey as Mrs. Hinson, Gary Vann as son David and Nic Johnson as Jennifer the daughter-in-law, Wendy Salter as Sandy and introducing Lee Kelly as Toby.

Produced and Directed by Steve Howland.


Party Piece Progressing

Comedy – at least making it – is serious stuff! The cast are gathered here for a reading and voice recording of the script and there’s a lot of studious expressions – perhaps we are realising just how busy this play will be…

Rehearsals have officially commenced and teams are starting work on the sourcing of props and costume and the planning of the stage set construction. Yep, it’s all go again!

More details will follow.

Coming soon..
