That is the title of our next production. And when we tell you it’s a good old return to door slamming farce then you might already suspect that things might not be as perfect as the title suggests….
Robin Hawdon’s comedy is about a couple preparing for their wedding at a country hotel. Naturally things don’t run smoothly for the unfortunate groom after a drunken stag night and he has to persuade his best man and the hotel staff to reluctantly attempt to resolve his issues. Infidelity, confusion, mistaken identities, girlfriends, chambermaids and the bride’s mother, are all in the mix to make this a hilarious farce not to be missed.
Rehearsals are now under way with Richard Bateman in the Director’s chair and the cast are in The Forum coping with a manic paced script and opening and closing imaginary doors.
The cast: on the sofa Nic Johnson and Gill Collins, behind the sofa Janet Drewery and Barbara Failey with Rob Newton and Steve Howlandon the arms.
Our Producer: Richard Bateman

Don’t forget we are busily taking bookings for our next production: John Godber’s Lucky Sods – so have you reserved yours?
As it’s the first play of the season we also offer season ticket holder deals though the best seats may already be taken by those who get in early, but you won’t know if you don’t ask.
Becoming a SEASON TICKET holder reserves your chosen seats by paying for both plays in advance
The advantages are;
Reserves your preferred seat location for both productions on your preferred evening (subject to availability)
£20 paid in advance gives you one ticket for each play (Lucky Sods in November and Perfect Wedding next May)
Saves the hassle of finding the right money on the night (we only take cash at the door)
Whether you wish to become a 2023/4 season ticket holder or you simply want to book seats for Lucky Sods then simply get in touch – details of how to contact us are shown here on our Book Your Tickets page.
Rehearsals are well under way as we head towards our performance dates in mid November of John Godber’s wonderful comedy Lucky Sods.
First performed by the Petuaria Players in 2005 it remained in our memories as one of our favourites. So, with a suitably long gap inbetween, we have decided to run it – and enjoy it – once again, even if those actors in the original who are resurrecting their performances have added a few years on, their youthful looks remain. (Well I had to say that didn’t I 😉). (Hmm, although I didn’t need to add that. )
