Our Next Production

Lloyd George Knew My Father

Written by: William Douglas Home

 

Directed by: Alistair Faulkner
Assisted by: Jackie Pilkington

 

Dates: 5th – 9th Oct 2010

 

As General Sir William Boothroyd is keen to point out to anyone who will listen to his ramblings ' Boothroyd Hall has been in the Boothroyd family since the English Civil War - don't you know'. But when a bypass threatens to cut through the grounds of the stately home, it is Lady Boothroyd who decides that dramatic action must be taken to scupper the plans and make the Ministry of Transport see sense. However, her intended grand gesture turns out to threaten the political career of her son and the tranquility of her dotty family more than the bulldozers!

This 'feel good' comedy from the early seventies, and the assured pen of William Douglas Home, will have you chuckling from first to last.
Starring: Derek Jones, Camila Burgess, Richard Clarke, Sue Bale, Emma Holder, Colin Hayman, and introducing Nick Goodman & Austin Caley

The cast all play with great energy and commitment, but there are times hen the dialogue suffers by being delivered too quickly and the subtlety of the language is sacrificed to pace.

What the Butler Saw

JOE Orton’s masterpiece What the Butler Saw, is conventionally greeted with lascivious nods and winks.

In Mike Rogers’ production, the psychiatrist’s consulting room is dominated by an enormous curtained-off double bed into which Dr Prentice (Graham Paramor) is hoping to lure pretty, innocent young Geraldine (Georgie Brazier), there to apply for the post of his secretary.

See How They Run

Favourite Farce is just hilarious

WHEN Philip King's See How They Run was first produced, in the dark days of blackout, Doodlebugs and threatened invasion, it was an im-mediate success, and has remained a favourite ever since.
The play involves a British lance corporal (George Goulding) and an escaped prisoner-of-war (Stewart Taylor), both disguised as vicars, together with two genuine vicars (Alistair Faulkner and Paul Marsh).
