CHAOTIC FARCE GUARANTEES A LAUGH OR TWO
A farce, set in a vicarage invaded by drunkenness, mistaken identity, misunderstandings and cross-dressing, will be the next stage production from the Claygate Dramac Society to delight its audiences.
Aer a run of hugely popular and spectacularly funny plays and pantomimes, the society hopes “Don’t Get Your Vicars in a Twist” will have theatre-goers rolling in the aisles for its performances on three nights from Thursday April 3 to Saturday April 5 in Claygate Village Hall, with a manee on the Saturday.
Rehearsals, led by show director Samuel Helen, are well under way and an elaborate set involving several doors and a staircase, essential in any great farce, is being constructed by local volunteers under the supervision of Greg Moreton.
Tickets are now on sale for the four shows at £15 each. There will be an interval with light refreshments on sale. The Saturday manee begins at 4pm and all evening performances at 7.30.
Tickets can be bought by emailing belitacharrington@hotmail.co.uk, or calling her on 020 8398 8660. They can also be bought by post via the society’s website: https://www.claygatedramaticsociety.co.uk/
PANTOMIME TRIUMPH
Hundreds of enthusiastic pantomime lovers aended the society’s pre-Christmas production of “The 12 Days of Christmas”, which included colourful dance routines performed by youngsters from the Stagecoach Hinchley Wood and Esher stage school.
Directed by Dawn Lacey, the cast included highly talented local actors as well as one or two new and first-rate faces. The society always welcomes new members: just email info@claygatedramacsociety.co.uk to get involved, on stage or behind the scenes.
