LOOKING FORWARD TO 2026

Auditions for our May play will be held at the Village Hall on 12 and 15 January from 7:30pm.

Ken and Chris have found their host Charley, a prominent Government official, in his bedroom, too dazed to speak, with a bullet wound in his ear lobe! Len and Claire arrive, themselves injured in a car crash, and are soon joined by Ernest and Cookie, Glenn and Cassie, each with their own problems. A second, accidental, gunshot leaves Ken temporarily deaf, the police arrive and Len has to pretend he is Charley, concocting a touching and fantastic explanation. There are 5 female and 5 male parts, with some quite small, so do come along to auditions and to learn more. You are also most welcome if you are able to help with any backstage roles.
