Acts of Deceit – Gosforth’s Fete

As we approach our opening night, we thought you might appreciate a sneak peek at each of our three “Acts of Deceit”.

Gosforth’s Fete by Alan Ayckbourn is a hugely popular and oft-performed short farce. It has all the classic ingredients of a little scandal, a little deceit, a vicar and an event on the point of collapse. Gosforth, the local publican, is organising a village fete to be opened by a local councillor. Gosforth is the “go to” man in the village who can sort you out with just about anything. However today his plans unravel as the brownie pack leader and scout pack leader have a bit of a crisis, partially caused by Gosforth himself. This of course has to be kept from the councillor and the rest of the attendees at the fete, but this is a bit tricky due to technology and weather conditions. This results in an hilarious climax of tea in the tea tent , speeches, recriminations and inebriation!

Alongside Gosforth’s Fete you will also be seeing Interior Designs by Jimmie Chinn and Cupboard Love by Jean McConnell (more on them to come!).

Our Next Production?… “Acts of Deceit”

For our spring production we have something a little bit special for you. On Wednesday 2nd to Saturday 5th April 2014 we are putting together an evening of 3 short plays all with a common central theme, the clue is in the title, “Acts of Deceit”. Three different directors with three different casts tackling three very different playwrights and works… Some are laugh out loud funny, some more thought provoking but all are very entertaining.

He’s Not Dead, He’s restin’

Been quiet for a week or two, just recuperating after our sterling efforts on Lucky Sods.

However we have something different and interesting planned for our next production. It will involve new directors, different challenges for our actors and a great evening’s entertainment.

We are meeting to read, choose and pull together a project in the next week. So right now is an ideal time to join Albrighton Players. If you have ever had a desire to go on stage or work backstage or just be involved with a social group and see how it goes then now is the time! There is something here for everyone!

Just email us on enquiries@albrightonplayers.org.uk

We put Lucky Sods to bed

Aaaand roll it up… The final part of the set is rolled up and stored away, the audiences have been and gone, thorougly entertained. The actors get to rest and forget the lines, for a few weeks at least!

Thanks to all who came to see us over the four performances, your support is appreciated as ever…

And now we sit back and consider our next production. We have something new and different up our sleeve but stay tuned and keep a date free for either Wednesday 2nd, Thursday 3rd, Friday 4th or Saturday 5th April 2014.
