A Murder Mystery… Next Week – Curtain up on Murder

Time flies and our next production, Curtain up on Murder by Bettine Manktelow, is on next week. The stage is set (almost) the actors are ready (nearly) and all we need now are you, our loyal audience!

If you don’t know the plot then it’s quite simple… An amateur company are rehearsing a play in an end-of-pier theatre when inexplicably they are locked in and one by one begin to die…

As you can tell it is a classic murder mystery… The theatre and all of the characters have their skeletons in the closet, to be revealed (or not) throughout this great production.

Curtain Up On Murder – June 5th to 7th

We are deep into rehearsals for our next production, ”Curtain Up On Murder” by Bettine Manktelow.
Curtain Up on Murder - Production Artwork600

 

An amateur company are rehearsing a plain an end-of-pier theatre when inexplicably they are locked in and one by one begin to die…

This is a classic murder mystery with a twist. The play within a play concept is always fun to play with especially outside of the boundaries of comedy (although there are laughs here as well as murderous intent!). Also there are a few extra strands of deceit and strained personal relations to help throw in some red herrings and keep you all guessing until the end. It is a few years since we did a proper “whodunnit” and we hope you enjoy our production…

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!).

We perform “Acts of Deceit” at Albrighton Primary School, Newhouse Lane, Albrighton, WV7 3QS on Wednesday 2nd, Thursday 3rd, Friday 4th and Saturday 5th April 2014.  Tickets are £7 for adults and £6 for concessions.
