NOVEMBER PRODUCTION |
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
|
We have almost made a decision as to what the November
production will be…almost because we have narrowed our decision down to a
choice of two plays. Our reason for having two plays to choose from is that the
two selected plays are very different in style and cast requirements: one is
a musical with the scope for a large cast whilst the other is a straight play
which could be performed by a much smaller cast – quite simply, we are
hedging our bets to see how many people turn up to auditions. Both plays feature
roles for youth and adult performers with a good variety of large and small
roles plus the possibility of adding non-speaking extras. The two selected plays are: “The Boy Who Fell Into A Book” a comedy by Alan Ayckbourn This excellent play requires a minimum of six people to
stage – though there is scope to add additional performers due to the nature
of the script. Brief synopsis: Rockfist Slim's enemies have just plunged him into yet another desperate situation when Kevin has to close his detective book and go to sleep. But his own adventure is only just beginning. Fast-moving, fun and full of special effects, Ayckbourn's wonderfully inventive play for children brings alive several well-known children's books as Kevin and Rockfist Slim escape the baddies and plunge into many different worlds. “The Canterville Ghost” a musical comedy by Peter Quilter & Charles Miller from a story by
Oscar Wilde This light-hearted romp requires a larger cast – though
not all roles are singing and some roles would be quite small. Brief synopsis: When a brash American family
stay at the gothic English stately home Canterville Chase, they fail to be
the least bit frightened by Sir Simon, the resident ghost. Condemned by a
curse to haunt the house forever, Sir Simon tries every spooky trick in the
book, though his antics only provide amusement. But young There will be a workshop and auditions on Sunday July 2nd
at Areley Kings Village Hall (2pm – 5pm) – we will workshop both scripts and then decide which of the two scripts to
undertake, based on the number of people who want to audition for the
production and the general feeling of everyone who is there as to which play
is favourite. Please do come
along…whichever play we choose to undertake will be fun and exciting to
rehearse and should provide much amusement and entertainment for our
audiences. If you know of anyone who might want to join our happy group,
please drag them along and get them involved. |
