Our next production is another Supper/Theatre featuring a double helping of Chaos and Comedy:

and
BLACK COMEDY by Peter Shaffer.

Doors open - 7.00pm for a 7.30pm start.

Following the success of our previous supper events, food & drinks will be served to your table of six and the entertainment will be polished to the very highest am-dram standard, so why not bring along some friends for an evening of local excellence?

Last Tango in Buntingford
The local amateur dramatic society is in trouble - the membership has dwindled to four and the audiences aren't much bigger. "There's only one thing that sells tickets these days" argues Gordon the chairman, "Sex!"
The bedlam that follows culminates in a night of extraordinary home-grown drama and an evening the locals would never forget!

Black Comedy
Struggling artist Brindsley Miller and his fiancée Carol are aiming to impress Carol’s bombastic father and a deaf millionaire who may buy some of Brindsley’s sculptures. They have 'borrowed' the furniture of a neighbour, the camp and fussy Harold Gorringe, to make the flat more presentable.

But then the main fuse blows, plunging the flat into darkness and only we, the audience, can see what is happening when Harold returns unexpectedly and Brindsley attempts to return the furniture before the lights are restored, while keeping Carol and the other guests in the dark about the arrival of his ex-girlfriend Clea. The result, as you might expect, is chaotic, disastrous – and very funny.

You cannot afford to miss this one!

JOIN THE SOCIETY?
We are always keen to welcome new members, be it on or off stage. If interested, we can usually be found rehearsing at Benson Hall from 8-10 on Thursday evenings.
