Our Autumn 2024 production – 28th, 29th and 30th November
We will start the evening with a classic farce. The 39 Steps is Patrick Barlow’s award-winning spoof of the Buchan novel and Hitchcock masterpiece. Fresh from its nine-year hit run in the West End, it’s abridged so that the gags are even more outrageous and densely packed.
Undaunted, our ridiculously talented cast of five portray 150 characters in a fast and furious riot of physical theatre – a man is chased across the roof of a hurtling train, there are fight scenes, death scenes, car chases, handcuffs, missing fingers and romance!
With our customary professionalism, we have brought in a Physical Theatre Workshop expert to train our cast to use body movement to tell a story, and to learn stage techniques such as how to hit someone in a fight, how to fall safely, do a stage kiss and create a scene with minimal props (well, we could hardly fit the train or the cars onto the Village Hall stage, could we?)
The play will run uninterrupted for about an hour, at the end of which both cast and audience will be in need of sustenance! So, we will then re-open the bar and serve the included two-course meal. As dessert is served, our stunning cabaret will begin. Our very own Gorgeous Georgina Sweet will move onstage to rock the room with some of her most popular songs, ending on a suitably christmassy note to round off our jolly, sociable evening
Booking is now open. Since seating will be at tables ticket numbers will be limited so you are advised to book early.
