PaDS In Alphabetical Order…

A is for Annual General Meeting on Thursday, 21st September, 7.30 pm at the Painswick Centre

B is for being there. So, be there for a truly dramatic evening!

C is for casting, now underway for the next PaDS production, Alphabetical Order

D is for its director (Alasdair King) and also for demented, which he probably soon will be;

E is for eagerly enthusiastic, which everyone is: after all, rehearsals haven’t yet started;

F is for Frayn (Michael), him what wrote Alphabetical Order;

G is for gritty dialogue and gutsy characters, which abound in Alphabetical Order;

H is for humour, humanity and homology, all of which also habound in Halphabetical Horder, and ‘ippos, ‘edgehogs and ‘omicide, which don’t,

I is… ungrammatical, which Alphabetical Order certainly am not. (But you certainly is: Editor)

J is for the journalistic jugulars, which the play goes for;

K is for knife-like repartee that does the cutting

L is for library, the curiously chaotic setting for Alphabetical Order

M is for Machiavellian manipulation, by which Alphabetical Order is created from the chaos

N is for November, 16th 17th and 18th, when Alphabetical Order will be memorably performed each evening

O! I nearly forgot: there will be a matinee on Saturday the 18th

P is for PaDS (of course) but also for Painswick Players which PaDS used to be and could be again. It all depends on the AGM (Thursday 21st September, 7.30 pm)

Q is for queues outside Painswick Centre for the AGM (Thursday 21st September, 7.30 pm), eager to join the debate on the re-naming of PaDS and other gripping issues.

R is for red (or white) wine, free glasses of, the real reason for the queues outside the Painswick Centre

S is for Saturday, 18th November, the last night for Alphabetical Order.

T is for Thursday, 16th November, the first night for Alphabetical Order and Thursday, 21st September for… the AGM

U is going to come ain’t U? Otherwise…

V have vays of making U change your mind.

W is watch this space, for more dramatic, behind-the-scenes revelations from PaDS and…

X is for the mysterious goings on once the AGM is over; so…

Y not come along and find out more?

Z is for ze end of zis piece, all of which was in… Alphabetical Order
