Painswick Players in the Dark!Future Dramas Threatened?
It’s all over. Black Comedy has finally and comically
been blacked out for the last time. The last Buddha has fallen to its shattering
end. The ingenious three-storey set is once more just a pile of wood and canvas.
In short, the summer production is now just a memory. As for how good it was, I
think I’ll leave the verdict to Painswick’s answer to Bernard Levin, whose
review – I believe - appears elsewhere. So, what’s next? Well, this is where the real theatre
begins! Because, once more it’s time for the Annual Grumble & Moan, aka
the Painswick Players AGM. Already, dramatic rumours of revolution are sweeping
through the ranks of PPs. Significantly, sources close to Michael Portillo have
refused to deny that a leadership challenge is being considered. Committee
members have been spotted in nervous huddles trying to work out a believable
cover story as to how the entire PP stock of cheap Hungarian red was consumed at
committee meetings. Amongst other burning questions for debate at the AGM is
the Autumn production, already scheduled for 29th, 30th November and 1st
December. Should it be a farce? Should it be a thriller? Or should it, as
favoured by our team of techies, be Jurassic Park? What other monstrously
dramatic plans are afoot in Painswick? Why not come along to the AGM at 8.00 pm
on Tuesday 4th September in the Green Room at the Painswick Centre and join in? Jack Burgess, Painswick Players |
