A
Dark Comedy written by: Eric Coble

|
How
far would you go for your child? For Genevra and
Joshua Bradley, the question is no longer hypothetical.
Their three-year-old son, Mac, is next on the waiting
list to get into the Bright Ideas Early Childhood
Development Academy—and everyone knows once
you’re in there, your life will unfold with
glorious ease. Josh and Gen have had to scramble
all their lives to get this far…and now they
are one fatal dinner party away from the ultimate
success as parents: The Right Pre-School. You may
never look at pre-school—or pesto—the
same way again… |

The
Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic
Society's Production Of "A Christmas Carol"
A
Comedy with music written by: David McGillvray and Walter
Jnr

| In
a festive mood, the ladies mount another assault on
the classics with their stage version of A Christmas
Carol. They enthusiastically portray a dizzy array
of characters from the Dickensian favorite (and a
few which aren't), engineer some novel audience participation
while bravely contending with an intrusive PA system
and a real Farndale first wrap their vocal cords and
feet around two original, show stopping songs. Another
classic dramatic massacre that enthralls." Independent.
"Not since the Monty Python mob dressed up as
The Batley Townswomen's Guild and re enacted the Battle
of Pearl Harbor with their handbags have I tittered
so much." Daily Express. "Hilarious."

The
Premature Corpse
A
Crime Thriller by: Mike Johnson
 
This
masterfully plotted show has so many twists and turns
that we're going to tell you only the bare minimum of
the story so you can enjoy the surprises when you see
the show. On the surface, it's a "love triangle"
tale: State's witness Evan Jorris is under a government
witness protection program after testifying against
the mob. Also in the protection program is his wife,
Francine. She along with her their lawyer, her lover,
Larry Craig contrives to do away with her husband, They
are confident that Evan's protector, federal agent Bert
Marshak, will assume, logically, that the mob did the
deed, and never suspect the two of them. This deceptively
simple setup, however, is not at all what it seems.
By the end of the first act, you may smugly think you
can second guess the play's outcome but in the second
and final act, you'll ruefully discover that you not
only don't know what's what you don't even know who's
who! |
