Spring Production – Wild Goose Chase

The Monkton Players Spring Production is Wild Goose Chase by Derek Benfield, directed by Graham Pinney. This farcical comedy is guaranteed to have the audience laughing as Chester Dreadnought bluffs his way into an aristocratic family eking out an impecunious existence in their crumbling stately home. Even a trigger happy Lord suffering from hallucinations cannot keep at bay the enterprising pair of jewel thieves who are pursuing their loot – not to mention Chester – round the castle. Mistaken identities, a love interest and dotty servants all help to provide the variety of fare that goes to the making of this wild goose chase. The play will be performed from Thursday 4th to Saturday 6th April Doors open at 7.30pm Curtain up at 8pm Tickets are priced at £7 (full)…

Autumn Production Announced!

Productions

Well, we have chosen our next play and are all pretty excited about it. At the end of October we will be presenting the world premiere of “I know what that is – it’s a thingumajig” by our very own John Furse. We are sure that all our regulars will love this as it has all their favourite characters and the usual mayhem. Mavis runs the local Post Office in Gigglebeauchamp-on-Birtle, which may or may not be under threat in the latest round of cuts. Not only does she have to cope with the possibility of losing her livelihood, but a motley collection of villagers keep her on her toes. There’s well-known “dolly magnet” Davie, hotly pursued by sex mad Granny Riddle. Then there is the postman, Pat (yes, really!)…
