Charade
Written by Janet Shaw
Directed by Len Reid
A bittersweet adult comedy full of humour and pathos.
Following the success of his last production (One Day I’ll Fly Away), Director Len Reid has chosen another comedy written by Janet Shaw.
The play is set in 1970 and Kate is about to marry Steven on the romantic Greek island of Xantos. Their families haven’t met before arriving and when they do meet, the two mothers detest each other on sight, causing a volcanic clash of style and temperament. The two fathers are also nowhere to be seen. The bride’s Aunt Issie arrives and skeletons now fall out of the cupboards at an alarming rate. It’s been twenty five years since World War Two ended, but ghosts from the past reveal a trail of heartbreak and discovery for both families. A bittersweet adult comedy full of humour and pathos, which will have you laughing and crying, probably at the same time.
(Please note this play has no connection to the 1963 Film of the same name starring Carry Grant and Audrey Hepburn.)
Tickets: £14; Available via phone (01425 542414) or online.
