French Weekend
The weekend in Marly with ‘Pygmalion’ was a huge success. There were 143 people in the audience, who all appreciated the high standard shown by us for this classic play. We were treated royally by our hosts in Marly and again cemented the wonderful friendship between the two theatre groups.
Possible future productions
Death Trap – Ira Levin
Out of Sight, Out of Murder – Fred Carmichael
The Hollow – Agatha Christie
The Unseen Academicals – Terry Pratchett
Caught in the Net – Ray Cooney
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd – Agatha Christie
Come on, Jeeves – P.G. Wodehouse (and Guy Bolton)
