Choosing a villain to star in our upcoming production of “Tomb With a View” which will be performed at Berrow Village Hall on May 16th, 17th and 18th 2024. It’s difficult to know which is worse…! Come along and see which one we choose!
This Play marked the return of a full length play to the stage 2 repertoire and the debut of new acting talents as well as our fantastic Director Linda.
About the Play:
Springtime, and time for another murder mystery! But this dramatic offering from Paul Mathews. A great comedy evening for cast and audience alike, our Spring 2023 production, began with 5 sketches, all of which explored the ups and downs of planning and preparing for an am-dram show… The sketches were followed by Part 1 of our Murder Mystery comedy play “Murder at Dress Rehearsal” by Paul Mathews – the main element of the dramatic evening. This is a one act play – about a play-within-a-play, set in a village hall (surprise!). The comedy plays on the known eccentricities of local theatre. Real life drama causes tension on and offstage at the dress rehearsal for ‘Ich Liebe Dich’, a wartime play. But worse is to come when someone switches the blank ammunition, with murderous consequences!
After the success of “Lockdown” by D. Tristram, he promptly wrote another episode in the “Little Grimley” saga – the sixth in the hugely popular series – entitled: “MURDER! in Little Grimley”. As Tristram afficianados we siezed the chance to perform the play, which follows the antics of a hapless Amateur Dramatic Society desperate for audiences. We love this series because it is really rewarding to perform, with great characters and very funny dialogue. The plots reflect familiar issues as they are set in a village very like Berrow, and so many situations echo the real problems of being in a small amateur drama group – although we have had no murders at Stage 2… so far! In addition to the main play we performed some amusing sketches and our usual fun quiz to make the evening complete.
About the Play:
In the latest Grimley scenario… Anxious to cash in on the public’s appetite for detective dramas, the Chairman Gordon writes a whodunit… but in a bizarre twist he then finds himself embroiled in a real-life murder mystery that threatens to put him behind bars. The quarrelsome quartet have been in some sticky situations over the years. But can they possibly get away with murder?
