Coarse Acting
Strikes Back - by Michael Green
This was great fun to perform and
from the laughter in the hall, the audiences had fun too!
The Hampshire Chronicle wrote:
"The latest amateur production at the Ritchie Hall was a complete
shambles.
This reporter has seldom seen anything like it.
To say the show was under-rehearsed would be to assume that the cast
had actually held a run-through, which seems unlikely.
The acting ranged from abysmal to non-existent. The stage sets were
shoddy, the props apparently engaged in silent conspiracy agains the
cast.
If this sounds harsh, you've never seen TWITS in action.
And if you missed TWITS you missed an evening of non-stop hilarity."
Photos will be posted soon.
Many of you will remember the series of "The Art of
Coarse..." books; Michael Green has written a number of plays showing
amateur theatre at its ... well, at its worst! As our regular audience
will know, we could never be that bad!
Trapped - a country house thriller with dead bodies galore.
Pride at Southanger Park - comedy of manners, à la Jane
Austen, with a spirited heroine and handsome man in search of a wife!
Oedocles, King of Thebes - a Greek tragedy. Your sympathy will
be drawn to Oedocles, King Lear had it easy.
 Produced
by Liz Taylor and Norma Hester.
