And Easy (5m, 4f) |

Enjoy a real nostalgia treat with this gently
humorous, hugely entertaining, piece of escapism.
Set to a backdrop of over fifteen hits of the 50s
and 60's, we follow the trials and tribulations
of Eric Dobbins, the dryly nonchalant publican,
and his matriarchal wife, Iris (a stereotypical
landlady), as they, their staff and their regulars
fight to save the pub from the unscrupulous hands
of the brewery manager who sees it as a potential
lap-dancing venue. Requires a cast of competent
singers and a three-piece band. |
| Lumley
Mill (18m, 20f) |
| |
Set in the fields and farms of
England circa 1890. John Bartlett's play is a
lovingly created look back at those simpler times
of shepherds and squires; innocence and indulgence;
Morris men, maidens and milk-maids. Using traditional
English folk tunes, this play is an unusual, but
fascinating glimpse at the social mores and constraints
of Victorian agricultural society. The cast list
is quite large, so there is ample scope for doubling
if necessary, or for involving a large number
of actors where this is possible. |
| The
Giggleswick Players Do 'Full Frontal' (8m,
11f) 100 mins |
| |
An affectionate behind-the-scenes
look at life both on and off stage at an Amateur
Dramatics group. With ambitions that are amorous
as well as artistic, romances flourish and fail,
in the midst of the Directors attempts to stage
a musical comedy. Requires several competent singers
and dancers - even though the parts they are playing
can't sing or dance (or act for that matter). |
| Sunshine
Mountain (15m, 11f, 3m/f) |
| |
Set in the mid-1930's, a group of excitable children
are taken to the seaside for a day. An endearing
look back at more relaxed past times, when Sunday
School charabanc outings were very popular and deckchair
attendants ruled the beach! Suitable for either
adult or school productions. |
