Introduction
Up

 

By Bettine Manktelow

This comedy focuses on a day in the life of Alec Partridge a theatre manager, as he is forced to contend with an alcoholic producer, a two timing stage hand and a Chairman of the Board with his fingers in the till all the while trying to put on a production of ‘Oklahoma’ with real corn and horses! As the events unfold the play proves that the action backstage is often more entertaining than that in front of the curtain.

 

October 6th - 8th 2005

 

A play with an unusual mix of comedy and drama, which gave the cast lots of scope to develop individual character roles.   We were pleased to welcome the playwright to our final performance and to discuss our interpretation with her after the show.  See photos below.
