Read Time:37 Second

Three one act plays, very different in style but with a linking theme of confusion, loss and distress, caused by words, spoken and unspoken. The Monkey’s Paw is a creepy tale of avarice, curses and ghosts, a warning to us all to be happier with our lot. Early Blight, a short play from the Deckchairs collection, is about the manipulation of another person’s life. And lastly, Sliced was written by James Gillingham, a member of the Players. It is a moving account of life after a death, a time when we realise that we didn’t ask enough questions or give enough answers, when we wish we had talked a bit more about the things that mattered to us.

Read Time:20 Second

LWW, as it became to be known, had nearly sixty people in the cast/crew list although the actual number of people involved was nearer to seventy. Enough white muslin to go around the world twice was used to create the winter wonderland of Narnia, director Juliet Harper and a cast of thirty created a little bit of magic in BT town hall.

2003 Two For One

Read Time:24 Second

As you can see from the programme, if you look closely, Two for One had a combined cast of nineteen, pretty good for two one act plays. I cant find a review so if you would like to submit a retrospective review then go to contacts and e-mail me. I have a vague memory of the plays that included some disco dancing, padded stomachs and a lot of pathos, or was that the Ghost Train?

This programme is difficult to read, but you can right click your mouse and use the zoom. If you have any more photos please let me know, especially if they show all that luvverly red blood spilling across the stage. Director Judy Leigh should be proud of this play as it attracted nominations in many categories at the SDDF, Nigel Gillingham walked off with the trophy for best actor, very annoying for the person who won it, for his portrayal of the demon barber.

1997 Gasping

Read Time:26 Second

Gasping, a play where salesmen sell the air we breath, by Ben Elton, was Mark Neal’s first foray into directing. A brave choice – having some difficult to stage scenes in a massage parlour and squash court, scenes that some professional companies leave out. Gasping was a great success and under Mark’s direction the actors gave of their best, David Scott on the massage table gave slightly more than his best, and the audience left having had a good return on their £3.50 ticket price.

Although we don’t archive our performances at Festivals this one I think is worth a mention. You will read in the newspaper article the multi-award winning production of the Proposal at the One Act Festival,was the last scene for character actor/director and all round goody Mabs Scarle who passed quietly away while watching the HAPS perform a play she had directed. Gone but not forgotten.
