Central Bedfordshire Council: Coming soon to Linslade Middle School Drama Studio
Date Added: 02/09/2022
Three Plays on The Affairs of Husbands and Wives
Tue 20 - Sat 24 Sep 7.30pm @ Linslade School
Three plays from award-winning Leighton Buzzard Drama Group explore the themes of betrayal, deceit and clashing egos, staged at the intimate Linslade Middle School Drama Studio.
‘The Argument’ by William Boyd - Pip and Meredith have had a bust-up. It was only about their opinion of a film, but then it escalates. Contributions from friends and family hardly make things any easier! Both moving and funny in its tone, William Boyd explores what it is to argue with those we love - and those we should love. (Adult themes and strong language)
‘The Proposal’ by Anton Chekhov – A hilarious, high-octane, roller-coaster ride and one of the funniest farces ever written. Ivan approaches Chubukov to ask for his daughter’s hand in marriage. Chubukov approves, but will Natalya stop arguing with Ivan long enough to say yes?
‘Overtones’ by Alice Gerstenberg - Harriet and Margaret, poised and cultured, are taking tea together. Their polite conversation observes all rules of early 20th century etiquette, while their alter egos, their primitive selves, hurl hilarious insults. Who will get what they came for?
Director Carl Russell says ‘We’re mixing things up this time with a new venue, new staging and even some new writing. But we believe the quality of entertainment will continue to be of the very highest order.”
Running time: approximately 2 hours plus interval. Tiered Seating.
