Spring Triple Bill Chosen!

At a meeting last night, we selected the following plays for our Triple Bill in April.

The Dock Brief by John Mortimer

We're currently looking for a director for this play! If you'd like to take a shot at it, please contact chair@woodhouseplayers.co.uk

45 Minutes To Go by Stephen Balchin

This will be directed by the author.

The Procedure by Kate Harper

This, too, will be directed by the author.

Thanks very much to the others who brought along alternative suggestions and to those who came along to the Church Hall to help decide.

Choosing One-Act Plays for the Spring

We promised that we'd put up a list of suggested one-act plays for the Spring on this board, so here's what we have so far:

45 Minutes to Go by Stephen Balchin
adovocated by Stephen Balchin

2f / 2m / 1m\f

Imagine if the whole reality of your world fell away suddenly and you found you were merely a theatrical cliche. That's the fate of the characters in this subversion of the conventional farce form.


The Bear by Anton Chekhov, translated Basil Clarke
advocated by Basil Clarke

2m / 1f (plus some small non-speaking parts).

This farce, in which an explosively angry creditor calls upon a histrionic widow, has been translated from the Russian by group member Basil Clarke.


A new one-act play by Kate Harper
advocated by Kate Harper

Currently lacking a title, set in the labyrinthine world of office bureacracy, Kate has written a comedy about form-filling!


A Fragrant Affair by Sonja Wardle advocated by Sonja Wardle 3m / 3f Set in a department store in London, this comedy traces the hectic shop floor day of the lovers, diggers and spenders, with a romantic surprise at the end...


The Dock Brief by John Mortimer
suggested by Ita Hill

2M, licence to pay

A two-hander play, set in a prison cell, no changes in scenery, not much action; mainly dialogue, and lasts about fifty five minutes. It's a drama/comedy about a prisoner who is standing trial for muder and his incompetent lawyer who's about forty and has never had a big case to defend yet.
