The Fat Lady Sing in Little Grimley & A Jolly Sinister Jape

It is lovely coming back to this little theatre and tonight they were staging two comedy plays.  The first play was The Fat Lady Sing in Little Grimley was simply set with just some tables and chairs in front of a curtain which made it effective as you concentrated on just the characters.

This was a lovely play and if you have been on committees or even in an amateur dramatic society you will probably associate with some parts of this comedy!  All parts were well played by the cast of 4 and I loved the plan the characters cooked up to try and sabotage the newly formed am-dram’s show.  Well done to the cast for a lovely play.

The second play of the evening was A Jolly Sinister Jape and as soon as the curtain opened the audience around me including myself were very impressed with the set.   I was also impressed with the costumes.  This was another really good play and some of the double meanings were very good.  As the first play all parts were well played by another cast of 4 and the audience were definitely enjoying themselves, when Fatty, played by Emma Garvey, took off her dress and fat suit to reveal that she had lost a lot of weight some of the audience were doing the stripper tune!

An absolute wonderful evening full of laughter and thank you so much to Conquest Productions.
