GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE

 GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE {4M:3F} – A FARCE (115 mins) - See Review


Competition gardening can certainly bring out a different side in people: there's nothing like a scuffle over who grows the mightiest sunflowers to turn placid people into homicidal horticulturists. Everything begins with a tiff over the siting of a new orangery, but things quickly escalate from there. Cue misunderstandings galore. By the time proceedings draw to a breathless close we've uncovered grand scale corporate fraud, illegitimate offspring, mistaken identities and a memorable moonlit marrow scene not to mention those sunflowers. It's all classic English farce material played out, appropriately, in an English country garden (well, allotment).

WHO'D HAVE THOUGHT IT?

  WHO’D HAVE THOUGHT IT? {4M:4F} – A COMEDY (115 mins) -  See Review The trustees of Felliscombe Museum are set to take a conference call in the local church hall in a last ditch attempt to get a grant to save their fire-damaged museum. But an argument with the Caretaker leaves their hopes in ruins in a ghastly ‘open-mic’ moment. Moreover, behind the scenes it seems that someone doesn’t want the museum to survive. When a remorseful Caretaker is led to believe that the trustees also play together as a pop group she offers them a way out – £10,000 to pass themselves off as her Dad’s defunct tribute band and play at a 30 year reunion event. A ‘Will-they-won’t-they?’ teaser tale follows as the most unlikely characters ever to comprise a rock group get drawn into pretending to be one and change their group dynamics in the process.  Stuck between a 'Rock!’ and a hard up place – you’d be surprised how far people will go to save a local museum!

LOSING THE PLOT

 LOSING THE PLOT {4M:3F + ENSEMBLE} - A MUSICAL COMEDY [ SEE REVIEW ] It all begins with a tiff over veggie beds and  illegally entered show marrows, but things quickly escalate from there. By the time proceedings draw to a breathless close two Acts later, we've uncovered money laundering, illegitimate offspring confused with illegitimate show entry produce, and obscene rockery building (and there's a phrase you don't see very often!). Not to mention singing sunflowers and a giant vegetable mistaken for a bomb!
