Our current production: The Ghost Train - SOLD OUT! |
|
The Ghost Train by Arnold Ridley 12th-15th November 2008 How many people know that Arnold Ridley, mild-mannered Private Godfrey in Dad's Army, wrote The Ghost Train which is set in the basic, cheerless waiting room at Fal Vale on the South Cornwall Joint Railway? He penned it in the 1920s and although it appears rather dated in the 21st century it retains the charm of the days when a man had to show a sense of decency if other people weren't to think of him as a prize ass. A tale of spooky happenings and a haunted waiting room isn't likely to have today's audiences quaking with fear, but this classic is certainly likely to keep Cheriton's audiences happy, intrigued and if not under their seats at least on the edge of them! Cast and Crew have been workingly hard over the past few weeks and have now put the finishing touches to the show which opened on Wednesday 12th November - feedback from first two nights: 'EXCELLENT'! Latest ticket situation: SOLD OUT - Contact Jo Bartlett at The Flower Pots Inn (01962 771318) for any returnsfor Fri/Sat performances. First come, first served! |

 Our recent production - Habeas Corpus by Alan Bennett - 23-26 April 2008
April saw the staging of Alan Bennett's hilarious adult comedy Habeas Corpus and played to full houses every performance. The sexual hang-ups and antics of the Wicksteed family and other cast members such as Canon Throbbing, Mr Shanks and Lady Rumpers, had audiences rolling in the aisles and Barbara Godwin of the Southern Evening Echo Curtain Call Awards was quoted as saying: "With spot on comedy timing, excellent props, lighting and sound effects, the whole is an artistic coup for director Bob Blake."
