STAC, The Swan Theatre Amateur Company presents a double bill:
Last Tango in Little Grimley & The Fat Lady Sings in Little Grimley
Join us to follow the very funny exploits of the Little Grimley Amateur Dramatics Society, written by David Tristram.
LAST TANGO IN LITTLE GRIMLEY – Little Grimley Amateur Dramatic Society is in trouble. The membership has dwindled to four – the audiences aren’t much bigger – and if they don’t come up with some rent money soon, they’re going to be thrown out. “There’s only one thing that sells tickets these days” argues Gordon the Chairman. “Sex!” Thus begins the chaotic and hilarious build-up to an evening of extraordinary home-grown drama – an evening the locals would never forget!
THE FAT LADY SINGS IN LITTLE GRIMLEY – Gordon, Margaret, Joyce and Bernard tackle yet another threat to their survival – this time in the shape of a rival am-dram, newly-formed in their village, determined to upstage them with an award-winning musical. The querulous quartet pull together to devise an ingenious military-style plan that doesn’t go quite to plan. When their subterfuge is discovered by the rival society’s psychopathic front-of-house manager, he’s none too pleased. Add in a few emotional complications for Gordon, and things look a little grim for Little Grimley. Could this finally be the end of their society?
“The tale is told well by a wonderful cast creating memorable characters and displaying immaculate timing… so you can just sit back, laugh and enjoy, forgetting the world outside for a while.” Behind the Arras ★★★★
“The plays are completely independent of each other and both are very funny. There is something here which most of us will recognise just within these four well-acted characters.” The View from the Stalls ★★★★
