Following from our successes in 2011, our programme for this year (2012) will begin with the very successful play by Willy Russell, "Our day out". Sad, funny, humourous and true to life, this play for television has been adapted for the stage. It tells the story of a bunch of underprivileged schoolchildren who are taken on a day out to the seaside by their teachers - liberalist Mrs Kay, who just wants the kids to have a "good day out" and authoritarian Mr Briggs who is concerned that it should be an educational experience.

  “Christ, they’re all bloody backward round here” says the lollypop man, somewhat soured by constant contact with youth.

The play, a lovely plate of chips, is lavishly sprinkled with the vinegar of adult disapproval. “Most of you don’t know how to enjoy yourselves, so I’ll tell you,” says the master in charge, his nose burnished with rage and fear.

“On a coach trip we sit quietly in our seats and We Don’t Do Anything Else”  This, as it proves, is optimistic.  One thinks of vandals and Visigoths and Manchester United as of the good old days.

 

We are always on the lookout for new members, not just to act but also to help in a variety of roles that keeps this energetic and enthusiastic village activity going.  Please contact us if you are interested by ringing our Secretary, Rachel on 01664 434122 or our Chair, Julie on 01664 434994.
