Following on from the successful audition of ‘Abigail’s Party’ at the beginning of September, we discovered we were unable to obtain a licence for the play due to a professional production touring in the near future. A meeting was held to consider whether we should persevere with an Autumn play, and having made the decision to do this we successfully auditioned and cast ‘Just Between Ourselves’ by Alan Ayckbourn.

The auditions for our autumn production of ″Confusions″ by Alan Ayckbourn will take place on Friday August 11th from 7:30 pm at the Plaza. These will take the usual format with parts being read on a closed stage with the Directors (Hazel & James) and an impartial assistant.

Ten strangers, apparently with little in common, are lured to an island mansion off the coast of Devon by the mysterious U.N.Owen.
