Possibly the best non-competitive Drama Festival in the South-West
9, 10, 11 & 12 November 2011
The action takes place in the Bestwood’s London home in 1955.
It is thought that Alec, a respected consultant surgeon, is to receive a knighthood in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List. The two sisters of his wife, Monica, tell her that the affaire she has been having with Peter Varley must cease, if she is to become Lady Bestwood. Alec returns early from a business trip and discovers the affaire, but surprisingly shows no anger, only relief. He is very polite to Monica’s lover, and appears to actively encourage the affaire. Monica, however, takes her sisters’ advice and drops Peter, but is very put out to discover Alec’s indifference to this and suspects that he too is having an affaire with his secretary, Elizabeth.
Birthday Honours
March 2010, The cast take a bow.
Last years production, Early Blight; a powerful two hander delivered by different cast members each night. Obviously a society brimming with talent.
