PLEASE NOTE THIS PRODUCTION STARTS AT 19.30 and Matinee at 14.30
Every drama group has experienced the horrors of what can go wrong on opening night, and the ladies of the F.A.H.E.T.G. Dramatic Society are no different – with the possible exception that almost everything that could happen does!
The scenery collapses, cues are missed, lines forgotten, and the sound effects take on a strange note at times as the ladies present their ambitious evening’s entertainment with the cunning whodunit, “Murder at Checkmate Manor.”
And just in case the audience should get bored, there’s a fashion show, a murder mystery quiz (complete with a prize!) and a jolly sing-a-long at the end.
And for the murder-mystery resolution, Mrs. Reece, doyenne of the group, rises above the slings and arrows of outrageous dramatics to save the situation and provide the final inventive twist.
Before the Play That Goes Wrong there were the Farndale Ladies!
