Director’s Cut A view from directors Heather Evans
And Ryan Blake Randall
This play is hilarious. It has some excellent one liners, great situation comedy and a real warm feel to it. Put that together with a fab cast and you’ll understand just why we did the play. It is always nice to have a new member so a big welcome and thank you to Phil for joining us. It has been a joy to direct this play and watch it take shape. However the final tweaking is being left up to Ryan, my co-director who is taking over the reins while I am off in sunnier climes!

Heather This is the first play that I have directed and what a brilliant play it is. I’ve done both acting and been part of front of house before but never directed a full play. When I was asked if I’d like to help direct this show I was only too happy. I’ve really enjoyed it – it’s funny and all the cast are perfect for the parts. Once I got into it I really enjoyed directing even though at first I was slightly unsure, but then again – Nobody’s Perfect!

Georgia Darlison Georgia plays Harriet
It is great to have Georgia back on stage after a break of a couple of years. In the meantime she has got married, changed job and appeared in a charity calendar – do take a look in the bar to see her as ‘Miss May’.
Cast Profile
Chris Jarvis Chris plays Leonard Chris is back on stage after the huge success of Bouncers earlier this year. Then he played both a man and a woman. In this year’s panto he was the dame and tonight…well, wait and see. There does seem to be a pattern forming though!

Christine Rye Christine plays Dee Dee
Christine has been involved in quite a few of the plays this year, from ‘An Inspector Calls’, to the Crew play ‘A Grimm Night for Hans Anderson’ and now this. As well as all that she is in charge of Front of House, and helps run the youth group! You would think after all that she would need a break – but she can’t wait for panto!!

Their Loss is Our Gain...
Georgia Darlison Raising money for Breast Cancer Research UK
When Georgia joined her slimming club she really didn’t expect to
be getting naked – but that’s just what she’s done.
13 local ladies from Lighter Life agreed to strip off ‘Calendar Girls’
style to raise money for Breast Cancer Research UK. After
shedding a staggering 68 stones between them, they shed their
clothes and bravely went in front of the camera.
Since then they have
appeared on Central
News and in the Sunday
Mirror. They have already
raised in excess of
£12,000 and the
calendars are still selling
well. These fab calendars
showing our ‘Miss May’
are available in the bar
area at £5 each – all the
proceeds go to charity.
Well done Georgia!
