QT Theatre Group Christmas Production
The eagle eyed among you will have noticed that your editor made a mistake in her review of the second of the two plays performed at Christmas, I put a character from the first play I twice – for which I sincerely apologise to Jo Gallagher for, I had correctly named her under photograph, shown below but missed her in my text! So, here is corrected review After an interval with refreshments we all took our places to see ‘Last Panto in Little Grimley’. This revolved around an amateur dramatic society trying to put on a Panto, written by their script writer Gordon, played by Ron Berry, who hopes to get audiences flocking to see it. However, as you can imagine this doesn’t go to plan, what with a dwindling budget, problem lighting and acting ability there are some interesting twists. The audience were in tears of laughter watching all the mishaps as they unfolded. What with slip-ups, knockouts and patch-ups along side of snide and sarcastic exchanges between Bernard, played by Jules Richards and Margaret, played by Kat Seddon. Plus the hilarity caused by Joyce, played by Jo Gallagher who is supposed to be taking minutes but struggles to spell and causes Gordon much frustration! They struggle to get everyone together to rehearse so the the final scene ends in complete chaos, with the lighting failing, actors all over the place until eventually the pantomime collides with other on stage and they all end up on the floor!
