The Latimer Players Bring Farce to Thurcaston

Following the enormously successful production of ‘Beauty and the Beast’, which sold to packed houses every night, The Latimer Players are pleased to announce their next production will be ‘Move Over Mrs Markham’ a farce written by hilarious comedy writers Ray Cooney and John Chapman. The Latimer Players last did this play in 1991 and feel it is still topical today.
The story is about a couple whose 15-year-old marriage has lost some of the passion it used to have. To ignite the flame, they are going out to dinner but fail to tell each other that she has promised the flat to her friend whose neglectful husband is never home, and he has promised the flat to the same neglectful husband. Both couples hope to have a secret liaison with their intended lovers. Add into the mix the interior designer who has designs on the au pair and you have a fun packed evening of entertainment with the couples all vying for the master bedroom of the Markham’s apartment.
The production will take place in The Memorial Hall, Thurcaston on 25th, 26th and 27th April 2024. The evening’s entertainment will have café style seating where you are invited to bring drinks and nibbles to add to your enjoyment.
Tickets are priced at £8 each and are available from Christine Deavin – christinedeavin@gmail.com or 0116 237 6855.
