Spring Production

 

“Dead Guilty”

By Richard Harris

Tues 10^th – Sat 14^th March 2009

 When John Haddrell dies of a heart attack at the wheel of his car, the woman at his side is not his wife Margaret but his lover, Julia. Recovering from her injuries she sustained in the crash, Julia is visited by Margaret, who apparently knows nothing of the affair. “Dead Guilty” is a sinister thriller from the pen of Richard Harris who also wrote “Stepping Out” and “Outside Edge”.

The Spring production will be directed by Joe Hackett, one of our talented and enthusiastic student members who is currently studying for his A levels and is looking for a place in Drama School to start next September. He has already directed plays at school and the SJP committee was very impressed with his plans for this production. He will have the support and be assisted by Cathy Dean, and experienced director, who also happens to be Joe’s Mum. We are very excited about this play and have high hopes for the outcome.

Characters:

Julia – An independent woman, forced to rely on others due to her guilt and injuries. Aged 25 –  40

Margaret – A strong, likeable woman who is not what she seems to be. Age 20 - 60

Gary – A simple but friendly man who doesn’t get it.

Aged 20 – 60

Anne – A friendly social worker. Any age.

Coroner – voice only.

Quiz evening

This went very well and was enjoyed by all who took part. The questions were set by John K and Martin entirely on Theatrical matters, fortunately with multiple choice answers! The Ploughman's Supper was provided by Nora, with Pat & Karen's help. The winning team was "The Directors" which comprised of Pam, Chris, Joe and Pip.
