While some of you are preparing for a well earned summer break the Jubilee Players will hardly have time to draw breath. We have just completed Dead Funny and for those of you who came to see it, I hope you enjoyed it. As with any production a great deal of work went into it, but it is all worthwhile if the audiences enjoyed it.

Anyway, moving onto the next production. It will take place in October, which seems such a long time away, but no doubt will be here before we know it. Gay Lloyd is directing Season’s Greetings by Alan Ayckbourn. I hate to say this, but, yes, it is set at Christmas time as the title suggests. I can’t believe I have mentioned Christmas already.

The play is set in the home of Neville and Belinda, who are having a few marital problems. Their house is full of friends, relatives and children. And although the children are never seen, they certainly have an affect on the adults. Squabbling soon breaks out and even the Christmas presents get rifled. There is a puppet show, which is rather an inept attempt at keeping the children amused, but it seems to upset the adults even more. A midnight love scene which goes horribly wrong, but which will (I hope) cause great hilarity in the audience.

And finally, the climax of the play comes when one of the guests is mistaken for a burglar and is shot by one of the family members.

There is so much more going on in this play, but I don’t want to spoil it. Of course, if you want to find out more you will have to come and see it. The production will be on Wednesday 29th, Thursday 30th and Friday 31st October. I will, of course, keep you informed of when the tickets will be going on sale.

All that remains is to wish you a happy summer break and hope that the weather is kind to you.
