The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society Murder Mystery

Product Information

It was the heavy-handed arrest of 20-year-old Leroy Alphonse Cooper on July 3 that sparked the Toxteth riots. His detention led to a brief disturbance that left three officers injured, but instead of fading away, the trouble escalated over the days that followed. The crowds were eventually dispersed with the use of CS gas – the first time such a tactic had been used in Great Britain. This was a very challenging play with a small cast but these formidable ladies did it like no one else! The information on housing, people, culture, employment and education that is displayed about Farndale Avenue, Corby, NN17 1LS is based on the last census performed in the UK in 2021. Similarly, Adam Woolley’s barely competent stage hand Adrian, with his dry physicality, ineptitude and faithful adherence to health and safety regulations, was a welcome and entertaining presence. His most significant role, however, turned out to be pushing Chloe Petts’ Kate about the stage in a wheelchair – Petts is undoubtedly the funniest member of the cast, flitting deftly between cantankerous OAP and Glasgow bouncer in the roles of 3 rd Witch and Macduff respectively. So convincing was her angry Scots turn that, I doubt anyone would have batted an eyelid.

Perhaps it’s because of the naff sounding titles, that the Farndale series of plays are sometimes confused with light, frothy comedies that are easy to stage and to perform…and to enjoy. But Farndale plays are complex, very carefully crafted and come with explicit instructions. You deviate from these at your peril. established in the heart of the a free home valuation gets the village for over 40 years selling process started large residential Letting & highly trained negotiators can help Management Department you find a property across the UK It’s a cliché, but the title of this play says more or less everything about CUDOS’s latest production, it was a farcical and very funny take on Shakespeare’s tragedy. The ladies of the Farndale Avenue Housing Estate ride roughshod, bumbling their way through with the forlorn hope of impressing competition judge Mr. Peach, who’s come all the way up from that London! That’s the joke. No nuance or subtlety here. No social consciousness, just women from an estate doing Macbeth really badly!Staging the play in the restricted area of the Studio could have caused a few headaches. But, in fact, the set design was a triumph; and the intimacy of the whole space added greatly to the atmosphere. There were four exits (SL archway, SR passage, SR stairway and a window), plus a false door and a fireplace Review for THE NOMADS, Nomad Theatre, East Horsley June 2019 The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen’s Guild Dramatic Society Murder Mystery

West Midlands Labour Party accused the police of 'provocative action', particularly with regards to the deployment of the Special Patrol Group, which was used to chase away looters in Wolverhampton. But West Midlands Chief Constable Sir Philip Knight defended his actions, saying that the toll of the looting and rioting would have been much worse had it not been for the strong relationship between the police and community.How much of the violence was down to outside agitators will probably never be known. But there was no shortage of locals who took part in the disturbances either. In the days that followed, a 23-year-old man from Dudley was jailed for a month for chanting "Let's have a riot", while a 17-year-old from Rubery, near Bromsgrove, was sentenced to three months' detention for overturning bins, jostling passers-by and shouting. Once again, the Boxford Drama Group Ladies turned to the Farndale Avenue series of plays for their Spring production having previously produced two of the side-splitting Farndales, ‘The Haunted Through Lounge’ and ‘Recessed Dining Nook at Farndale Castle’with ‘Chase Me Up Farndale Avenue, S’il Vous Plait,’ which sees the hapless ladies of the Farndale WI attempt a French farce. confused the characters…particularly when the light switch also operated the telephone…great moment! The Isle of Man video was beautifully filmed and artfully projected. Very dignified performances by Mr Beasley and the Manx cat. Props were always available and hilariously inappropriate…particularly the recurring accordion. Costumes were well chosen, in that they were slightly eccentric for the characters and completely bonkers for the fashion show.
