Lympstone Players – Plaster & Separate Tables
After more than a year, the Lympstone Players are back with an entertaining double bill. Join us as we spring into action with comedy and drama and lively evenings of indiscretion, intrigue and insight on Thursday 16, Friday 17 and Saturday 18 April at 7.30 p.m. in the Village Hall, (there will be a supper available before the performances on Friday and Saturday).
The comedy is supplied by “Plaster” – a wickedly funny piece based around an horrific car accident! It’s taken from Richard Harris’s ‘Visiting Hour’ – a series of short plays with a hospital theme first performed at the National Theatre in 1987.
The drama comes from “Separate Tables: Table No. 7” – one half of Terence Rattigan’s famous double bill “Separate Tables” which was first performed in the mid- fifties. Hugely successful in London and on Broadway, it went on to be an Oscar winning film and is regarded by many as Rattigan’s finest work. We shall be enacting a version never performed in Rattigan’s lifetime, incorporating a key change not discovered until after his death.
In keeping with this 1950s theme, a pre-performance Theatre Supper will also be available on Friday 17th and Saturday 18th April. Numbers for the supper are limited so early booking is essential.
Tickets are £8 for the Plays and £5 for the Supper. You can buy them from The Lympstone Players Box Office, c/o Greg and Sharon, The Haven, The Strand, Lympstone between 4.00 and 7.00 pm daily, telephone 274551, or email lympstoneplayers@gmail.com
