May meeting

Last night was a hoot!  At one point G Speechly was speechless and LH was snorting into her script....That man Ayckbourn - how does he manage to pull humour out of ordinary people in disfunctional relationships and make us laugh despite ourselves? 
MC brought along volume 1 of "Intimate Exchanges" and selected one play.  The volume comprises 4 plays, I think, each with the same opening scenes, so one can choose which way to go with the story.  The plays are for 4 characters, but played by just 2 actors.  AA requests that any group putting a play on with 4 actors should tell the audience before hand of his intentions, so they can understand the play's idiosyncrasies, and know what they are missing!  Sorry, AA, if MC picks this one for our Spring production we'd like to include as many members as possible, so 4 actors it is.

There will be no June meeting as it clashes with the dress rehearsal for our Shakespeare production.
