The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate’s Townswoman’s Guild Dramatic Society Murder Mystery by David McGillvray and Walter Zerlin
September 17 to September 25, 2010
Directed by Kayte Parnell
The four ladies of The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society (F.A.H.E.T.G.D.S.)
are a force to be reckoned with. The sheer scale of their ambition in mounting "Murder at Checkmate Manor"
an ambiguous and cunning Agatha Christie style 1930’s drawing room mystery, is only matched by their overwhelming
confidence in their abilities to master all fourteen parts. There were problems at dress rehearsal but surely
everything will go well on the night…surely.

Children of a Lesser God by Mark Medoff
November 26 to December 4, 2010
Directed by Andrea Sereda
This sincere melodrama
is the uplifting love story about an idealistic special education teacher (James) who falls in love with one of his deaf students (Sarah).
At first, James sees Sarah as a teaching challenge. But soon their teacher/student relationship blossoms into a love so passionate it shatters.
The central conflict of Mark Medoff's play is on whose terms the romance will exist: will Sarah learn how to read lips and talk,
as James wants her to, or communicate only in sign language (what she calls a "silence full of sound")?
A Tony award winner in 1980 this play was made into a very successful film in 1986

All in Good Time by Bill Naughton
May 6 to May 14, 2011
Directed by Louis B. Hobson
Set in Bolton, Lancashire, this very funny but sensitive play
centres on the introverted Arthur and his new bride forced by economic circumstances to live with
his good-hearted but rough-tongued father. The lack of privacy is so inhibiting that Arthur is
unable to consummate the marriage, and gradually word gets around. Gossip flourishes and tongues wag.
Will true love eventually win over. Can Arthur lose his inhibitions! Filmed as The Family Way with Hywel Bennett, John Mills and Hayley Mills.
"All in Good Time makes a tenderly perceptive human comedy out of a single obvious and quaint-sounding joke" - Time Magazine 1966
