Our
February 2019 production will be...
Whose Life Is It Anyway?
By Brian
Clark
Presented at
The Lancaster Theatre, Wycombe Abbey School
on 21st, 22nd, 23rd February 2019 at 8:00pm |
|
This thought-provoking play by Brian
Clark explores issues that are as relevant today as when it was first staged in
1978. Set in a hospital room, the action revolves around Ken Harrison, a
sculptor by profession, who was paralysed from the neck down in a car accident
and is determined to be allowed to die. Clark presents arguments both in favour
of and opposing euthanasia and to what extent government should be allowed to
interfere in the life of a private citizen. In portraying Ken as an intelligent
man with a useless body, he leaves us with conflicting feelings about his
desire to end his life.
It won the
Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play.
This production is supported by Wycombe District
Council. |

Our May
2019 production will be...
Much
Ado About Nothing
By William Shakespeare
An open-air production
presented at Pipers Corner School
on 16, 17, 18, (2 performances), and 22, 23, 24, 25, May
2019. |
|
Much Ado About Nothing is
Shakespeare's most frequently performed comedy; packed with intrigue, double
crossing, traditional gulling, scintillating wit and with plenty of laughter,
it is the perfect introduction to Shakespeare.
It is one of his later plays and as such audiences will recognise
situations and sub-plots to be found elsewhere in his work. Its themes also
foreshadow some of those in the great tragedies, in particular concepts of
honour and deception, jealousy and its consequences, love gained and love lost.
The two central characters, Beatrice and Benedick have delighted audiences with
their verbal sparring since the play was first performed, indeed on more than a
few occasions the play was simply titled 'Beatrice and Benedick'. But to
lighten the mix there is also sparkling dialogue and earthy humour and in the
end the darkness of near tragedy is averted and the play ends in dancing and
laughter.
