School

A whole new meaning to ‘The Swinging
Sixties’ |
|
What does the second best hangman do
on the day they’ve abolished hanging? How will he cope with NOT being
regarded as the best hangman in England? What will he do when a stranger lurks
in his pub, putting doubt on the last hanging that he performed?
Fourways is proud to be presenting the
best new play award winning black comedy ‘Hangmen’, a cracking comic
thriller, by Martin McDonagh, author of ‘In Bruges’ and the Oscar
winning ‘Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri’.
Perhaps the most line-by-line funny
play seen in years... Daily Telegraph

February 2020 production will be...
The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen’s Guild Dramatic
Society’s Production of Macbeth
By David
McGillivray & Walter Zerlin jnr
The
Lancaster Arts Centre, Wycombe Abbey School
Thursday 20th, Friday 21st and Saturday 22nd February 2020 at
8.00pm
A hilarious comedy
with only a passing nod to Shakespeare's masterpiece! |
|
The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate
Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society ladies mount an assault on the classic
tragedy Macbeth. Their production - original in the extreme - should guarantee
them a place in the drama finals in Welwyn Garden City after 9 months of
painstaking rehearsals. The intrepid ladies unique blend of misplaced
enthusiasm, ego, inappropriate casting, and bad acting ensure that what can go
wrong does go wrong, and results in a series of hilarious mistakes from
beginning to end.
Farndale... Macbeth
was first presented in1976 at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe where it was an
award-winning sell-out, later touring the country to similar acclaim for the
next year. It was presented again at the Fringe in 1983.
Supported by Wycombe District
Council.

own, she steps out to explore a new land. So begins a whirlwind of mistaken
identity and unrequited love.
