"Ladykillers"

Theatre outing

"Ladykillers", with Michelle Dotrice as dotty old Mrs Wilberforce, was a great evening's entertainment.  15 Bridgnorth Players went on Friday and came out of the auditorium beaming.  It takes some skill to transfer a well loved Ealing comedy film to the stage, but it was cleverly done.  The set was hugely imaginative and the car chase after the bank robbery had a child like appeal.  If I had one tiny little quibble it was that the bumping off of each of the criminals was a bit too Marx Brother-ish, but that aside, the characters were well drawn and wonderfully acted.  Lovely little magic touches too; I was left on a couple of occasions wondering "How did they do that?"

More theatre visits
I'll bring a list of suggestions to tomorrow's meeting.  There is plenty going on at The Grand, Wolverhampton, The Rose, Kidderminster and local am dram groups.  We are spoiled for choice!
