Event Description
Travel back in time to 1948 and join the Colwall Players as they recreate two of the original BBC radio plays by Anthony Buckeridge all about Jennings and Darbishire and their chums at Linbury Court Preparatory School.
How will new boy Jennings avoid a bashing up from Temple and how can Darbishire disguising himself as Edward G Robinson possibly help? How could a missing glove lead to a search party tramping across the Sussex Downs for someone who isn’t really missing? And does Mr Wilkins really hand out 150 million lines
to any boy who hasn’t done his Latin prep?
All this and more will be revealed as we take you into our BBC recording studio and the wonderful world of Jennings.
As if that isn’t enough we’re going to give you a genuine school dinner to keep you going in between the two plays. It’ll be wizard muck, we promise. (And don’t tell Mr Carter but we’ll even have a bar!)
So come along for an Evening with Jennings – frantic bishes and super-rare wheezes guaranteed.
