Event Description
Worcester’s Swan Theatre Amateur Company presents a double bill: Last Tango in Little Grimley & The Fat Lady Sings in Little Grimley, written by David Tristram and directed by Jason Moseley.
Join us to follow the hilarious exploits of the Little Grimley Amateur Dramatics Society.
Last Tango in Little Grimley – Little Grimley Amateur Dramatic Society is in trouble. The membership has dropped to four – the audiences aren’t much bigger – and if they don’t come up with some rent money soon, they’re going to be thrown out. “There’s only one thing that sells tickets these days,” argues Gordon the Chairman: “Sex!” Thus begins the chaotic and hilarious build-up to an evening of extraordinary home-grown drama – an evening the locals would never forget!
The Fat Lady Sings in Little Grimley – Gordon, Margaret, Joyce and Bernard tackle yet another threat to their survival, this time in the form of a rival am-dram, newly-formed in their village, determined to upstage them with an award-winning musical. The querulous quartet pull together to devise an ingenious military-style plan that doesn’t go quite as intended. When their subterfuge is uncovered by the rival group’s psychopathic front-of-house manager, he’s none too pleased. Add a few emotional complications for Gordon, and things look a little grim for Little Grimley. Could this finally be the end of their society?
