 Current CADS production Our next production will be "Outside Edge" by Richard Harris, which is the CADS contribution to the Royston Arts Festival 2010 in September. The show is being directed by Michael Young and will be performed during the Festival weekend with evening performances on the Friday and Saturday and an additional matinee performance on Saturday afternoon.
"Outside Edge" has long been a popular comedy with drama groups and audiences alike. Set in the world of amateur cricket, it highlights the dramas - both on the field and in the pavilion - that beset team captain Roger and long-suffering wife Miriam as they struggle to win a crucial match while trying to preserve their sometimes fragile marriage, hindered along the way by (among other minor setbacks) injury, jealousy, secrecy and rivalry between the players. Written originally for the stage, it was also successfully converted into a popular television sitcom in the 1980s.
An informal read-through of the play at our July monthly meeting was followed by auditions and I'm glad to say we now have a full cast, which loooks like this:
Roger..........................David Atkins
Miriam...................Bernie Parsons
Kevin................................Ollie West
Maggie..........................Alison Bass
Bob..............................David Quilty
Ginnie..................Nikki Crockford
Alex........................Dan Jinkerson
Sharon..............................Abi Sage
Dennis....................Dermot Byrne
There's a picture of some of them (basically, those who weren't on holiday at the time!) on our home page and, with a bit of luck, we should have some more pictures of them all on the site before too long. Rehearsals have started and continue through the Summer, leading up to performance dates of Friday 24 September and Saturday 25 September.
We are particularly grateful to Martin Hay of Southcourt Properties Ltd who has allowed us to use a vacant office in the town for our rehearsals, following changes at Greneway School which have meant we are unable to rehearse there during the school holidays.
