SUMMARY:Blackadder Goes Forth\, Episode 5&6
DESCRIPTION:Based on the outrageous\, funny\, poignant but highly popular TV series\, the South Canterbury Drama League presents Blackadder Goes Forth\, fittingly 100 years to the month from Armistice Day. \nBlackadder Goes Forth is the perfect opportunity for an end of year social event for everyone.  The dinner and show will be on the stage at The Playspace\, Timaru’s newest performance space\, giving the audience a taste of the limelight as they are entertained while enjoying a delicious 2-course meal. (Vegetarian & Diabetic options available on request). \n\nThe setting is 1917 on the Western Front of the First World War\, with another ‘big push’ planned.  For Captain Edmund Blackadder and his fellow dugout companions Baldrick and George\, the major concern is to avoid being sent over the top to certain death.  Can they continue to escape from Melchett’s disastrous battle plans? \nThe play is a stage adaptation of Richard Curtis and Ben Elton’s award-winning series.  It chronicles Blackadder’s attempts to escape the trenches through various schemes\, most of which fail due to bad fortune\, misunderstandings and the general incompetence of his comrades. \nWe start in General Hospital with General Melchett\, angry that his plans always seem to fall into enemy hands\, asks Captain Blackadder to “winkle out” the spy he suspects is housed in the hospital. Blackadder immediately suspects the patient with the thick German accent and a burning curiosity about troop movements but decides to embark on an extremely thorough\, and more importantly – long\, investigation as a way of staying out of the trenches. \nThen it’s Goodbyee. After years of futile trench warfare\, General Melchett gives the order for the “big push”: a suicidal charge across the battlefield towards hundreds of German machine guns. Desperate to avoid participating\, Captain Blackadder hatches a plan to convince his superiors that he has gone insane and therefore cannot go into combat. \nThe production features the idealistic Upper-Class Edwardian twit Lieutenant George; the profoundly stupid but dogged Private S. Baldrick\, the eccentric and clearly mad General Melchett\, the woman of many faces Nurse Mary\, plus other memorable characters.

SUMMARY:ACB with Honora Lee
DESCRIPTION:Based on the award-winning 2012 junior fiction novel by Kate de Goldi. This was adapted for radio and then for the stage by Jane Waddell. It premiered at Circa in 2016. \nDeceptively simple\, this is a very special and moving story of acceptance\, identity\, kindness\, love and patience\, told with playfulness\, subtle humour and empathy. Each character is important\, even if in a non-speaking role. \nThe focus is the relationship between Perry and Honora Lee. As Honora’s scattered mind loses the facility of recall and command of language\, Perry creates new entries in the alphabet book she is making with the help of the residents of Santa Lucia Rest Home. It is a gift of love for her grandmother. Perry realises that an orderly alphabet is impossible\, hence the title ‘The ACB with Honora Lee’. \nThe concept of family is central to the play. Perry says\, “Family time would be quite a lot better if there was more family.’ Nina and Claude fill part of her need\, and the community at Santa Lucia are a ‘family’. Perry feels comfortable and at home there. Disease and death are treated as a natural part of life. Bees occupy Perry’s imagination and curiosity. They are everywhere\, dead and dying. Like the old people at Santa Lucia\, they are social creatures living in colonies. They lead useful lives (pollinating) and then die. \nAlthough there is sadness in the problems of ageing\, and the tragic nature of mental decline\, this is balanced with the humour that naturally arises from confusion. Because of the sensitive way the story is told\, the play is uplifting and the overwhelming feeling is of warmth and hope. \nThe play has a running time of approx. 75 minutes with no interval.

SUMMARY:Mums Choir
DESCRIPTION:Mum’s Choir\, a heartwarming Kiwi comedy about family\, laughter\, love and music. \nWritten by Alison Quigan\, the story revolves around five adult children who gather at the family home to prepare for their mother’s funeral.\nThe five siblings consist of farmer’s wife Cathy (Alice Sollis)\, bachelor music teacher Noel (John Roxburgh)\,Aussie-based used car salesman Kev (Malcolm Eadie)\, pregnant mother of four Terri (Carolyn Willis)\, and University lecturer Jean (Morag Carter). \nThey are joined by Cathy’s son Matt\,(Nathan Butler) – who rushes back from his Army job in the Solomons\, and mum’s sister\, dear old Aunty Nola (Jude Walker). When the children were growing up the house was always full of music and Mum’s dying wish was for the family to sing Fauré’s Requiem at her funeral. So they have their work cut out to learn their parts in time\, not to mention write the eulogy\, organise the catering\, contact Mum’s friends etc. \nThe family have great fun reminiscing with lots of all their old favourite songs\, such as “Amore”\, “In the Mood”\, “The Good Ship Lollipop”\, “Java Jive” and the beautiful Maori song “Hine E Hine”. However\, it’s not all singing or sadness. There are family secrets to be revealed\, cheeky sibling rivalry\, a few tears along the way\, and loads of witty one-liners. Mum’s Choir is not a musical\, it is a play where the actors naturally burst into song fairly often. This delightful play is bound to be a winner.
