Any chance you could make this your next production @mashibinbin I could see you playing Crusher!!!!

With the depiction of Glenda mark 1 I don't think the Edies would approve...but I certainly would!

 

[Barrychuckle]

I've only read the first few pages but it does look very funny so far!

 

[mashibinbin]

I'm going to savour it 5 pages a night, it's like the film that never was...if only it'd been filmed, thankfully now preserved by a fan of the highest order

Thanks Barrry.

 

[captain clutterbuck]

A wonderful and munificent gesture Barry thank you so so much .

As a matter of interest has anyone read this script yet? If so what were your thoughts?

Yes... all I will say for now is, it is probably funnier on stage than on paper ...

It's a curious mix for sure, whilst the characters are identifiable easily enough with those we've come to love the style, albeit intentionally, is broader than we have come to expect. In the hands of our favourites I have no doubt it would be electric and a show well worth seeing but a more accurate representation of the tv programme, lengthened, would be The Moonbather instead.

I'll have to read The Moonbather when I get time. I suppose you've got to remember that this was an end of pier show probably just cashing in on the success of the series at the time.

How's your production of Blithe Spirit coming along, will hopefully be attending that one too!

 

[mashibinbin]

It will hopefully be confirmed as our play of choice on the 12th, then the process of securing scripts, rights etc can begin.

How exciting, when are you hoping to stage the production?

 

[mashibinbin]

We'll have first readthrough late November so we don't have all the holiday induced absences of last year again and block out in January with hope to perform around April.

In the script it says Glenda and attractive woman with disability.
What's the disability?
