February 6 OUR NODA GROUP 2011
An evening on what they
learned at summer school.
February 13 THE WEEKEND by Michael Palin a play reading
Faced with a family gathering, world-weary Stephen does his best to be difficult.
When his daughter & her dreary husband, Alan, their precocious teenager
daughter &, not least, the dog, come to stay for the weekend, it's enough
to make him reach for the whiskey & for the sarcasm. The climax arrives
on Saturday night when his patient wife, Virginia, lays on a dinner party & the
chiropodist comes too. In his first play, The weekend, Michael Palin takes
a look at family values, which is not only very funny, but also has its darker
side.
February 20 FESTEN by David Eldridge a play reading
Helga is 60. It is a time of celebration. A time for the family to gather & smoothe
over the cracks left by the suicide of Linda, twin sister to Christian. As
Helga's son, Christian will raise the first toast. Confined within the family
house, the guests are rocked by the revelations that pierce & destroy the
veneer of middle-class respectability.
"A play which may shock & not for the faint-hearted, one which may
expose an audience to a theatrical world they are not familiar with." MYSTERIOUS!
February 27 BUTTERFLIES ARE FREE By Leonard Gershe a play
reading
Young Don Baker, hero of his mother's children's book series, "Donny Dark" has
been blind since birth, his over-protective mother following his every move.
Don finally decides to take his own apartment in Manhatten & pursue his
songwriting ambitions. When she meets his kooky neighbour, sexy actress Jill,
Mrs. Baker's controlling instincts go into overdrive with hilariously touching
results.
