Things have not been going quite to plan!
I apologise that this year's play readings have not been keeping to schedule, I shall try to do better for the rest of the year!
Last month we finally read Kerry Jackson, and I think it's fair to say that we were not entirely enthusiastic about it in our discussion at the end. However, the ECC gave it a much warmer welcome! Perhaps because I gave it such a bad review before we started!
Unfortunately I have messed up with July! And so we will meet the week before, but on the THURSDAY - 29TH JUNE.
Ladies Day
by Amanda Whittington
Life is one long, hard slog for the fish-filleting foursome Pearl, Jan, Shelley and Linda. But their fortunes are set to change when they head to Ladies Day at the races. Factory hairnets make way for fascinators as the four friends hit the races for an unforgettable day out.
Secrets are spilled with the champagne and friendships are tested to the limit. Yet as the day unfolds and tempers fray, their accumulator bet keeps quietly winning. If their luck and their nerve holds, the ladies could could hit the jackpot – and more.
This play is consistently in Nick Hern Book’s Top Ten Most Performed Plays and enjoys hundreds of amateur productions across the UK. It has been produced as a play for Radio 4.
I do hope we like it, not least because I have bought many scripts based on the Nick Hern 2023 list!
