-------------------
I hope you all enjoyed last month's play: Dangerous Corner. I liked the unravelling of the couples'/friends' complicated relationships, and how easily our lives can change direction.
We had a large turn out last month, and so here are a couple of pictures of us! I think we were all present!

Next Month: The Play That Goes Wrong
by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields
I have to confess that I have some concerns about reading this, as it is a farce and a very well-received one in London: it won the 2015 Olivier Award for the Best New Comedy.
The success of the play hangs on its incredibly well-timed accidents and collapsing set, so let's just hope that our imaginations will be able to do justice to the script!
NB: Part of the comedy hangs on word play, so I will try to ensure that native English speakers are given those roles at the appropriate time.
Characters
The action of the play takes place on the set of a production by the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society's production of a murder mystery: Murder at Haversham Manor, written by Susie H. K. Brideswell.
