Synopsis
Last Panto in Little Grimley is a hilarious one-act play, following the attempt of Gordon, Margaret, Joyce and Bernard to save their failing drama society, by writing and staging a panto.
With only four members, questionable talent and no budget, they attempt to produce a show that descends into chaos.
The result is a laugh- out- loud comedy, full of mayhem and wit as they try not to slip up on another of Bernard’s banana skins!!!!
Karen is looking for a mature cast to play the following characters:
Gordon: The long-suffering frustrated chairman who writes the scripts, directs, acts and tries to organise the other members to keep the society going.
Margaret: A teacher who gets her students to help make the society’s costumes.
She is the society’s diva and will only be in the shows if she plays the leading role. She is very critical of Gordon’s ideas and has many verbal run ins with Bernard.
Joyce: A librarian by trade she does the society’s accounts and minutes of the meetings. She is not very quick or bright but has enthusiasm. She always wants to do a musical but can’t sing or act!!!
Bernard: A very laid back tradesman who builds the sets and is the society’s technician. He enjoys making snide comments to Margaret.
