 2013-2014 Season:

Pools Paradise by Philip King

October 17-20 , 23-26, 2013

WEST END STUDIO THEATRE

Zany, mad-cap events transpire at the Reverend Lionel Toop's vicarage in Merton-cum-Middlewick. The plot revolves around Lionel's wife, Penelope, who dabbles in a football pool with the help of their maid Ida, and Ida's suitor, the droll Willie Briggs. The most fantastic complications ensue when the triumvirate wins- or when they think they have won more than 20,000 pounds. Lending richly comic hands are the old-maid parishioner, Miss Skillen, and Penelope's out-of-this-world uncle, The Bishop of Lax. What happens when these assorted characters all get together on one stage has to be seen to be believed.

Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw

November 14-17, 20-23, 2013

THE OAKVILLE PLAYERS

Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion is based on the classic Greek myth of a sculptor who creates the perfect woman. This classic play also serves as the basis for the hugely successful musical My Fair Lady.  The snobbish and intellectual Professor Henry Higgins makes a bet that he can take the Cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, from the gutters and pass her off as a society lady. The end result is a very ladylike Miss Doolittle and the lessons learned are a bit more far-reaching. As the Professor discovers, his pupil has ideas of her own.

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie

February 6-9, 12-15, 2014

WEST END STUDIO THEATRE

In this superlative mystery, statuettes of little soldier boys on the mantel in a house on an island off the coast of Devon fall to the floor and break one by one as those in the house succumb to a diabolical avenger. A nursery rhyme tells how each of the ten "soldiers" met his death - until there were none. Eight guests, who have never met each other or their apparently absent host and hostess, are lured to the island and along with the two house servants, marooned. A mysterious voice accuses each of having gotten away with murder and then one drops dead - poisoned. One down and nine to go!
