Having had the privilege of producing Michael Palin’s Weekend last year I am very happy to return to direct the Players in another highly entertaining play.

Imagine the potential chaos which might ensue if the Village Hall was over-booked one evening, by not just one, but for several disparate groups of people – all expecting to use the hall for their chosen activity – whether it be badminton, table tennis, panto rehearsal or the visiting speaker with slide show.

This the setting for Peter Gordon’s hilarious comedy about village life and the woes which beset the highly strung vicar’s wife, whose responsibility it is to make the bookings and be of general help and support to her husband Donald. This play will have you spotting local characters and familiar situations, but while the fun is thick and fast, no one is really hurt by all the machinations and indeed some come off rather well.

You will be alternately bemused, entertained and appalled by the behaviour of ordinary folk when put under pressure and you can be assured of a really fun night out with the members of this archetypal village community.
