NEXT PRODUCTION - A Chorus of Disapproval

Director - Suzanne Hall

Musical Director - Peter Theobald

​

To be performed at The Theatre Royal, Winchester

Wednesday 10th - Saturday 13th November 2021

​

Featuring Rob Preston (Pirate King, The Pirates of Penzance), Katie Hickson ( Lina Lamont, Singin' in the Rain), Adrian Hickford (Sweeney Todd, Sweeney Todd), Annie Tatnall (Mabel, The Pirates of Penzance) with a full singing and dancing ensemble cast with a live band.

​

The Pendon Amateur Light Operatic Society are rehearsing The Beggars Opera but they keep losing cast members to injury, arguments and double dealing.

​

Step forward Guy Jones, a widower who has joined the group to get his life back on track. By not saying 'no' to anything, be it a request to obtain confidential information or an offer of illicit sex, he advances from a bit part to the lead role.

​

Will he triumph in the role or will his affairs with two cast members, including the director's wife be his undoing?

​

"Symmetrically shaped, psychologically acute and painfully, heart breakingly funny"
