Townswomen’s Guild Dramatic Society

We are, I believe, unique among Townswomen’s Guilds in having our very own Dramatic Society.  We have staged many productions over the years and have never been afraid to set ourselves steep challenges.  We tread the boards other societies fear to tread!  Find out more by clicking on ‘Previous Productions’.

 

You may like to know that we are currently in rehearsal for our latest extravaganza entitled MURDER AT CHECKMATE MANOR by David McGillivray and Walter Zerlin Jnr.  It is quite good really and shows that dear old Agatha Christie should have stuck to writing books as it’s much better than The Mousetrap.  We have, as is customary, added a few touches of our own to improve the script a bit and, because it’s a tad short, we are going to incorporate our annual fashion show into the proceedings!  You can get all the details by clicking on the words ‘Our Next Production’.

 

We’d like to thank the author, David McGillivray, for his very generous help and assistance with this production.  He’s actually been in showbiz for quite a long time and has been an actor, director, producer, screenwriter and film critic.  Fancy that.  Don’t you just hate people with that much talent?  I know I do.  Anyway, if you’d like to know what he used to get up to, you can find out by clicking HERE.  And if you want to know what he’s getting up to now, you can click HERE.  Or, if you’ve come here by accident looking for information on David McGillivray the ice skater (no, I’ve not heard of him either, but then he’s not from this country), you should click HERE.

 

If your computer’s    volume is switched on, you can hear an    original composition on each page by Mrs Gwyneth Gilhooley, our resident conductor and musical director!
