Henley/Wallingford/Shinfield Drama Festival Entry

Alarms and Excursions

 by Michael Frayne

We entered three Drama Festivals this year, with the witty Immobiles by Michael Frayne and I must say, I feel I have lived with it forever. 

We had a disappointing result at Henley, mainly due to the exploding answer machine being disallowed. However, at Wallingford we won the Adjudicators Prize - his comment was that the memory of the answer machine exploding would abide with him for a very long time! At Shinfield we won the Ada Cook Shield for Best in Adult Class and the Shinfield Players Theatre Award for the Overall Festival Winner. We were also nominated for Best Stage Set, Best Director and Best Actor (Richard Evans)so we were justly rewarded for all the hard work that went into the production. 

My grateful thanks to Derek Gilbert and Laurie Anness for mastering the most complicated lighting & sound plots ever! Also to Dan Powell and Jackie Snellgrove for their efficiency as Stage Manager and Assistant . A great BIG thank you to the cast for being so brilliant, John Huntley for being a general dogs body and all of you who supported us.    Julie H.
