Farndale Avenue. HETGDS's Christmas Carol

In a festive mood, the ladies of the Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society mount another assault on the classics with their stage version of A Christmas Carol. They enthusiastically portray a dizzy array of characters from the Dickensian favorite (and a few which aren't), engineer some novel audience participation while bravely contending with an intrusive PA system and a real Farndale first - rap their vocal cords and feet around two original, show stopping songs.

The Effect

The Effect is a clinical romance. Two young volunteers, Tristan and Connie agree to take part in a clinical drug trial. Succumbing to the gravitational pull of attraction and love, however, Tristan and Connie manage to throw the trial off-course, much to the frustration of the clinicians involved. This funny, moving and perhaps surprisingly human play explores questions of sanity, neurology and the limits of medicine, alongside ideas of fate, loyalty and the inevitability of physical attraction.

The Importance of Being Earnest

A trivial comedy for serious people. First performed on 14th February 1895 at the St James's Theatre in London, it is a farcical comedy in which the protagonists maintain fictitious personae to escape burdensome social obligations.

Shadowlands

This West End and Broadway hit is the love story of C.S. Lewis - Oxford don and author of 'The Chronicles of Narnia' and 'The Screwtape Letters' and American poet Joy Davidman. Jack Lewis is smug in his convictions about God and his plan for the world until Joy and her young son enter his life and the bewildered theoretician of love in the abstract finally confronts its direct presence

The Hound of the Baskervilles

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most celebrated Sherlock Holmes story gets a gloriously funny makeover. When Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead on his estate, with a look of terror still etched on his face, and the paw prints of a gigantic hound beside his body, the great detective Sherlock Holmes is summoned from Baker Street, with Dr Watson in tow, to unravel the mysteries surrounding his death, and investigate the ancient curse of the Hound of the Baskervilles.... Packed full of the verbal and visual ingenuity that hit comedy team Peepolykus is known for, and offering abundant opportunities for silly comedy and slapstick, this version is a sublimely funny adaptation of a classic tale.
