by David McGillivray and Walter Zerlin Jnr
Directed by Sharon Huxley
We performed the rip-roaring
comedy They Came From Mars and Landed Outside the Farndale Avenue Church
Hall in Time for the Townswomen's Guild's Coffee Morning by David
McGillivray & Walter Zerlin Jnr. at St.
Paul's Church Hall, Colwyn Bay on 27th and 28th October 2006.
The Farndale Avenue ladies attempt lift-off with
their Dramatic Society's unique production of this sci-fi thriller. But,
needless to say, high-tech effects (that have some reassuringly homely touches)
coupled with the inability of certain members of the group, ensure that the
cast remain firmly on the ground. As ever, the resourceful Mrs Reece
brilliantly circumnavigates the pitfalls as she steers the company through a
somewhat busy vicarage set, into orbit, through space to genteel tea on Mars
where the nail-biting action is interrupted to present the Flower Arranging
Award, before culminating in the tear-jerking ending that had the
hysterical audience on the edge of their seats.
