Bottisham Players Autumn Production 2004

Cold Autumn nights often mean that we want to sit in front of a cosy open fire with thoughts of Spring (and Spring cleaning)! Call in your local chimney sweep - but do so at your peril - who knows what he might find up the chimney!!

Our Autumn production, Brush with a Body by Maurice McLoughlin (in association with Samuel French) will make you think and make you laugh! The play involves a wily chimney sweep, a house-keeper with a large problem that needs sorting out, a Mother who knows more than she is letting on, together with her two unsuspecting daughters and her son, who, being a psychiatrist, has more than enough problems of his own!! There are, of course, other characters coming and going throughout the play, which hopefully will enhance your amusement.

How can all this make you laugh you may ask yourselves? Well the only way to is to come along and find out. We will be performing in the Bottisham Village College Main Hall Thursday, Friday and Saturday 7th, 8th and 9th October at 7.30 p.m. Ticket prices will be £6.00 with concessions at £4.00 on Thursday and £6.00 only (no concessions) on Friday and Saturday.

Behind the "cameras" this time around will be Sue Tennant, making her directoriai debut, quite fitting, as this October will mark the tenth anniversary of her membership with the "Players".

The setting will be in the form of a cabaret evening, small tables of 6-8 people, far more informal and hopefully, more fun. Therefore we would ask you to please bring your own drinks and glasses. "Nibbles" will be provided.

Tickets can be purchased personally from mid-September from Lushers Newsagents in Bottisham and via our own telephone booking line 01223 812779 (not Lushers).

Tickets must be paid for prior to production. Tickets will be available at the door subject to availability. Please book early to avoid disappointment, as numbers will be limited.
