... or alternatively, come along to the Barcombe Players astonishing production of 'Hay Fever' this week. Twenties clothes! Cigarette holders! Witty repartee! And that's just the audience.
Thursday 11th, Friday 12th and Saturday 13th October in Barcombe Village Hall from 7.45pm.
Tickets from the village shop or on the door are fiver for adults, 3 quid for kids and senior citizen discount on Thursday night (can't remember but think the discounted ticket price is 3 quid also).

Cigarette holders? I doubt that lit cigarettes shall adorn them.

Ah ha! We've got cunningly convincing pretend ciggies that puff smoke. No expense spared in the search for authenticity in Barcombe

Is the play suitable for children?

It certainly sounds suitable for children - they have pretend puffing ciggies! Mind you, I suppose children want the real thing!!!

Well as long as these are children old enough to stay up till 10pm, then yes, definitely it's fine for kids. There's no swearing and no sex (only a little bit of flirting and kissing), so actually on second thoughts perhaps kids won't be interested in it...! It is very funny with lots of misunderstandings etc. Basically a terrible family all invite guests for the weekend and then behave outrageously.

Any songs? - I like a good band - having said that I might just wait for the DVD, unless there's a bar?...

The Royal Oak's just over the road for interval drinks (or drinks throughout the second act if you don't like the first one)

you rat!! you've just bust my attempt to have the last entry on EVERY thread on the forum - oh no you haven't - I must say you're making the theatrics sound more appealing by the minute...

Sorry, couldn't resist doing it again lopster. But last one tonight, so if you leave another one I won't be able to trump it.
Well what else can I tell you to convince you to attend 'Hay Fever'?
1. You can count how many prompts we take (suggest bringing a calculator or mathematically minded friend to make this easier)
2. You get a free cuppa tea and biccie in the interval if you can't be bothered to go the pub
3. You can see me swanning about in nice beaded black 1920s frock delivering lines such as 'This haddock's disgusting' (as long as I don't forget the line, obviously)
All for a fiver! It's got to be a bargain.

Just to say that I went to this last night with my 13 year old and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. A really good entertaining evening, well done Barcombe Players!
