Our next play is
"The Vigil" by Ladislas Fodor directed by Robin Thwaytes
will be performed on 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th of April 2010 at Alphington Primary School

Following closely on from our last production we now offer you a tense Courtroom drama in the guise of The Vigil by Ladislas Fodor which is being directed for us by Robin Thwaytes. Performances will be, once again, at Alphington Primary School on the 6th - 9th April. There is ‘on road’ parking, space in the School grounds and the ‘A’ bus stops just up the road! The story takes place in a Courtroom and is a gripping drama based on the Easter story as, in the dock, stands a Gardener accused of stealing the body of Jesus of Nazareth. Witnesses called include Pontius Pilate, Mary Magdalene and the soldier who guarded the tomb. As each give their evidence using humour, science or religious conviction you’ll imagine yourself in a real courtroom. Watch the story unfold as Counsels for Prosecution and Defence do battle to gain the agreement of the Jury and win the day. This is a compelling drama that even Kavanagh QC would be proud of.
