Farndale Ave… Production of a Christmas Carol
In festive mood, the Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen’s Guild Dramatic Society mounted another assault on the classics with their stage version of A Christmas Carol. With great enthusiasm, the cast present a dizzy array of characters from the favourite Dickensian (and some which aren’t) under the ever-battling leadership of Thelma and Mrs Reece.
Throughout the play, Mrs Reece engineers some novel audience participation while bravely contending with a chatty-intrusive PA system.

Season: 10 – 19 November.
