Upcoming Productions

 

P&P Players present “Stepping Out”
by Richard Harris

From 29th March to 31st March 2012

At The Barrington Theatre,
Penny’s Walk, Ferndown, Dorset, BH22 9TH

“Stepping Out” is a warm and funny play about the lives, laughs and
loves of a group of women (and one man) attending a weekly tap-dancing
class in a dingy North London church hall.  Each of the eight
students has a different reason for being there, and between the
laughs, squabbles and misunderstandings, we catch poignant glimpses of
their problems and insecurities.  Encouraged by ex-professional
dancer Mavis and her acerbic pianist Mrs Fraser, the students range
from hopeless to barely competent – until they are invited to perform
at a charity Gala.  Can they tap their troubles away, raise their
game and do themselves justice in their first public performance?

P&P Present
“A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the Forum”
by Steven Sondheim

From 12th June to 16th June 2012
At The Barrington Theatre, Penny’s Walk, Ferndown, Dorset, BH22 9TH

“Something for everyone, a comedy tonight” ….Stephen Sondheim’s opening
lyric sets the tone for Broadway’s greatest farce.  Light,
fast-paced, witty, irreverent and one of the funniest musicals ever
written.  The hilarious book is by Burt Shevelove and Larry
Gelbart (creators of the “M*A*S*H” TV series) who take comedy back to
its roots, combining situations from time-tested, 200 year old bawdy
comedies of Roman playwright Plautus with the infectious energy of
classic vaudeville.  The result is a non-stop laugh-fest in which
a crafty slave (Pseudolus) struggles to win the hand of a beautiful but
slow-witted courtesan (Philia) for his naïve young master (Hero), in
exchange for freedom.

The show premiered on Broadway in 1962 and went on to win the Tony
award for Best Musical and Best Book of a Musical.
