The cooler weather, COVID, travel, and other commitments saw a small group at our Play Reading this month. The chosen play, ‘Move Over Mrs Markham’, was a challenge, as the smaller number of members often read the parts of two characters. However, this did not detract from the play, it added to the hilarity!
The play was set in the flat belonging to Mr and Mrs Markham, who were to be out for the evening. In their absence several illicit rendezvous were planned at the flat, unbeknown to each couple.
The complications and intricacies that followed when each pair of hopeless lovers converged in the bedroom of the Markhams created chaos, deception and much laughter. Fast exits and arrivals added to the confusion, not just in the play but with the readers!
All agreed it would be a great play on stage, but did not prove as effective when simply read.
As we move into the second half of the year, we are so fortunate to have a variety of live performances available in Benalla and Wangaratta. David Hobson performed at BPACC in June and a monologue, Ned Kelly’s Mother, was held at the historic Benalla Court House last weekend. A fantastic show, “The World of Musicals” will be performed at Wangaratta PAC on July 9th, before its Melbourne season.

Keep warm, keep well and look forward to our next play in July.
