Our March play reading, ‘The Lady in the Van’, by Alan Bennett, proved a memorable choice. With convenor Keith on holiday, class member Jenny Sawyer stepped in, preparing a list of thoughtfully allocated roles and providing an encouraging environment for members to enjoy the play. Not only was the play touching, thought provoking and life affirming, it also proved timely, with the recently released film starring Maggie Smith as the singular Miss Shepherd, to be screened at Benalla’s BPACC in late March/early April and almost certainly on an upcoming Swanpool Cinema program.
There will be a Friends of the Benalla Library fundraiser at BPACC on Sunday 5th April, with afternoon tea at 3.45 and the screening of ‘the Lady in the Van’ at 4.30 pm. Tickets are available for $20 at the RedB4 bookshop, BPACC or at the Library.
Our April play reading is ‘An Ideal Husband’ by Oscar Wilde. Keith will be back at the helm as director of this beautifully written play by one of his favourite playwrights. Thank you, Jenny, for filling in for Keith in March – think of us in April if you visit the London street in which Miss Shepherd parked her van outside Alan Bennett’s home for so many years!
