Theatre in the Fylde

To all those not familiar with the excitement of dodgy scenery, or mobiles going off during the first act of a Victorian drama, or the sound of icicles dropping from the audience as you sit through a winter’s performance of South Pacific, the live theatre is about and in Lytham- although the Council is desperate to close their last remaining venue and turn it into an asylum to replace Sangat.

From the 11^th November 2009 until the 14^th November 2009 the Anonymous Players – that’s all I can say about them as MI51/2 have clamped a non-disclosure notice on me under the unofficial secrets pact - will be presenting Beyond Reasonable Doubt written by some corrupt former Conservative politician. This masterpeace will be under the Directorship of the well unknown thespian Ian Rowe, recently replaced from traffic duty on the corner of Waterloo and Lytham roads by a roundabout. His last great celluloid adventure was in the Greatly Misunderstood epic comedy of Funny Bones where he cracked the whip alongside Oliver Read, whose entire part was abandoned to the cutting room floor. Some say that the only saving grace for that film was the magical part played by Bill Crawford as a tearaway policeman, much in the line of the Queystoned Cops; little be it known that William was probably an original.
