Carlisle Green room presents There Goes The Bride: August 19 – 24
The Carlisle Green Room Club will be presenting another farce for its August production after the presentation of ‘Holiday Snap’ seemed to be so successful at this time of year.
‘There goes the bride’ will run from August 19th until the 24th and is a hilarious farce by those masters of the genre, Ray Cooney and John Chapman.
The young bride and groom involved would much rather have a quiet wedding in a registry office, but mother and father want a big ”do’ with lots of guests, high-class catering and everything that goes with it.
However, when father-of-the-bride gets hit on the head by accident, things go horribly wrong. For one thing, he imagines he can see a young flapper girl from the 1920s – but no one else can see her and things get extremely complicated from then on.
Add a forgetful grandfather, a furious father-of-the-groom, a haughty grandmother and things develop into a fast and furious comedy which will have audiences rolling in the aisles at times.
‘There goes the bride’ will be directed by John Metcalfe who has been involved, either in directing or acting, in most of the plays which the Club has produced by Ray Cooney.
Would-be patrons are advised to book early for this production as many people could not get tickets for our recent presentation of ‘Allo Allo’. Unfortunately, people were turned away and the house full notices were up for each performance…… you have been warned.
Don’t forget, the well stocked and reasonably priced bar is open half an hour before each performance, during the interval and after a show. Coffee and tea are available and ice cream, if you’d like a little snack.
Tickets are available from the Tourist Information Office at the Old Town Hall. Drop in, or phone 01228 598596. Tickets cost £9 for adults and £8 for concessions.
Expect a fantastic night out.
