Congratulations to Cast & Crew of "The Memory Of Water"

"Word inadequate to praise your production"

High praise indeed! Congratulations to all those involved in "The Memory Of Water", a play fantastically received by all those present. Here are a few memorable snaps from the production:

"We're sorting Mum's clothes"    

 "Do you think we're sick?"

"...and I walk in on this, Pan's bloody people!"

"Ready!"

"You've no patience with me! And I had years of patience with you!"

"No, no, I'm fine, don't mind me"

"Get off me leg Catherine..."

"It's ok, you're family."

"Exactly!"

"Whoops, nearly said cheers..."

Well done to all those involved. It was a fantastic production, and well worth the wait.

Now, we must move on to the next production! Tomorrow night at Codsall Village Hall, we will be auditioning for "Puss In Boots" for our annual festive play. Hope to see lots of you there!

Crowns and military uniforms, so much to see!

If you didn't have a smile on your face, you'd be crying.

People in amateur theatre will try on anything!

What did I just say?

I rest my case...

When will it all end? Oh, this is the last picture? Ok then...

It was a tough job, but we got there! Many thanks to all those members who helped us out, without volunteers, amateur theatre would be dead, and the world would be just that little bit darker...

Codsall Dramatic Society Presents The Memory of Water By Shelagh Stephenson

Codsall Dramatic Society

Presents

The Memory of Water

By Shelagh Stephenson

A strange title but an amazing and funny play, winner of the 2000 Laurence Olivier Award for Best Comedy.  Three sisters are brought together after the death of their Mother to sort through her possessions, prepare for her funeral and to share their childhood memories, but their memories aren’t exactly the same or as happy as their mother might have thought.

Join Codsall Dramatic Society (NODA Award winners for Best Production 2012) for a provocative yet comical evening as we return to the work of Shelagh Stephenson, whose play Experiment with an Air Pump we performed in 2009.  Once again Stephenson captures a moment of high drama and injects it with a dose of comedy and wild abandonment. As the daughters get intoxicated with drugs and booze so the bickering grows and middle daughter Mary can’t stop dreaming of her mother Vi at her age, a vision in green Taffeta.  How will they all cope with the hangover the next morning and the secrets unearthed the night before?

Weds 25th – Fri 27th September 7:30pm tickets £7.50, Sat 28th September 2:30pm (Matinee only) tickets £6.50 at Codsall Village Hall.  

Not suitable for those under the age of 16 years.

Tickets available from Knit & Stitch, Codsall and Ian Rigby Jewellers, Birches Bridge, call our Box Office 07792784908, or reserve online at www.codsalldramaticsociety.co.uk.
