The Village Players Present

Lady of Letters

Written by Alan Bennett for his 'Talking Heads' TV series, this moving monologue reflects
his wry observational style, mixing humour with pathos. Miss Ruddock is an avid letter writer
... but sometimes her instincts lead her astray.

'Bennett's genius is for the imploding situation' The New Yorker

Cast: Chrissie Cropper

The Real Inspector Hound

Tom Stoppard's timeless one-act play is a witty parody of the perennial murder mystery
genre. Two critics watch and comment on a play into which they become irresistibly drawn,
leading to a baffling and utterly absurd denouement fully worthy of the genre.
What's real and what's imaginary in this madcap hall of mirrors?

'Stoppard's play is a ... comic masterpiece' Guardian

'A delicious spoof of a third-rate country-house thriller' Daily Telegraph

Cast: John Campbell, Emma Wallis, John McCarroll, Jenny Smith, Justin Dowding,
Carl Duffy, Lester Pearse, Jacqueline Grant, Christopher Hunt

Don't miss a rattling good evening's entertainment ...
you'll be amused, moved and confused!
