"A Chorus of Disapproval" tells the story of a
widower's attempts to escape from his loneliness by joining a local amateur
operatic society. By accident, rather than design, he advances from a one-line
part to the lead. As the play progresses the action draws parallels between
John Gay's "The Beggar's Opera" and the day to day activities of the Society
who are performing it. This production starred LP regulars Danny Spurrier as
the shambling madcap producer, Dafydd and Peter Francis as the lonely widower,
Guy. There was plenty of able support from Jane Torr, Jane Brydges, Matt
Stanley and Denise Hobbs and was directed by Chris Horton with musical
direction from Brian Archer. A Chorus of Disapproval is described as
symmetrically shaped, psychologically acute and painfully, heartbreakingly
funny.
Director: Chris Horton

Reviews from the audience:
"I am writing to say
how much my wife and I enjoyed the drama group’s performance of ACOD in
the Village Hall on Thursday evening. I am involved in am-dram but I’ve
never seen an amateur group as lively and word-perfect as yours was on
Thursday. Please pass on my sincere congratulations to all concerned.
We’re certain to come to the next production. I hope you managed to raise
a good amount of money through the performances. Once again, thank you to
everyone for a brilliant evening’s entertainment."
"Thanks for a
lovely evening. Well Done."
