    The Farcical Comedy, "Surprise Package" by Duncan Greenwood and Derek Parkes, directed by Arline Myers

    The Tinsley's Package holiday proves to be an even greater change from Blackpool than expected. To start with it seems young Ron had persuaded his father to book the same hotel as Gloria, the girl Ron loves despite the disapproval of her mother, who also turns up. Everyone becomes involved in general misunderstandings. Trousers and teeth are lost in awkward circumstances; a storm at sea brings both tensions and floods of water through the roof. Havoc is wrought in the hearts of both Gloria's mother and Alfred's sister-in-law by Herr Grotz; and a final surprise shatters everyone.

  • Season 1: June 2008

    Comedy, "Kindly Keep it Covered" by Dave Freeman, Directed by Fiona Hough.

    Roland Dickerby, formerly of the Kindly Insurance Company, and his wife Julia, run a health farm bought with the proceeds of a hefty insurance payout on the demise of Julia's first husband, the charming rogue Sidney. Life isn't easy for Roland; a healthy lifestyle isn't exactly his cup of carrot juice. His formidable mother in law, Olivia, keeps a very beady eye on him and he is constantly harassed by portly guests maniacally in search of carbohydrates of the sweet variety. But today fate has something special in store for Roland; Sidney has decided to resurrect himself and turns up at the farm, just as Vanessa, the wife of Roland's ex-boss from the Kindly Mutual checks in for a health giving visit, guaranteeing a fast, furious and frantic farce.
