Synopsis:
Originally written for TV, Dennis Potter’s deceptively simple tale relates the activities of seven West-Country seven-year-olds on a summer afternoon during the Second World War, in a wood, a field and a barn.  The children (all played by adult actors) play, fight, fantasize and swagger, their aggressions, fears, hostilities and rivalries a microcosm of adult interaction.  Easy-going Willie tags along as burly Peter bullies gentle Raymond and is challenged by fair-minded John.  Plain Audrey is overshadowed by Angela’s prettiness and wreaks her angry frustrations on the boys.  All of them gang up on the terrified “Donald Duck” who, abused by his mother and ridiculed by his peers, plays his own dangerous game of pyromania which ends in tragedy.

The 51st Woking Drama Festival takes place 6th to 17th October 2009.  The Spelthorne Festival is the week after.

Originally written for TV, the tale relates the activities of 7 West Country 7-year olds on a summer afternoon during WW2. The children (all played by adult actors) play, fight, fantasise and swagger. All of them gang up on the terrified “Donald Duck” who, ridiculed by his peers and abused by his mother plays his own dangerous game of pyromania with tragic consequences.

Much hilarity and silliness until the final twist of this light hearted tale. The read-through will be held on 22nd April at Chobham Scout Hall starting at 7.30pm.  Auditions to follow the next week 29th April, same time, same place!

Many thanks to everyone who auditioned, especially to the ladies who we were unable to cast. You were all great and made our decisions very difficult!

The play starts rehearsals in March and will be on at the Rhoda McGaw theatre in Woking from 27th to 30th May. Tickets are £10 and £8 from the box office on 01932 702091.

The evening will be a double-bill of one-act plays. Alongside Sparkleshark we will see Caught On The Hop, a farce written in 1993, for 3 women and 2 men. The play will be directed by Lisel Slark in her first production for the Players. Readings and auditions will take place in April, so keep your eyes peeled for more information!

A read-through of the play will be held on Monday 5th January, from 7.30pm, at New Haw Community Centre.  Drinks and nibbles will be provided!  So come along for a post-Christmas social.

This will be followed by auditions on Monday 12th January and Thursday 15th January, also at 7.30pm at New Haw CC.

I know that it seems very early, but we’re keen to get the auditions out of the way before Farrago rehearsals start, so that we can get straight into Razzle rehearsals when the Farrago has finished.

An pack with full details of the play, including the pieces we will be using at the audition,  can be downloaded from the following link:  On The Razzle – Audition Park.
