Lady Godiva
Friday, June 22 sees the opening night of the Crookwell Amateur Dramatic Society’s 2018 production of ‘Lady Godiva’. With a short season of five performances only, including one matinee on Sunday, June 24, Lady Godiva will be a winter-warmer full of slapstick tongue-in-cheek humour.
Judith Prior’s theatre restaurant scripts have seen a regular airing on the stage of the Crookwell Memorial Hall in between CADS’ hugely popular music hall variety shows.
Anne Cleary and her right-hand "Jill-of-all-trades" Rhonda Cummins, are directing this year’s production.
This year’s production of Lady Godiva was chosen because it had the right ingredients of bawdy humour, distorted history and musical moments to warm the cockles as Crookwell plunges into winter.
A simple set, minimal props, and costumes as creative as the imagination requires, made the choice a no-brainer.
Mrs Helen Campbell, also a stalwart of the CADS Music Halls, will be accompanying the cast members on piano when the very occasional burst of song is required to enhance the comic storyline!
An ensemble cast of nine, as opposed to a music hall cast of 30, has made rehearsal time more streamlined this year. A six weeks rehearsal period consisting of three nights a week has meant a big commitment by the ;actors’. CADS prides itself on plucking every day ordinary local people out of their daily routines and transforming them into polished entertainers.
Does CADS production of Lady Godiva stay true to the legend of her famous ride naked through the streets of Coventry to force her husband Lord Leofric to lower the taxes on the peasants? Or are some of the events and characters figments of the playwright’s warped imagination? These are the questions that will be answered by coming along to the show.
So on a chilly Crookwell winter night/afternoon, treat yourselves to an entertaining show of Lady Godiva in the well heated Memorial Hall.
