Our Next Production...

'A Chorus Of Disapproval' by Alan Ayckbourn

First produced at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough in 1984, the action takes place over a period of four months (February to May), between the first rehearsal and the opening night of Pendon Amateur Operatic Society ‘s (PALOS) production of John Gay’s “The Beggar’s Opera” .

Guy, young and recently widowed, tries to escape his loneliness by joining PALOS. He’s incapable of saying “no” to anything - whether it’s a request for confidential business information or an offer of illicit sex. Through a series of accidents and actor tantrums he advances from a one line part to playing the lead. The nearer they get to opening night, the closer events in the cast’s off-stage lives mirror situations in the twisted relationships of their onstage characters

Casting as follows...
Guy Jones - Ian Reed Dafydd - Jonathan Shawcross
Hannah - Sinead McGregor     Crispin Usher - Robert May
Bridget Baines - Jan Edwards Ian Hubbard - Dominic Norton
Fay Hubbard - Julie Hall   Ted Washbrook - Joe Riches

Another Hugely Successful Production

'The Lady in the Van' by Alan Bennett

With a full audience every night and ending with rapturous applause I think we can safely say our production of Alan Bennett's 'The Lady in the Van' was a success!

Thank you to all who came to watch and supported us throughout the rehearsal period. We couldn't do it without you.

Each year APTG choose a charity to donate to and support.

This year we are over the moon to be supporting our local branch of the Samaritans in Amersham.
