\"OAPFLast night we began with My Middle Name is Angry<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>by Ashley Nader, a seemingly very light and vacuous play but with a serious message none the less. Next we were offered a monologue in effect, Waiting<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0from Richard Harris’s Visiting Hours<\/em><\/strong>, poignant and beautifully written. The final play The Janna Years<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0by Gillian Plowman sees well drawn characters attempting to resolve their problems.<\/p>\n

Robert Meadows (GoDA Adjudicator<\/a>) presented\u00a0a creative, constructive and illuminating adjudication on each of the three plays. He gave us his expert opinion of the set designs, actors’ performances and the directors’ interpretations as well as background to the plays. In all, an excellent end to the evening’s entertainment.<\/p>\n

Tonight we open with Terry Adlam\u2019s Make Up<\/em><\/strong>, the characters wiping off their greasepaint with acerbic reflections.\u00a0Next Steve Harper’s Lions and Donkeys<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0will give our audience a different slant on battle relationships. Finally Strictly Sex Factor on Ice<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0by David Tristram will surely provide a few laughs.<\/p>\n
