PREFERRED LIES a comic drama written by Arthur Charles
Friday 7th and Saturday 8th MARCH 2025
Barrington Village Hall, Somerset
7 for 7.30pm
Preferred Lies is comedy drama set in a golf club just outside the town of Great Snoring in the county of Somerset. The club has been male only for over a 100 years but now has been forced, by financial necessity, to admit its first two female members.
It is intended that the County Championships will shortly be held on the course, which apart from being a unique honour for the club, will be a great boost to its bank balance. But for this great event to take place the club must prove that it has female members. As a result two women have been allowed to join. This has been met with dismay by a number of the men leading to mass resignations. Little do they realise that other unforeseen events are soon to prove even more disruptive. . .
Our last performance was in March 2024 – AGATHA CRUSTY AND THE MURDER MYSTERY DINNER by Derek Webb
Geoffrey and Caroline Robertson are having a dinner party to celebrate ten successful years of Mighty Midget Vacuum Cleaners, the company he jointly owns with Tim McArthur, and to add spice to the evening they decide to make it a murder mystery dinner … but then life starts to imitate fiction …
Our play in 2023 was a Murder Mystery Play – WHO KILLED THE HEADMASTER?
The audience witnessed a short play in three acts with a break between Acts 1 and 2 to discuss clues with their team over a delicious supper. At the end of Act 2 the teams submitted their ‘Whodunnit’ sheets with their final answers as to who they thought the murderers were. Then, after the final act, Act 3, the culprits were revealed.
Our previous performance was: Out of Focus by Peter Gordon.
This extremely funny full-length play, featured a wonderful mix of local characters from the local community who descended on their Church Hall with ensuing chaos and confusion
