The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society Murder Mystery
Walter Zerlin Jnr
They Came From Mars And Landed Outside The Farndale Avenue Church
by David Mcgillivray, Walter Zerlin, Walter Zerlin Jr.
Synopsis
The Farndale Avenue ladies attempt lift off with their Dramatic Society's unique production of a sci-fi thriller.
Needless to say, high-tech effects going awry and the limited talents of some group members ensure that the cast remains firmly on the ground some more than others.
As ever, the resourceful Mrs. Reece brilliantly circumnavigates pitfalls as she steers the company into orbit and through space to genteel tea on Mars, where the nail biting action is interrupted to present the Flower Arranging Award.
The tear-jerking culmination has hysterical audiences on the edges of their seats."Superb, minutely observed spoof with some hilarious set pieces."
- The Guardian"'Hilarious' cried the blurbs; 'I laughed till I cried.' I did."
- Guernsey Evening Press"Some marvelous, almost surrealist moments."
