Review by Thespis
Netherbury Drama Group lived up to the promise of its earlier first production when it staged not two but three one-act plays in the Village Hall on Saturday 25 June.
The evening opened with an enigmatic dialogue by Harold Pinter, titled “Victoria Station”, between the controller of a taxi company and his disconnected driver. Our curiosity mounted and the ending left us with an unresolved mystery – a classic cliff hanger!
“A Matter of Husbands” was the second play and was set in the dressing room of a famous actress who coyly evaded the accusations of a jealous wife. This witty and skilfully acted piece of titillating theatre brought the first half of the evening to a close.
After the interval the mood changed and we were treated to “Housekeeper Wanted”, a brilliantly acted comedy involving several intriguing encounters between a husband and four lady applicants, all of whom had the audience rocking in their seats.
If a variety of skilfully acted productions and creative set design is the key to am-dram success, the Netherbury Drama Group is assured of an enthusiastic following.
