Double Bill - "Jolly Good Fun" & "A Fine Gentleman"

September 24, 2008 for 5 performances
20:30

A slightly different format to our September production this year but one sure to provide you with plenty of variety. “A Fine Gentleman” is a Scottish comedy set in the seventeen hundreds and “Jolly Good Fun” is a whodunit set in the 1920’s! These two plays will go forward to represent us in the SCDA 2009 One Act Play Festival as our Adult and Youth entries respectively. So make sure you don’t miss out and book your seats for what should prove to be an excellent evenings entertainment!

Tickets are available in the Fobel from Wednesday 3rd September

A Fine Gentleman
David Drummond comes midnight courting his true love, Jean; at the house of her swindling uncle, Samuel Pitcairn. With the aid of his manservant Willie, a ladder, a convenient window and a scheming maid, the lovers' plans to elope to a new life away from a post rebellious Scotland to Nova Scotia are temporarily thwarted by Pitcairn's blunderbuss. But the intervention of a heavily disguised Italian portrait painter changes their fortunes. Fun ensues in this one act romp penned by Alan Richardson.

 

 


Jolly Good Fun
Set in the 1920s, the big house has a garden party - there are love trysts to be contended with and the young folk, led by the much adored Rupert, indulge in a murder mystery game which appears to go wrong. Winner of 2007 Shetland County Drama Festival Youth Section and overall Festival winner, individual new play writing award and winner of Aberdeen District SCDA Festival Youth Section.
