Heavenly Happenings at CHESTER THEATRE CLUB...


All this week at CHESTER THEATRE CLUB: 
A 5 year old play by Richard Everett: " Entertaining Angels".......the story of Dead Vicar, Bardy......his Exceedingly Alive darkly attractive Wife, Grace, .....also the new and youthful blonde Lady Vicar, Sarah, .....plus the Wife's daughter, Jo,  and her Sister, Ruth. 

There are family revelations and family complications...... which evoke smiles and laughter......sighs and sorrow......with some happening all at the same time. 

A small tight cast featured: 
Janice Fryett as Grace, with a strong assured performance,  superbly hilarious and thoughtfully contemplative in equal measure...... ......plus Ian Dunn, exactly right as Bardolph, Dead Vicar.... with his natural dignity and wonderful dark chocolate voice.... 

Liz Stafford was Ruth the Missionary who gave us ( and her sister!) a Very Big Surprise  ...and Laura Smith was the caring kindly daughter, Jo. 
Newcomer to Little Theatre Naomi Turrell, clad in cassock kindly loaned by Chester Cathedral,  played Jo, the new Vicar, with serene but approachable, aplomb!  

The play was directed by Margaret Bennett who never fails to produce one of the Club's best plays. She was assisted by the highly experienced Hilary Egan. 
ABOVE: Snap of the set, designed by the dedicated and creative team of B ryan Conlon, Roberty Gay, Carol Kenny, Keith Long, Dick Pole, John Sands and George Westgarth, with Set Artwork by Rob Symington. 

There's only today AND tomorrow to CATCH THIS PLAY BUT IF YOU'RE IN CHESTER IT REALLY  IS WORTH SEEING...
