Knowing us, knowing you – Here we go again! An Extrava-ABBA-ganza! We sang along to the movie. 

That’s the Name of the Game! A supper evening with a Greek menu, so Gimme, Gimme, Gimme … whatever is to your taste after Midnight. We did Take a Chance on You.

There was a range of Greek-style food to suit all tastes on the tables.

Noel Coward’s comic play about an ageing, dilettante Thespian depicts a few days in the life of the successful and self-obsessed light comedy actor Garry Essendine as he prepares to travel for touring commitment in Africa. Amid a series of events bordering on farce, Garry has to deal with women who want to seduce him, placate both his long-suffering secretary and his wife, cope with a crazed young playwright, and overcome his impending mid-life crisis.
Coward admitted he wrote it to give himself a ‘bravura’ part and said it was ‘not so much a play as a series of semi-autobiographical pyrotechnics’.

Camelot the Panto, by Ben Crocker. 

This is not the Camelot where Arthur marries Guinevere without a mediaeval hitch. It is the Camelot where the baddie Morgan le Fay has invoked magical powers to try to get Guinevere to marry Vladimir the Vicious, King of the Tangled Wood. But Merlin has discovered the secret of the Elixir of Youth, and this means he is able to become a thousand years younger and resolve the marital situation with super-powers!
