| In festive mood, the F.A.H.E.T.G.D.S.
ladies mount yet another assault on the classics with their stage
version of A Christmas Carol. Enthusiasm their middle name,
and with the virile support of stage-manager Gordon, the cast
present a dizzy array of characters from the Dickensian favourite
(and a few which aren't) under the ever-battling leadership of
Thelma and Mrs. Reece. Of course, no Farndale evening would be quite
complete without those wayward touches of ingenuity for which the
ladies are so justly famed, so, in truly sparkling form, Mrs. Reece
engineers some novel audience participation while bravely contending
with the chattily-intrusive PA system. And, a real Farndale First:
two specially-composed songs providing unique, show-stopping
opportunities for the ladies to wrap their vocal chords and feet
around. |
