DAME
AGATHA’S GREATEST CASE 26th
– 28th November 2009 Corfe
Castle Village Hall Can
Crustie Crack the Case?! World
famous sleuth, Dame Agatha Crustie, has been invited down for a ripping
weekend of huntin’, shootin’ and fishin’ in the country by Sir
Redvers & Lady Bertha. But,
so have a whole collection of suspicious, shifty and stereotypical
characters, all with secrets and simmering grudges to hide that will
inevitably boil over into murder! The
film starlet, the playboy, the politician and the gangland mobster are
just some of the usual suspects stalking the apparently peaceful
panelled rooms of Blandling Hall. Can
Dame Agatha live up to her reputation and beat her nemesis, Inspector
Corner of the Yard, to the solution once again?
Will she succeed in unravelling the tangled web of intrigue and
deceit to unmask the murderer before it is too late?
Will the raffle make more money than the interval refreshments?
Who knows? But,
you can find out by joining Double Act at their latest production “Dame
Agatha’s Greatest Case” on November 26th till 28th
at Corfe Castle Village Hall. A
1930’ s set comedy country house murder mystery that provides an
evening of fun filled frolics spiced up with songs to well known Gilbert
& Sullivan tunes, and quite probably a murder or two.
Tickets £7 adults, £4 children with a £5 concession for
OAP’s on the Saturday matinee - from Corfe Castle Post Office or the
Box Office 01929 480323. |

MAIN
production 27th,
28th & 29th November 2008 “Cinderella” Yes,
it was Panto time again! Oh,
no it wan’t! Oh, yes it
was! From
Dog To Director! A
young David Wellstead (19) dirested 2008's Double Act production of Cinderella at the Corfe Castle Village Hall from 27th to 29th November. David first joined Double Act as a young lad in 2001 playing the impish dog inventively called ‘Dog’ in the company’s award winning production of “Pantomime Pie”. Since then he has played a variety of roles including Dick, one of the Fab 4, in the Hurrah for the Fabulous Four and a frightening Jacob Marley in A Christmas Carol. Directing your first production is a challenge for any new director, but particularly for one so young. David, a gap year student at the time, hoped to use the experience to further his acting and directing career, the next step being to go to college to study drama. David said, “This is a fantastic opportunity to direct my first production, it is going to be a real test, but I know I can rely on the help and support of the cast to see me through.” The title role of Cinderella was being played by Cherry Smith who had been performing with Double Act since she was six, and as she will be training to be a vet in 2009, this was her farewell performance. “I can still remember my first lines,” says Cherry “They were ‘Hey wait for me!’ in the 1996 production of Purbeck Line Up.” Cinderella was a colourful and spectacular pantomime with many of the regular Double Act favourites in the cast together with some talented newcomers. Anyone interested in joining the group should contact the Chairman Mike on 480323. Some of the players..................
