Plot Synopsis

Sky Masterson: On the day when I left home to make my way in the world, my daddy took me to one side. "Son," my daddy says to me, "I am sorry I am not able to bankroll you to a large start, but not having the necessary lettuce to get you rolling, instead I'm going to stake you to some very valuable advice. One of these days in your travels, a guy is going to show you a brand-new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet broken. Then this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the jack of spades jump out of this brand-new deck of cards and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not accept this bet, because as sure as you stand there, you're going to wind up with an ear full of cider."

Chairman's Message

As a group, we in the Concept Players always try to ring the changes with our shows, in content as well as style. So following last year's outrageous version of The Gondoliers, this year we've gone for a well-known Broadway blockbuster, Guys and Dolls. Some people suggest that the gangster element is becoming a regular feature in all our shows, but after one of our members went to the trouble and expense of going to New York to research the accent (in the interests of authenticity, you understand), we didn't have the heart to disappoint him by doing a different show! Fortunately, this kind of over-the-top response to our shows is fairly rare - well, not more than once a year - so I suppose we'd better not do the King and I yet, just in case someone gets too enthusiastic with the hair clippers…
