Yes, once again the dreaded Norman of Alan Ayckbourn's
Norman Conquests has reappeared on Pateley Playhouse stage. Pateley
Bridge Dramatic Society presented Living Together in 1979, Table Manners
in the 1980's and Round & Round The Garden in 1992. We repeated
Living Together as part of Nidderdale Festival. This hilarious comedy of
family life is a trilogy of plays taking place concurrently over a
weekend as the eponymous Norman seeks to make everyone (especially the
females) happy. Each play is complete in itself, but fits with the other
plays, being the view point of the living room, the dining room or the
garden. Joyce Liggins has enviable stamina as she has been in all four
plays. Norman is a repeat performance by Peter Buller and Playhouse
regulars may remember his manic performance in 'Garden'. Fiona Hewison
also repeated her role as Annie. Nevin Ward, Ruth Dodsworth and Peter
Meese play Reg, Sarah & Tom respectively. |
