Last Tango In Little Grimley / Figments Sway Drama Club, Sway Village Hall
TWO one-act comedies, a singing group during the interval, and even a complimentary ploughman's supper provided a rustic romp for a spring evening.
Figments by Alan Griffiths, an unusual and intriguing play about a struggling playwright, is smoothly directed by John Petroff, revealing various layers of humour, from John Davis's bumbling vicar to Sandra Attrill's eye- and ear-catching mistress, Marianne Duval.
Last Tango in Little Grimley by David Tristram is a rollicking satire on amateur dramatics, with Mark Ward as chairman Gordon enthusiastically but increasingly dementedly attempting to control and cajole his colleagues into actually acting.
The two plays complement each other,the ribald wit and language pleasing most of the ebullient first-night audience.
If prompts could often be heard and timing was occasionally loose, somehow it didn't seem to matter,given the themes of the plays.
