Where were wobbly sets?
THE Ullenhall Players must do better than this.
Their recent production at the Palace Theatre , Who Goes Bare' - presented as an amateur production, was clearly nothing of the sort. Why oh why did they choose to serve up a thinly disguised first rate professional production of a kind which frankly gives amateur dramatics a bad name?
At no point did we get the impression that this company would make a late entrance, drop a line, miss a cue, kill a joke, struggle for a laugh or hold up a wobbly set and quite honestly it just won't do!
On a hot spring night, when any self respecting person should have been at home tending to a barbecue, we could have at least hoped for a quiet couple of hours of toe-curling embarrassment in a near empty theatre. But no!
Yes, I appreciate that these actors aren't paid and maybe we could forgive them for occassionally slipping out of amateur mode when perhaps they were tired - but I understand this has been going on all week.
So come on Ullenhall, let's try a little harder next time. At least one entrance through the fire place would be a start.
Really what is the point of struggling into Birmingham to see professional theatre when we have this on our doorstep.
I suppose it'll be the same again next year.
