thanks to the cast and crew of the above. Also to Jane and Mark from
Lostock Gralam for "the car". The play has been entered in

of what the adjudicator thought.
THE FARNDALE AVE. HOUSING ESTATE TOWNSWOMEN'S GUILD DRAMATIC SOCIETY
MURDER MYSTERY, a comedy by David McGillivray & Walter Zerlin
Junior. To be directed by Sue Green. Auditions 15 March at 7.30pm in the
Village Hall. Parts for at least 5 women. Every drama group has experienced
the horrors of what can go wrong on the night and the ladies of the F.A.H.E.T.G.D.S.
are no different, with the possible exception that everything that possibly
could happen does. The scenery collapses, cues are missed, lines forgotten,
as the ladies present their ambitious evening's entertainment with the cunning
whodunit "Murder at Checkmate Manor".
