It's a Wonderful Life: A Radio Play, Adapted for stage by Joe Landry

We were delighted to complete our winter show, in collaboration with Downstage Left, performed at the Polanentheater from 15th - 18th December 2022. Co-founder of Downstage Left and longterm InPlayers member Denis Burke was our director and we enjoyed working with him and benefiting from his experience!

It's a Wonderful Life: A Radio Play, adapted for stage by Joe Landry is based on the classic holiday movie with a clever twist thrown in: the story is staged as a live radio broadcast. Actors portray numerous characters, and sound effects are done through Foley artists. It’s a Wonderful Life is about the life of George Bailey, a generous and well-meaning man who has become too downcast and tired to continue living. It will take help from a lovable angel to show George what life would be like if he wasn’t born for George to have a change of heart and understand the true spirit of the holidays.

The cast consisted of Downstage Left and InPlayers members, old and new. This was the first time that we put on a show in collaboration with another talented theatre group and we were very excited with this new initiative.

Noir Suspicions

In this hard boiled comic mystery sequel to the ever-popular Murder at Cafe Noir (performed by the InPlayers in 2015), ex-private eye Rick Archer is now the confused manager of Cafe Noir on the island of Mustique. He is confronted with a corpse on the dock, a mysterious femme fatale, a French blackmailer and a businessman who wants both the cafe and the woman. Rick is arrested after the blackmailer is murdered in his club. It is up to the audience to convince the magistrate that he is innocent. A tribute to Casablanca with many references to the classic movie, Noir Suspicions is guaranteed to delight audiences whether or not they are familiar with Murder at Cafe Noir.

Comedy: The Virtuous Burglar & Silver Wedding

Also performed 4th - 5th December 2021 matinees at the Polanentheater

Our smash hit show came back for a second run! After sell-out performances in December, we were very excited to announce that the double bill of The Virtuous Burglar & Silver Wedding will return to the Polanen theatre for 4 performances from 31st March to 2nd April.

Dario Fo’s The Virtuous Burglar (translated by Joe Farrell) is a traditional farce that tells the tale of a thief who gets a little more than he bargained for when he breaks into the apartment of a wealthy couple. Mistaken identity, unexpected phone calls and cheating couples all play a part in this hilarious romp that looks at the natures of honesty and deception.

Matteo Pasquini is a contemporary author, based in the Netherlands. Silver Wedding is about a newly married couple who unwittingly become the victims of a scam when ordering furniture online. Fast paced and silly, this comedic play looks at the dangers of trust and internet shopping!

Evening performances  -  31st March, 1st April, 2nd April

Matinee performance - 2nd April

This amateur production of “The Virtuous Burglar” was presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk
