Twyford Drama’s next production is set to be funny, touching, thought-provoking and profound.
Cast and crew have been selected for the production of a dark comedy Entertaining Angels by Richard Everett. Rehearsals and set building start this month.
The play is set in the modern garden of a vicarage where the vicar has just passed away. It centres on the efforts of the widow’s family to persuade her to move, and allow the new vicar to take the reins.
The group’s spokesperson says: “Initial humour yields to a mesh of more serious, darker themes, which is where the play gains its power.
“Richard Everett’s drama is funny, touching and genuinely thought-provoking, carrying some real emotion. It is a work that will trigger laughter, yet simultaneously affect its audience with its profoundness; the playwright pulls off this two-pronged approach masterfully. A real hit.”
The play’s director is Frank Kaye. After a career as an actor, Frank transitioned into directing, having achieved his Masters at Royal Holloway and worked in a professional direction of the play Faustaff in Mexico City.
Frank is a talented, long-standing member of Twyford Drama and has directed many plays with them, including Loot in 2018 and Ladies’ Day in 2022.
