Next Meeting

The aim of the meeting is to look at ideas for the coming year and start to get a plan in place. The meeting will include reading possible plays.


Latest prodcution:

Stupid Cupids  held on 11th & 12th February 2011 at Stoke Prior Sports & Country Club. The sketches have all been written by members of the All & Sundry Writing Group.













The first production ofsmAll & Sundry was "Spirits", a comedy written by Tristan Harris, Editor of The Bromsgrove Standard.  Directed by Mike Richardson, it was performed at The Ark, Alvechurch, on Friday 15th May 2009.

"Spirits" tells the tale of an entertainer who makes a living from duping the public with her spiritualist act - until a real spirit turns up at one of her séances!  The play lasts about 1 hour, and involves a cast of 6 main charaters and a number of supporting roles.

The production was a huge success, with a capacity audience thoroughly enjoying the show.




The second production of smAll & Sundry was "An Evening of Two Halves".  The first half of the evening was an improvisation session, with lots of audience participation.  The second half was a comedy "AA Breakdwon", written and directed by Roger Goddard. The play is set on a Greek island.  A tourist bus has broken down in a remote spot and it transpires that everybody on board has some sort of addiction - from gambling to sex!

In line with the aims of smAll & Sundry the production has given several opportunities to All & Sundry members:

1. The chance for a play written by a group member to be performed in public
2. The chance for a new director to develop their confidence and skills
3. Although the cast included a number of experienced actors, several less experienced performers (including one newcomer to
the group) were given the opportunity to increase their confidence and develop their skills
4. Because of the low entry charge (which included a free drink!), members of the public enjoyed a night of theatre, getting great value for money!

Performed on two consecutive Saturday nights (20th & 27th Feb 2010) the production was a huge success, with a total audience number of well over 100.  Everybody enjoyed the evening, and feedback has been great!



The third production  of smAll & Sundry was "An Evening of Two Plays" in November 2010. Both plays were written by All & Sundry members:

The Orwell Society by Mike Richardson, directed by John Edwards-Bick
Back at the Hotel by Roger Goddard, directed by Pat Hobday.

Despite bitterly cold weather reducing audience numbers a bit, both evenings were very enjoyable, with the plays demonstrating high standards of acting and direction.
