Saughtonhall United Reformed Church
Surprise Package
★★★☆☆ Brightly cheerful:
Surprise Package, Saughtonhall Drama Group’s comedy at Saughtonhall United Reformed Church, is garishly old-fashioned and very silly, but put together with genuine care.
Nightmare
★★★☆☆ Oddly enjoyable:
A frankly implausible plot, that breaks several of the cardinal rules of crime fiction, is largely overcome by the committed performances in Saughtonhall Drama Group’s Nightmare.
Cocoa and Cuddles
★★☆☆☆ Curiously disconnected:
Saughtonhall Drama Club opens its 70th anniversary year with Cocoa and Cuddles by Jane Lockyer Willis, a strange and worryingly disconnected piece of theatre.
Ladies’ Day
★★★★☆ Good each-way bet
Saughtonhall Drama Club’s Ladies’ Day has warm humour, the odd spiky line and a finely put together production.
Hatches, Matches and Dispatches
★★★★☆ Beautiful timing:
There is genuine warmth in Saughtonhall Drama Group’s Hatches, Matches and Dispatches, adding to a real drive and considerable understanding of comedy.
Puss In Boots
★★★★☆ Huge laughs:
Great fun is to be had at Saughtonhall Drama Group’s Puss In Boots, which gets the pantomime season off to a riotous start.
Ne’er the Twain
★★★★☆ Funny:
Bold, fast-paced and verging on the hysterical at times, Saughtonhall Drama Group’s Ne’er The Twain is a tremendously enjoyable production.
Cheshire Cats
★★★★★ Great Big Grins:
Life-affirming and hugely funny, Cheshire Cats at Saughtonhall United Reformed Church is a rare treat indeed.
Beyond a Joke
✭✭✭✩✩ Dead funny
Saughtonhall Drama Group extract a large amount of humour from their production of Derek Benfield’s 1979 farce Beyond a Joke.
