17th - 20th July The Odd Couple
BCP's Next Production
After three fabulous auditions, the final cast for The Odd Couple is as follows:
- Olive Trish Thompson
- Florence Janice Lake
- Sylvie Linda Shaw
- Vera Ann Westcott
- Renee Jan Batchelor
- Mickey Lorna Gemmell
- Jesus Philip Fine
- Manolo Ian Nutt
Six sassy American ladies meet once a week at Olive's home to eat, drink and play Trivial Pursuit. Olive, against the advice of friends, takes pity on Florence when she is abandoned by her husband and invites her to stay. Olive (a self confessed slob) soon discovers that Florence is a stickler for detail whose habits would try the patience of a saint! The interference of two attractive, fun-loving Spanish men who live upstairs causes increased complications in this laugh-out-loud comedy!
Girl Power 1980s style is the order of the day in this updated version of the brilliant Neil Simon film and stage play.
Last production Whodunnit - 15th to 18th May
