Set in a community village halls which doubles as a surgery, this hilarious comedy tells the story of a new GP dropped in at the deep end when he finds he is the only doctor in this busy practice. A wide array of patients turn up for treatment and the fun begins. A huge success, this was undoubtedly one of our Adult section’s best productions.
This hilarious follow up to the highly successful original wowed packed houses at the Caxton Theatre. One of the funniest plays ever presented by the Adult Section. Watch out for more mayhem later in the year!
Review By Trevor Ekins for the Grimsby Evening Telegraph
THERE was uncontrollable laughter when the adult members of Class Act Theatre Company launched the first of six productions celebrating the drama group’s tenth anniversary.
Sun, Sea, Sand and Crabs 2, written and directed by Class Act principal David Wrightam, is a sequel that continues to expose the foibles and eccentricities of British holidaymakers abroad.
For those seeking sophisticated humour, this is a lost cause because wave after wave of political incorrectness, sexism and comic stereotyping hit you with all the force of an artillery bombardment.
It is a throwback to the innuendo-laden comedy of 1970s TV sit-coms, but proving that comedy never really dies; there were as many funny lines as grains of sand on Cleethorpes beach.
Indeed judging by the increasing crescendo of laughter amongst the audience, they were having more fun than a day at the seaside.
The plot revolves around 24 hours in the lives of a diverse group of holidaymakers staying at the hotel from hell on a nightmare Cheapo Tours package holiday.
We are exposed to a microcosm of British life and the cast do a brilliant job in developing and maintaining their characters throughout.
Rob Bishop never disappoints and delivers a sterling performance as the social misfit Donny, while Steve Greenwood is hilarious to watch as one-half of a gay couple, especially when forced to deny his sexuality.
Meanwhile, Hayley Wrightam vamps it up wonderfully as the leader of a man-eating pack of girls on the lookout for only one thing and Pearl Hammond prompts plenty of chuckles as the busybody.
Into this mix, add an ingénue abroad, your typical mother-in-law, a disrespectful son-in-law and married couples wanting to play away and you have the perfect recipe for confusion, chaos and disharmony.
Another great production which brought tears to the eyes. Fanny Adams, a look at amateur theatre at its worst was a hit with the audiences, many of whom left crying with laughter.
Another hugely successful play for the Adult section. Six little playlets covering the life of a church hall over the period of one week…
This play is one of the funniest staged by the Class Act Adults. Sort of Coronation Street meets Benidorm!
Allo Allo Met Carry On in this hilarious farce which got to the Classd Act season off to a cracking start. One of
the funniest presented by the Adult section who are now getting quite a following.
Perhaps the most popular of the Adult productions, the audiece were rolling in the aisles at the antics of Long Willy Sullivan and his crew.
