Flying Feathers
at
Bridgetown Theatre
After being told that their brother Bernard has been killed in a farming accident in the Orkneys, Chief Constable Henry Potterton (Michael Marsh) and his sister, Sarah (Joyce Birch) travel to Dingle Farm, to inspect the property of their late, lamented brother.
Expecting to be met by an elderly house keeper when they arrive, they are surprised to find a number of young ladies wandering around the property , in what can only be describe as “attire very unsuitable for farming”. They are even more surprised to find that the housekeeper they were expecting to meet, had retired and passed her job on to a dominant lady who seemed to have an answer to every question asked, with out really saying anything.
House keeper, Mrs Winthrop (Ingrid Strong), is even more surprised than Henry and Sarah when she eventually believes their story that they are possibly the new owners of Dingle Farm, Mrs Winthrop then tries to muster her girls together and, for appearances, turn them into farm hands, with out too much success. Her girls are played by Kym Baker, Kim Hockings, Julie Hall and Philippa Martin.
More confusion is poured into the play when a vicar (Peter Francis) arrives to participate in the wares of the house, but may not be who he says he is, closely followed by a solicitor, (Paul Hall), who could in fact be a vet. Then there is the window cleaner, (Lachlan Anderson), who gets into trouble when he is not even there.
Flying Feathers is a beautifully written comedy/farce, with twists and turn through out the script, just as you think you have the whole thing worked out, another twist is put in.
The play has been popular where ever it has been performed, with the audiences leaving the theatres with aching sides and faces from laughing so much.
Written by Derek Benfield and directed by Pat Francis, Flying Feathers is being performed at Bridgetown Theatre on March 24, 25, 31 and April 1 at 8.00 pm plus one matinee on Sunday March 26, starting at 2.00 pm. Tickets are available from James the Jeweller in Bridgetown, Tel: 9761 1182, or at the door. Bookings should be made early as tickets are already selling well.
