Synopsis Timothy Ledbury, Choir Master of a small choral society, is taking a rehearsal in the back room of the Corn Exchange. Edith Codsmore, who is tone deaf, has always taken the lead role in the choir, mainly because she is the Mayor’s wife and has a dominant personality. The choir have been chosen to take part in an International Singing competition and Edith naturally assumes, as usual, she will take the role of the lead soloist. However, Carrie Richens, who has just moved into the area, joins the choir. She has an outstanding voice and is selected by a member’s vote to take the solo role. Edith throws a wobbly and storms out. After much grovelling, Edith is persuaded to re-join the choir and just as it seems that everything is back on track, Odette Newbold, another choir member who is pregnant, almost gives birth during a rehearsal! To add to the mayhem, unbeknown to Edith, her daughter Jenny, is only attending the choir so that she can secretly meet her boyfriend, Hugh Jones. This is a ticking time bomb as Hugh is certainly not in the social class that Edith would welcome into her home. By now, Timothy has fallen deeply in love with Carrie and all seems to be on track for romantic bliss and success in the international competition, but life is never that straightforward. The intrigues, quarrels and surprising twists in the storyline all add up to a most entertaining evening. Hardly any scenery or furniture is required which makes for ease in staging this highly amusing comedy. Written in 2006, this play has enjoyed outstanding success. It includes four original songs with a full music score. |
