- Event 13: Carrs Lane Players present 'Rumours'
- Type of event — A farce by Neil Simon
- Description of event —
The play is about a group of affluent people who gather in the posh suburban residence of a couple, for a dinner party celebrating their wedding anniversary. When they arrive, they discover there are no servants, the hostess is missing, and the host, who is the Assistant Deputy Minister of Finance, has shot himself through the earlobe. Comical complications arise when, given everyone's upper class status, they decide they need to do everything possible to conceal the evening's events from the local police.
The Carrs Lane Players will as usual donate the surplus to a charity, this time the BBC WM Kids Kidney Appeal
Please come along and give your support. 'Rumours' is presented by special arrangement with Samuel French Ltd.
