Didcot Phooenix Drama Group are pleased to present a Showcase evening of two award winning one-act plays, on Friday 12th September at 7.30pm in Harwell Village Hall. Reviving two pieces from this year’s Oxfordshire theatre festival season, we bring you Visitors by Emma Gardner and Calling All the Dreamers by Adelina Inganno.
‘Visitors’ is a situation comedy set at Little Denys Castle, England’s most boring ancient monument, where the staff are facing an unexpected new phenomenon: visitors. Site manager Freya, pedantic volunteer Joan, and work experience student Sally must overcome fudge shrapnel, new-age gardeners and flying tomatoes to convince the tourists that Little Denys is worth visiting. Above all, they must stop their unexpected visitors escaping to Beaumaven – the grand castle next door, whose site manager, Shirley, would very much like her visitors back.
‘Calling All the Dreamers’ is inspired by the works of Dario Fo. This is a world where Artificial Intelligence has seeped into every corner of daily life. It is a fast-paced, absurdist farce that follows the working class as they struggle to navigate an increasingly AI driven society that leaves people like them behind. Brimming with black humour, social commentary and biting satire, Calling All the Dreamers is a wake-up call and a warning about the promises and risks new technology brings.
Tickets are £10 and £7 available in advance from www.ticketsource.co.uk/didcot-phoenix-drama-group or on the door.
