The evening opens with the sketch ‘Coffee Break’ which sees old school friends Charlotte and Lucy bumping into each other at Luigi’s Coffee Shop, having not seen each other for years. Lives have moved on and it’s time for a catch up.
Then we return to Little Grimley with ‘The Fat Lady Sings in Little Grimley’. This one act comedy finds Gordon, Margaret, Joyce and Bernard back to tackle yet another threat to their survival; this time in the shape of a rival am-dram group determined to upstage them. The gloves come off, and they will go to any lengths to preserve their core (more of a pip really) audience. Things are looking grim in Little Grimley, but it’s never over until The Fat Lady Sings.
The Fat Lady Sings’ is the third in the Little Grimley series; Southwell Theatre Club performed ‘Last Tango’ and ‘Last Panto’ in May 2015.
