Twyford Drama’s small cast of five are now progressing well with rehearsals for Richard Everett’s ‘Entertaining Angels’, an excellent play, brought to prominence by Penelope Keith’s iconic portrayal of the lead character, Grace, in 2006 at The Chichester Festival Theatre. 

This spokesperson for Twyford Drama has come forward to tell the public that they have two new actresses joining them for this next production. 

They have also revealed how excited they are to introduce their new stars to the audience during their next play.

The spokesperson said the following: "We have a highly talented cast with two new but very experienced actresses: Sandra Miall (Grace) and Caroline White (Jo). The other members of the team are Beth Reynolds, Jo Davis and Mike Higgins.

"We are having a great time getting our heads around the ins and outs of the script, which is a huge contrast to our recent production of ‘The Mister Misty Mystery’."

There are entrances and exits galore which enhances the early humour but provides significant shifts of gear as the plot unfolds.

Each of the characters has their own ‘back story’, which gives the cast much to ponder over as their individual portrayals develop.

The set is simple, given that it doesn’t change throughout the play; there are, however,  two scenes overlaid on top of each other, which presents a challenge.

Essentially the scene is a garden with a house on one side of the stage and a greenhouse on the other, accentuated by an upstage stream at the front. Both lighting and set designers are having enormous fun exploring the different ways of presenting the scenes.

Sound has opportunities for some interesting transitions and whilst the costumes are modern day, they are complemented by a host of interesting props. 

Frank Kaye is directing the production, ably assisted by his Assistant Director, Viv Williamson. This dynamic duo are now approaching the exciting  juncture where their cast begin to own the play, their roles developing and  transitioning as they begin to settle into their lines.

… All in all, a brilliant play beginning to shape up as a unique production.
