For family viewing

Forthcoming production

Old Buckenham Players next production will be ‘It runs in the family’, Ray Cooney‘s award-winning West End farce that will be taking an airing in Old Buckenham in May.
Dr David Mortimore is preparing to address a conference of neuro-surgeons with a speech certain to guarantee him a knighthood. In rushes a visitor, a nurse he had a fling with 18 years ago. Mortimore learns that as a result of their tryst she bore him a son; a son who is at this moment rampaging round the hospital searching for his wayward father!
Attempting to cover up such a catastrophe on this important day and against the clock, he starts a series of lies and cover ups that spin deliriously out of control. "If you‘re going to tell a lie, tell a whopper," he yells. In the ensuing chaos he traps friends and family into his increasingly impossible situation.
Performances take place on Thursday 19, Friday 20 and Saturday 21 May.
Tickets will be available from the beginning of April from Old Buckenham Post Office, Nuts ‘n’ Bolts in Attleborough or by calling 01603 810373.
Tickets will cost £6 - with concessions for groups of ten or more.
