The Wadham Players recent performance of three one act plays was a great success. The first short play was Playgoers a comedy by Arthur Wing Pinero and directed by Elaine Elliot. Events do not go as planned and cook and maids are left feeling patronised and unappreciated. Eventually all resign, leaving only Stephen Jacob's genuinely funny, doddering odd job man. Altogether an accomplished performance.

The next play, directed by Keith Cummings, was Jean McConnell's Shoppers. This offered us a glimpse of a day in the lives of ladies-who-lunch Rosemary and Angela, played respectively by Rose Floyd and Elaine Elliot. It is full of barbed comments and witty one liners. This was a delight, with both performers giving strong, polished performances - a comic gem.

In the Brylcreem Boys by Peter Durrant and directed by Michael Michael. The action here takes place in a RAF hospital in 1944, where RAF sentry 'George' has been admitted for frost bite - a part Lee Ocsko played to perfection.

This is a highly emotional play and the entire cast gave it their all. Each performer managed to portray their character's tenuous grasp on reality and was truly compelling.

This was ensemble performing of the highest calibre.
