Meeching Amateur Dramatics is 11 years old and meets most Tuesdays and Thursday evenings. As a community-based group, one of MAD’s principle aims is to stimulate an interest in amateur dramatics and to try to provide its members the opportunity to be involved in any aspect of the theatre that interests them for example mime or puppetry, nothing would be dismissed as too diverse providing commitment and hard work can be shown by those participating.

We aim to stage two to three productions a year which provides those interested the opportunity to act, or if preferred try their hand at the numerous other jobs which are needed to put on a production. There is always help and guidance available from ‘older hands’ in the group for those who may be new to amateur dramatics. It goes without saying that there is a great deal of work in putting on a production, and we are always interested to hear from people who want to get involved. It doesn’t matter whether you want to act, dance, sing, direct, build set, paint or just make the tea!

Joining is simple, just call Tony 01323 896813 or email tonywgibbs@btinternet.com

'Allo 'Allo, word from the chair...


Well we did it, another great seasonal production and I would like to thank everyone involved in ‘Allo ‘Allo, for making it another big success story. Not only was it a fabulous production, with praise still ‘ringing in our ears’ from those who saw it, and with the figures coming out from our hard pressed Treasurer Garry, confirming it was a ‘record breaker’ in more ways than one. Ticket sales, raffle, refreshments you name it were all up. So once again thank you so much for all your tremendous efforts.

11th-19th January 2008 production

Based on the hugely popular TV comedy series, the stage version of ‘Allo ‘Allo follows the adventures of René, the hapless café owner in war-torn occupied France, as he and his wife, Edith, struggle to keep for themselves a priceless portrait stolen by the Nazis and kept in a sausage in their cellar. René is hiding two British airmen and is endeavouring, with the help of the Resistance, to repatriate them. However, communications with London through a wireless disguised as a cockatoo add to the many embarrassments he endures in the company of his patrons. Matters come to a head with the news that the Fuhrer is to visit the town and the café becomes filled with tricksters intending to impersonate Hitler before the event. René will need all the wit he can muster to save his café and his life . . . . . !
