Alan Ayckbourn is a Red Spider favourite so what more natural than a double bill presenting two of his subtly amusing one act comedies, ‘Between Mouthfuls’ and ‘Gosforth Fete’. These were two very different plays but each displaying both humour and pathos. Both were challenging in very different ways, both introduced fresh faces and both delivered the goods.
A Genteel Evening with Red Spider Company: November 2005

A featured and varied programme of songs from those long standing associates of Red Spider Company, the Pack Horse Singers. This was followed by a three course meal and the venting was rounded off by a performance of ‘Genteel,’ a delightful comedy by Evelyn Hood. The production was staged on a weekend otherwise notable for the worst snows in this part of Devon for many years. Unlike many other local events, the production was not cancelled and the Spiders were rewarded by a superb level of attendance by their faithful followers.

Written and sort of produced by Alan Payne, this was a schizophrenic panto-party where the ‘guests’ were both audience and cast and the characters seemed to wander from fairy story to fairy story –but they all lived happily ever after!

A rehearsed reading with a difference. This brief dramatisation by Alan Payne of Dickens’s ‘A Christmas Carol’ in two scenes was presented as the entertainment between the courses of a Christmas supper. The scenery was surprisingly sophisticated and the play so well rehearsed that the ‘reading’ was barely noticeable.

A double bill with two very different comedies. ‘Dress Rehearsal,’ produced by Susanne Clayton, was an deliciously hilarious send-up of ‘Amdram,’ while ‘From Three to Four’ produced by Alan Payne, gave more gentle and more thought provoking humour, touching as it did on hospital visiting time.
