Join us at Stage One Theatre, Emba as we return to Farndale for another riotous celebration of amateur theatre. Get ready for an evening of unstoppable laughter when the curtain rises on Chase Me Up Farndale Avenue S’il Vous Plait, a theatrical farce by Walter Zerlin Jr. and David McGillivray. This production promises comedy lovers yet another unforgettable night of hilarious mayhem.
If you haven’t already experienced a ‘Farndale’ play, make sure you see this one! Set in the gloriously chaotic world of The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen’s Guild Dramatic Society, the play follows an ill-fated attempt to stage a risqué bedroom farce. A group of men and women with confusingly similar names try to conduct clandestine affairs in a Paris hotel. What unfolds is a catalogue of comic disasters: missed cues, collapsing sets, forgotten lines, and performers bravely improvising their way through one calamity after another.
Don’t miss this play-within-a-play where every moment teeters on the brink of disaster. The valiant “actors” battle bravely on despite technical failures, memory lapses, and their own wildly misplaced ambition. Highlighting the horrors of amateur dramatics, this production is layered, clever, and relentless with the wonderful irony that impeccable comic timing and physical comedy are of the essence to make every blunder land perfectly. Every mishap is meticulously crafted, every mistake perfectly planned, making the chaos onstage all the more impressive and irresistibly funny.
