Four actors (2m, 2f) and no set (just a few simple props) Remember lockdown - and what it did to theatres? How can we forget. But at least now we can laugh about it, courtesy of Lockdown in Little Grimley. Running at around 50-60 minutes, you can easily stage this hilarious but sometimes touching romp with any other of the Grimley one-act plays. LOCKDOWN LAUGHS IN LITTLE GRIMLEY "Tonight the Windmill Players were pretending to be ‘hopeless thespians who couldn’t act their way out of a paper bag’, but the Thornton based actors gave a polished, dynamic performance that had the Little Theatre crowd in stitches. The double-dose of David Tristram's comedy dramas - Lockdown and Murder - were both fast-paced and packed with zingy one-liners and relatable situations, and four loveable personalities. With razor sharp dialogue and impeccable comic timing, the Windmill Players brought these hilarious plays to life." LUCINDA HERBERT - BLACKPOOL GAZETTE Lockdown is extremely easy to stage. It requires no set, no complex lighting, just a few chairs and some very simple props. What you will need are four talented actors (two male, two female) and a director with a keen sense of fun and a love of fast-moving visual and verbal comedy. This is the fifth of the hugely popular Little Grimley series, which follows the antics of a hapless Amateur Dramatic Society desperate for audiences. In 'Lockdown' the Chairman Gordon calls an emergency meeting, complete with social distancing, to discuss his idea for their next production when restrictions ease - a touching love story set in a hospital, with all profits destined for the NHS. But based on their previous efforts, will the NHS actually end up worse off? Highbury Theatre discuss their forthcoming return to Little Grimley...
"A lovely, gloriously funny play." Roger Clarke
