Spring Production

For Starters and We Make Babies

The Spring production will be two entertaining plays by local authors.

For Starters was last year's festival entry: Directed by Julie Petrucci, this charming and entertaining play watches how Roland, a rather particular customer, and Daisy, a unique and inquisitive waitress, gradually grow and learn from each other. The father, daughter team of Stephen and Kattreya Smith reprise the roles of Roland and Daisy, for which Kattreya took Best Junior Performance/Best Actress under 18 awards at Sawston and Cambridge, and the play took second place at Sawston.

We Make Babies, by Sean Abbs, is a surreal comedy drama: Baby meets parents. Things get messy. Two twentysomethings soon find out there is a lot more to having a baby than meets the eye. Parenting isn’t all it’s cracked up to be and the baby isn’t the only thing causing sleepless nights. A search for the answers reaches the summit of a windswept mountain where they see more than just the view. We Make Babies, starring Kattreya Smith and Sean Abbs, is a surreal comedy drama focussed on two people who disagree and a broody desire that will never come to fruition. Dozens of fragmented snippets give us an insight into the relationship, while others have barely any relevance at all.

Festival Play

WCP's 2010 festival entry is to be Anniversary, a new one-act play by WCP playwright Stephen Smith. This will be entered in both the Sawston Drama Festival (Sawston Youth Centre, New Road, Sawston 24-26 March) and the Cambridge Drama Festival (Mumford Theatre, East Road Cambridge 19-24 April). Anniversary has a cast of five made up by Tim Boden, Wendy Croft, Christine Easterfield, Valmai Fumess and David Morris and will be directed by Stephen Smith. Your support at both or either venue would be much appreciated.
