Spring Production

Summer End

Our Spring Production will be Summer End by Eric Chappell, to be directed by Chris Shinn.

Emily and May share a bed-sitting room in the Summer End retirement home. May is a newcomer; Emily's previous room mate Bella having recently died under mysterious circumstances. Cantankerous Emily is certain she was murdered for her money by Sally, one of her carers and has evidence to prove it, or so she thinks. When the evidence disappears and Bella's sapphire ring is found among her possessions, Emily cannot remember enough about her own past actions to stop the finger of suspicion pointing at her. It is not until May is attacked that the mystery is finally solved.

Summer End combines the elements of a murder-mystery thriller with a touching and funny character study of two old ladies whose early mutual mistrust gradually changes into friendship as they face suspicion and adversity together.

The cast is as follows:

Emily Baines	Caroline Blair
May Brewer	Suzanne Holland
Sally	Kayleigh Orrock
Mrs Lang	Rosie Wilson
Alan Baines	Paul Lockwood
