OUT OF FOCUS by Peter Gordon

19th-21st July 2001 - Crowthorne Parish Hall

Out Of Focus poster
"Out of Focus" is set in the annex of a church hall where a series of over bookings have occurred.

A wonderful mix of characters from the local village descend on the hall for a Brownie troop meeting, a game of badminton, table tennis, auditions for the vicar's wife's new pantomime and an illustrated talk on steam locomotives - each claiming their rightful place.

Confusion reigns until everyone finally unites for a common cause - the production of the pantomime.

Over the following weeks of rehearsals, alliances are formed and switched as the cast battle against the odds and the opening night fears. Events finally culminate backstage after the final performance at the cast party when everyone receives their just deserts.................
