‘I particularly like the Little Grimley plays, as after perusing several scripts these were the first that made me laugh out loud,’ Angela says. ‘They also mirror the struggles of a small amateur dramatic society - something most amateur thespians and their audiences will recognize – as well as being a wonderful commentary on the phrase “art imitating life imitating art.”

Last Tango in Little Grimley is about a village amateur dramatic club whose membership has dwindled to four with audiences that aren’t much bigger. And if they don’t come up with some rent money soon, they’re going to be thrown out. But Gordon the Chairman has an idea guaranteed to put bums on seats. Thus begins the chaotic and hilarious build-up to an evening of extraordinary home-grown drama – an evening the locals will never forget!

In Lockdown in Little Grimley, Gordon calls a meeting, complete with social distancing, to discuss his idea for their next production – a touching love story set in a hospital, with all profits destined for the NHS. But based on their previous efforts, will the NHS end up worse off?
