THIS play centres rounda middle-aged womanwho, deserted by herhusband for someoneyounger, has urgentchoices to make, helped –or maybe not – by herfellow members on thevillage hall committee.

It may not sound like abundle of laughs, butdon’t be fooled – I don’tthink I’ve ever heard a

BLTC audience laugh quite so much as they did in thisabsolutely first-class production, which combines awonderful set, a clever script, superb direction by VirginiaHarrington and a cast whose timing and acting skills aresecond to none.

Lolly Seager is totally believable as Susan Shaw, whofinds herself at 58 with men almost literally falling at herfeet – one of whom, Thomas, is given such a brilliantcharacterisation by Stewart Barlow that he comesexceedingly close to stealing the show.

Cathy Feiner also gives a very strong and naturalperformance as Susan’s friend, Linda, and the scene whereshe is acting as Susan’s personal trainer is one of thehighlights of the evening.

Rounding off the cast are Ben Feiner(Peter), Chris Huggill (Henry) andAndrew Whyatt (Richard).

If I had the time I’d sit through itall over again.

FROM THE EDITOR

Dear Members

I’m sure you will all want to join mein congratulating Virginia Harringtonon her directorial debut with theclub. It’s Never Too Late was abrilliantly directed comedy whichutilised the actors to perfection.Their skilful comic timing could bemeasured by the amount of laughter from the audience.I don’t think I have ever heard an audience at BLTClaugh so much. Since half the cast are members ofVirginia’s workshop, surely this demonstrates the richrewards to the club if it nurtures and trains new talentin this way?

The new season promises to be an interesting oneparticularly as it includes the very first play the clubperformed back in 1920! Please support as many playsas you can. It is so disappointing to have empty seatswhen so much work has gone into a production. We arealso starting to have theatre companies visit us so pleasecheck the diary so you don’t miss out on someinteresting performances.

Do remember to tell as many people as possible aboutthe club or better still bring them along with you. Whynot make this the year you become an active member?There is so much backstage work and organisation to betackled and all help is valued whether it’s doing front ofhouse, serving the teas, organising the props or any ofthe myriad tasks necessary to keep the club functioning.Virginia’s workshops are starting again in September(see diary) if you feel you want some support, trainingand encouragement to actually start acting. Also sincelocal playwright Les Clarke is opening the season, whynot follow his example and try your hand at writing.Perhaps your work will be in the next season!

I have been asked by Marjorie, who does the technicalside of this newsletter, whether there are any membersinterested in going as a group to visit other venues,including the West End. If you are interested pleaseeither e-mail or send a letter to the club and let’s getorganised to go! Also does anyone have other ideas forsocial events that would interest club members?

Finally I have a plea for help in running the bars fromAnn Cave. Everyone enjoys the chance to enjoy refresh-ments when they visit the club but Ann now finds sheneeds help in carrying the merchandise upstairs andtaking the empty bottles to the tip. Can any young fitmembers offer to help with this? It is only a few times ayear.

If you no longer wish to receive the newsletter or ifyou would rather receive it by e-mail, please ’phoneRobin on 01202 742298 or e-mail him [email protected] (this does save the club agreat deal of money).

This former West End farce is set in the London fur

salon of Bodley, Bodley, and Crouch. Gilbert Bodley

plans to sell an expensive mink to Harry McMichael

cheaply for Harry’s wife, Janie, who Gilbert is

planning an affair with. However, instead of doing

his own dirty work, he gets his reluctant partner,

Arnold Crouch, to close the sale for him. Things go

awry when Harry plans to buy the mink for his OWN

mistress and soon Gilbert’s whole plan goes

‘literally’ out of the window. The unexpected arrival

of Gilbert’s wife, Maude, adds to the confusion of

mistaken identities, scantily clad women kept hidden

in closets and other misguided shoppers which all

add a lot of fun to this fast paced comedy.

Main Roles:

GILBERT BODLEY: An extrovert, cool,

confident, devious ladies man; Age 40–50

MAUDE BODLEY: His wife, sophisticated;

Age 40s

ARNOLD CROUCH: The ‘junior’ partner. A

confirmed batchelor (only because he doesn’t

know how to handle women). The key role in the

play as he takes the brunt of everything that goes

on. A very energetic part; Age 40-60

MISS TIPDALE: The loyal secretary. Plain

looking. Has a secret ‘crush’ on Arnold. Age 40+

HARRY McMICHAEL: Businessman; Age 35–50

JANIE McMICHAEL: His wife. Younger, sexy –

Age 25-35

SUE LAWSON: Harry’ secretary. Raunchy.

Busty; Age 20-30

Smaller/Cameo Roles:

COMMANDER FRENCHAM: Several short

appearances throughout play, Age 60-80

MRS FRENCHAM: Several short appearances

throughout play; Age 55-70

MR LAWSON: Sue’s husband; Age 25-35

AUDITION

When I joined BLTC over 20 years ago, it wasactually made up of three parts:

1. The Club, founded back in 1919 which put onplays and decided how much to charge for seats.Members of the Club Committee operated entirelyseparately from members of . . . . . .

2. The Company (Bournemouth Little TheatreLimited), which was a private limited company setup at the end of the ’twenties to build and operatethe Club’s very own theatre building down in thetown centre; after this had had to be sold in theearly ’seventies the company lived on as theproperty arm of the group and held the lease at ourpresent home in Jameson Road. It also had to payannual dividends to holders of its share capital.Lastly there was . . . . . .

3. The Green Room Club which held the drinkslicence: only Club members could join and all Clubmembers had to join.

This multiple set-up was mildly confusing: as onemember of the Club Committee once said to me“We just don’t know what is going on!!!!!” It wasnot until 1992 that the club and the Companyjoined forces to create what we have now, which is‘Bournemouth Little Theatre Club Limited’, aprivate company limited by guarantee, regulatedby Companies House, and which is also a registeredcharity (number 1019571).

This development means that our present Club isnow regulated by the terms of its formal‘Memorandum and Articles of Association’ (writtenin fine legal English). There have to be at least threemembers; as the company has no capital but is‘limited by guarantee’, in the unlikely event of thecompany having to be wound up, each memberguarantees to contribute a maximum of £1 perhead.

The Company is run by its Council (or, to you andme in the vernacular, its Committee). The maximumnumber of members is 12, and the minimum three.At each AGM one third of its members longest inoffice retires but may be re-elected if they choose tostand. At the AGM the Council give members arun-down of what has happened during the year,

and it is up to members to have their say;(nowhere in the Articles are non-Councilmembers authorised to interfere with therunning of the club during the year by, say,demanding sight of Council minutes). At thefirst meeting after each AGM Council memberschoose the Chairman and assign other duties.People can and do go on doing the same dutiesif they are elected.

As the Council runs the Club it is importantthat all Council members should have some sortof a useful job to do (although they can servewithout having a specific job), but not allpeople doing useful jobs will want to sitformally on the Council.

As we are running a business it is up to theChairman to see that things are being properlyrun, and to intervene as necessary. The Secretaryneeds to keep records, the Treasurer to keep theaccounts; the Premises Supervisor has to be incharge of all matters concerning the licensingof the theatre. This job also involves passing anofficial test of suitability because we sell alcohol.

Other jobs that require looking after includemembership records, publicity, social matters,ticket sales, bar stocking, choosing plays fornext season, premises management, whichincludes electrics, plumbing, storage, costumesand props. There is also our affiliation with theLittle Theatre Guild. Who does what mustdepend very largely on who is prepared to dowhat, and some jobs like publicity whichembraces newsletters, posters, mailing lists andwebsite are sufficiently complex to requireseveral people to act.

During the run of each production people needto be appointed each night to run the bar, docoffees and act as Front of House.

ppppppppppp

I hope you all found this as interesting as I did.The next issue will contain an article aboutHugh’s duties as Committee Secretary.

HOW DOES THE CLUB WORK?

I was interested in the organisation and structure of the club and how it had emerged from itsorigins in 1919 to the present day. Hugh Norris, who is the current secretary, very kindlysupplied me with the following information:

ppppppppppppppp

When I previously interviewed Les he said hefound he had so many ideas for plays thatwriting one acts was the best way for him toexpress himself. I wondered how difficult hehad found it to expand You’re in Room Eight toa full length play. Fortunately he found it wasn’treally that difficult because he already had twogood characters well established from theOne-Act – Derek and Lyn, the landlord andlandlady, whom he used to link the scenestogether. All he then had to do was to get twoother couples to stay in the room on differentdays, and there was the play! So it was just likewriting two more One-Act plays really, as eachact tells a complete story about the coupleswho stay in the room.

Les has had great success performing this playin festivals so I asked him why he had wantedto alter the format. He pointed out that hehasn’t altered the format of the original play assuch. The play still works as a One-Act, whichis ideal for Festivals etc, but he thought it wouldalso work well as a full-length play. He hasmerely extended his original idea.

I queried Les’s decision to accept the Septemberslot for a production requiring eight actors asit is notoriously difficult to cast people torehearse in the summer months ! I wondered ifhe had particular actors in mind and whetherhe wrote for a specific actor. He responded ‘Ireadily admit I didn’t realise how many otherproductions would be rehearsing or actuallyperforming around the same time as ours. It’swell into double figures, so yes I’ve had easiertasks to perform! I did have one actor in mindfor the role of Derek, who like everyone elsestill had to read for the part, and luckily he gotit! Having read some of my plays with theactor in question last year, I have now writtena play especially for him which we may wellperform in the festivals next year. It’s all rather

dependent on who else is available at thetime to perform the other roles. But that wasa first for me writing for a specific actor.’

I wondered, as an actress myself, how Leswent about getting his actors to interprethis work as he wanted. Some directorsencourage their actors to improvise andeven alter the dialogue if the actor finds itmore natural to use other words. While Lesdoes not encourage actors to improvise, hedoes always listen to ideas ‘from the floor’.Occasionally he has changed a line if theactor couldn’t find the ‘tempo of thesentence’. He once had to omit a word, nota swear word, but a word an actress totallyrefused to say!

Les does not have the blocking set beforerehearsals begin. The actors have to be atthe ‘books down’ stage before he starts tomove them around. He does not find theactors can move or behave in character whilethey still need their scripts in their hands.

Some actors do a great deal of research ontheir characters such as building an entireback story. Les, however, feels that if youwant to know your character, learn thelines! because it is all there in the text.

I recalled a tool I had been given at dramaschool where you decide which animal mostresembles your character. You then bringthat animal’s characteristics into yourperformance. Les had very strong views asto using this method. ‘Most certainly not! Ithink suggestions like that are rubbish. (Nodisrespect intended) That method may workfor others but not for me. James Cagney said:“There’s only two things to know aboutacting. Say what you mean, and mean whatyou say.” I’d go along with that more thananimals!’ > > >

I published an article in the August edition of the newsletterin 2008 after interviewing Les Clarke but I thought readersmight be interested in the questions I put to him concerninghis directing his own play ‘You’re in Room Eight’ as theopening play in the 2009–10 BLTC Season.

From the Publicity Desk

Hello to all  you  Little Theatrelovers !!

Well, I can hardly wait for thestart of our new season of plays,and what a wonderful selectionit is. I saw the first play You’rein Room Eight as a One-Act

version when it was in the semi-finals of The AllEngland One-Act Play Festival last year. This wasat The Hub Theatre in Verwood, and sadly RoomEight missed out by one mark for a place in the Final.I’m really looking forward to seeing this full-lengthproduction of what was a very funny play.

Here in the Publicity Department we’ve beentargeting other local theatres to take the postersand flyers of our future plays. So a quick thank youto our friends at Pelhams in Kinson, the Tivoli inWimborne, the Regent Centre in Christchurch, andalso the Lighthouse in Poole.

More good news is that the lovely VirginiaHarrington will be starting our Acting Workshopsagain in the Little Theatre Club every Wednesdayat 7.30pm from September 16th. How wonderful tobe able to learn all about the different aspects ofthe theatre just for a contribution towards the cost of  your mug of tea or coffee. What a bargain to behad in Jameson Road, Winton. New members arealways most welcome.

An extra challenge for me now is to pop up toBrighton and get Frankie, my grandson, into atheatre as soon as possible. Does anybody have anysuggestions what a five year old would enjoywatching on the stage now, this is obviously somemonths before the panto season starts.

Anyway, I hope to see you in our Little Theatrevery soon.

Mike Bicknell

I know Les has had a successful career as astand up comic and actor before he startedwriting so I thought it would be interestingto know if now he is on the other side of thefence so to speak he ever gets frustrated withactors when they do not interpret the roles ashe envisaged them when he wrote the play.

He admitted to this but found it was mainlybecause sometimes he knew the actor coulddo a much better job but that they could notfor whatever reason concentrate and focuson the character. He felt it was a case of ‘lifegetting in the way of rehearsals’ andunfortunately this stopped some actors frombeing able to escape reality and become thecharacters they were supposed to beportraying.

I’m sure all you BLTC newsletter readers wouldlike to join me in thanking Les for giving us a bitmore of an insight into the work that goes intoproducing and directing a play. Ed

Glan gradually becameinterested in amateurdramatics when overthe years he went tosee the odd amateur

production. He generally enjoyed these but neverconsidered getting involved! Then his interestwas strengthened about two and a half years agowhen finally he took the plunge and helped outon a couple of amateur productions. He enjoyedthis experience but was left feeling there werebetter ways of doing things and started to lookaround at the other Amdram companies. Lackingacting experience, Glan decided he was moreinterested in the technical side, particularly as heenjoyed making things.

He decided to join B.L.T.C. after he attended anevening which was an introduction to ‘Knowingyour Theatre’. He met several members andfound them friendly and encouraging. He neededno further prompting and joined there and then.So far he has worked on every production since!He still goes to see other companies but believeswe mainly outshine them!

I thought newsletter readers might be interested in finding outabout one of our very active members, Glanville Noye, who has been

a member of BLTC for about two and a half years.

ppppppppppppppp

MEMBER PROFILE – GLANVILLE NOYE

Glan made his acting debut in Virginia Harring-ton’s workshop production of J.B. Priestley’s TheRose and Crown. He found he was very nervous atthe dress rehearsal as there was a larger audiencethan he had anticipated. This was followed by avery nervous first night but by the second nighthe had started to enjoy himself.

Glan feels actors should try and help out on allaspects of the production although admits if theydidn’t want to it might be less than helpful. Heparticularly feels the entire cast should help withthe set strike. He wonders at some actors simplydisappearing at the end of a production and notbeing seen again until they audition for another part.

So far Glan has found She Loves You the mostdifficult production he has worked on but even sothey were a great cast and crew who all pulledtogether.

I know Glan is interested in serving on thecommittee in the near future and I am sure we willall benefit from his enthusiasm and skills. Onceagain Virginia Harrington’s workshop, whichGlan attended, has nurtured another valuablemember for BLTC.
