Quarriers Ladies Lunch
Kilmacolm Dramatic Society
We are thrilled to announce our Spring Production 2017 will be
‘QUARTET’ by Ronald Harwood.
This play is about three ageing opera singers Cissy, Reginald and
Wilfred who often worked together during their active careers, but
are now in a retirement home for musicians. Their peace is soon
to be shattered by the arrival of Jean. Jean was a huge star in her
time and was once unhappily married to Reginald. Is there any chance that
the four will ever sing together again? Do they even want to? Can they do it?
This is a lovely play, warm, witty, very funny and not without some “tough”
moments as it looks at the ageing process in general. It was made into a film
starring Pauline Collins, Billy Connolly, Maggie Smith and Tom Courtenay which
you may be familiar with and we are sure you will all enjoy the KDS production
starring John Gilchrist, Jean Simpson, John Watson, Claire McClatchie and
directed by Alison Holliman.
‘Quartet’ will be performed on 27th, 28th & 29th April in the Kidston Hall,
Kilmacolm. Please put the dates in your diary.
Growing Old is Compulsory, but Growing Up is Optional. Perhaps this might give
us an insight as to what really goes in those lounges in our local Retirement
Homes!
