The four ladies of The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen’s<br />
Guild Dramatic Society are a force to be reckoned with. The sheer scale of<br />
their ambition in mounting “Murder at Checkmate Manor” is only matched<br />
by their overwhelming confidence in their abilities to master all fourteen<br />
parts.<br />
Even though Gordon, their stage manager, nobly steps into the breach at<br />
the last minute their production is blighted by a series of disasters.<br />
The play is set in the drawing room of Checkmate Manor. The family<br />
gathers for the reading of the will of the late Sir Reginald Bishop. However<br />
someone else has designs on the Checkmate millions and will stop at<br />
nothing to get them. A string of grisly murders ensues where everyone<br />
has a motive and everyone is a suspect in a classic whodunnit farce.<br />
The crunch comes in the denouement when the murderer is about to be<br />
revealed. Luckily Mrs Reece, doyenne of the group, can be relied upon to<br />
save the day with a final twist to the plot. Sit back, sympathise and enjoy!<br />
Why not enjoy a superb two course dinner ahead of visiting the theatre<br />
to watch Congleton Players in action at Bojangles Brasserie in central<br />

Following the tremendous success of “Sister Act”, CMT are re-telling the popular<br />
tale of Dr Henry Jekyll, a devoted man of science and also a high-profile cancer<br />
specialist, who is determined to make a chemical breakthrough that will solve<br />
mankind’s most challenging medical uncertainties. As he seeks to strive for his<br />
aim, Jekyll’s controversial research results in the creation of an unintentional<br />
strain of drug that entirely alters a person’s personality. Becoming the subject of<br />
his own experimental treatments, Jekyll accidentally unleashes his ultimate inner<br />
demon in the process. Meet the infamous Mr Hyde!

The musical tells the story of a young orphan who mistakenly<br />
crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole.<br />
The would-be elf is given the name Buddy and raised by elves in<br />
the North Pole. Buddy lives happily unaware that he is actually a<br />
human until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause<br />
him to face the truth. With Santa’s permission, Buddy embarks on<br />
a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his<br />
true identity. Faced with the harsh reality that his father is on the<br />
naughty list, and his stepbrother doesn’t even believe in Santa.<br />
Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York<br />
remember the true meaning of the holidays.<br />

A party of assorted railway travellers find themselves stranded in the<br />
waiting room of an isolated country station in the evening. The Station<br />
Master tries to get them to leave the site as he is closing the station for<br />
the night.<br />
Given their reluctance to go, and after they’ve refused his order (citing<br />
the lack of alternative accommodation for them within several miles), he<br />
warns them of a threat, if they remain, from the supernatural danger of a<br />
spectral old railway carriage train, the ghost of one that fatally wrecked in<br />
the locality several years before, that sometimes haunts the particular line<br />
they are now on at night, which brings death upon all those who set eyes<br />
on it. Incredulous of his story they still refuse to leave, and he departs<br />
leaving them facing a fateful night on the station …<br />

THE STANDARD THEATRE TICKET<br />
Presented by Pinked Floyd<br />
This seven-piece tribute band,<br />
based in Oldham, has been thrilling<br />
audiences all over the North West<br />
with their engaging and energetic<br />
performance celebrating the<br />
magical music of Pink Floyd. They<br />
have been especially praised for<br />
the accuracy of their performance<br />
based on the studio versions of<br />
music spanning the entire output<br />
of the Floyd from early days, with<br />
firm favourites Dark Side, Wish<br />
You Were Here, Animals and The Wall particularly featured. The music<br />
is enhanced by a fabulous light-show including Floyd’s distinctive circular<br />
screen. Led by front-man Russell’s “incredibly accurate” vocal, supported<br />
by Andrea’s astonishing vocals especially on Great Gig, attention to detail<br />
is the bye-word for Luke (keyboards and effects), drummer Lee, Jack on<br />
bass, and Harry (guitar and sax), while Alan was described as “blowing the<br />
crowd away with his jaw-dropping solo that the audience were still gasping<br />
and chattering about as they left the theatre” (QuaysNews)<br />
