Saturday 7 March saw the first read-through of our new production - Michael Palin and Terry Jones' "Ripping Yarns", adapted for stage by nailing some planks to it and adding a hinge to the Y. With an ensemble cast of sixteen, we are attempting three gripping tales - "Murder at Moorstones Manor", "Across the Andes by Frog" and "The Testing of Eric Olthwaite".
This classic BBC series is reckoned to be one of the strongest comedies of it's time - and judging by the enthusiasm and delivery at the reading, MKTOC are set to more than do it justice!
We'll continue to blog as we progress - prepare yourself for murder, shovels and Anuraie!
