Trivial Pursuits – Gallery

John and Peter proving that Am
Dram isn’t all about glamour.

With a Director like this you want to get it right.

Nick (John Plunkett) has a play to put on, and a cast to choose. Who will win the lead role?

Teddy (Paul Stothard) and Joyce (Bryony
Worthy) steady themselves with some
Dutch courage.

Nick checks out Deidre’s new young man.

More Dutch courage – this would never happen really.

Derek (Paul Underwood) is devastated by his impending divorce from Deirdre and thinks it might be best to end it all.

Maybe Eddie can supply the method….

Pearl (Eleanor Shepherd), the Operatic
Society’s treasurer is concerned by the lack of finances.

And Nick sees an opportunity to exploit Derek’s misery.

Eddie seems unusually keen to get the TV working.

My, what a big tool belt.

The party host was Roz (Jo Ezzy) who remained blissfully unaware of most of the shenanigans going on.

Poor old Teddy got his fingers burnt – literally – carrying off the barbecue.

Deirdre seemed to rather enjoy helping
Teddy undo his flies.

Pearl tries to show that she’s still got it, despite the slow and steady liver-pickling.

Nick backs himself in to a corner, he’s promised the lead role to more than one person.

Will he side with Derek – who gave him a handsome packet – or Jessica (Fliss
Dyndor) – who told him he already had one!

Derek finally takes the plunge – from the roof.

I can’t look… is he…

The cast break out in to rousing rendition of “If They Could See Me Now”. Some of the audience thought they were cleverly singing in rounds, but this became less evident by the Saturday performance.
