The Napoleon Complex

Those of us with Sky tv may like to tune in on Tuesday to that celebrated channel OH tv, ( channel 199, in case you'd forgotten ) at 10 PM to watch our very own Napoleon Ryan in a show modestly entitled "The Napoleon Complex". It also features the ubiquitous Mr. Gambrell.

Episode 2 follows two days later, on November 5th at 11pm
Episode 3 is on November 7th at 7pm, with the final episode at 11pm the same night.

Crazy scheduling or what?

Anyway, here's a preview.

The AGM

No show this Monday. Instead, it's the usual sight of angry shareholders taking the microphone and complaining about fatcat chairmen, overpaid secretaries, and undeserved bonuses.

Or even, your chance to congratulate those who deserve it, and, if there are any problems and defects, helpfully suggest remedies.

The Showcase Must Go On

Here's the latest, in case you didn't know: the Autumn Showcase has now become the Winter Showcase and is still being held at the King's Head, but has been moved to December, on the 7th. So pencil that in your diary.

The Crooked Road to Paris

As has fast become the norm this term, next week's scheduled programme has been changed. Instead of Breakfast on the Med, a double bill of stage plays, we have The Crooked Road to Paris, a screenplay.

Still, it's the same writer, the esteemed Peter McKelvey who explains:

"THE CROOKED ROAD TO PARIS is a 70 minute film storyline. It is set in 1947 in Sussex. A young hitch-hiker loses her way and finds the unexpected in the form of a man who finds himself. No bonking, no car chases, few expletives but thrills galore".

Oh well. You can't have everything. Be there.

The Showcase has been Postponed

Unfortunate news. Owing to a double booking, our Showcase which was planned for the first of November has had to be delayed. We don't yet know when or where, but if a solution is found, rest assured that you will be the first to know.

Pride and Prejudice

Some of you will have read the book. Some will have seen the tv series. But have any of you seen in on stage?
Here's your chance. Fresh from writing a play about Jane Austen's love life, and seeing it produced a couple of year's back, and published by Samuel French, one of the our finest legal mind's Joanna Norland has returned to P-P to bring us her own interpretation on Ms Austen's most acclaimed novel. If you don't own a tv, haven't got an old Everyman mouldering away dust at the bottom of your bookcase, then for an hour and a half of your time, this may well turn out to be the definitive version. Who will be Darcy? Who will be Lizzy? Come along on Monday to find out.

End Days

Next Monday, 12th October sees a new play by Tony Killaspy. It's been a while since Tony last gave us a play. In fact so long ago was it I'm not sure I was even a member back then. At any rate, I've read the new one, and it's about... well I don't want to spoil it. But the clue is in the title. I think I can say, though, that it's about a threat that doesn't get much media coverage now, which is odd considering what it's about.

But what is it about? Come along on Monday, and find out.
