The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen’s Guild Dramatic Society ladies mount yet another assault on the classics with a startlingly original production of Macbeth staged to get them to the Welwyn Garden City Finals.

Under the carefully mascara’d eye of adjudicator George Peach, all events conspire hilariously against them.

Parts for 3 men and 7 women. Ages vary but must be suitable for belonging to Townswomen’s Guild.

  • Mrs Reece – chairman of the society
  • Gwyneth – the pianist (think Les Dawson).
