Ladies Who Lunch - Gainford Drama Club
Apr 15, 2010
GAINFORD Drama Club recently took to the stage at The Academy Theatre, Gainford with the production of ‘Ladies Who Lunch' by Tudor Gates. This intriguing story tells of three ladies in different parts of the world, who all know each other as their husbands are among the world's richest men. Despite living in London, New York and Sydney the ladies meet for lunch on a regular basis to discuss their charity work - Save Our Starving. Amelia, played by Diana Peat, based in England develops a scheme to play the stock market using inside knowledge they pick up from their husbands to raise a hundred million pounds for their charity. Rachel, played by Susannah Carroll, based in New York and Joane, played by Jane Louise Graham, based in Sydney apprehensively go along with the plan. Investigations begin and the plan doesn't have the outcome they were expecting.
The set was excellent and transported the audience smoothly around the world. There were a number of prompts on the night I attended, which was a shame, but these can easily be forgiven for the otherwise solid performances throughout. I am certainly looking forward to the next production by Gainford Drama Club.
