Murphy's Lesser Known Laws

 

1. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

2. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

3. Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't.

4. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

5. The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong.

6. If you lined up all the cars in the world end to end, someone would be stupid enough to try to pass them, five or six at a time, on a curved hill, in the fog.

7. The things that come to those who wait will be the scraggly junk left by those who got there first.

8. The shinbone is a device for finding furniture in a dark room.

9. A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.

10. When you go to court, you are putting yourself into the hands of twelve people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty

Cold Comform Farm

The schedule for Cold Comfort Farm is:

 

10 July - reading and discussion (Red Room in the Centre)

17 July - auditions (Red Room in the Centre)

22 July - production meeting (venue tba)

 

24, 25, 26 Oct - set build weekend
30, 31 Oct, 1 Nov - production dates

 

The play has a large cast and a chorus and a few extras, covering a wide range of ages and, with the exception of the leading lady, non of the roles is large or daunting.  However, they all look great fun with plenty of chances to ham it up.  As well as the acting this is a technically challenging play - lots of lighting and sound effects, lots of props, assorted 1930's costume and make up, interesting sets with cows on the stage, etc.  With such a lot going on we will need everyone in the group involved.
