LATEST NEWS
18 November 2018 - The Play That Goes Wrong
A group of ES members enjoyed our latest theatre outing, to see the slapstick comedy The Play That Goes Wrong at the Duchess Theatre in London.
The story of a group of accident-prone amateur actors, desperately trying to get to the end of a 1920s murder mystery, has proved to be very popular and is now in its fourth year.
Normally we show a picture of our group outside the theatre but, in the spirit of the play, it was The Photoshoot That Goes Wrong. Everybody had gone inside while John Thornley was patiently waiting outside with his camera.
So he took a picture of the theatre awning instead.
