COMEDY Clerical Errors opens at the Victoria Hall tonight — and say the cast and crew it is a production 'not to be missed'.

Theatre company Victoria Hall Amateur Dramatic Society had hoped to bring Georgina Reid's play to the stage last year.

Dawn Hargreaves from the theatre company said: "We are thrilled to be able to present this play this year. Unfortunately, last year threw up quite a few problems for us and we were unable to stage this play, but now we have a fantastic cast who have worked hard to perform this wonderful drama."

The story centres around the Briggs family.

They are down on their luck, they have run out of money and when threatened with eviction set up temporary home in a disused Methodist church building.

The chapel's Methodist Minister discovered a side to him he never thought existed when he’s confronted with the bizarre behaviour and unconventional lifestyle of the family.

Hannah Park, plays Julie, an outspoken, tough young lady who is trying her best to keep the family together.

Her brother, Pete, played by Anthony Johnson, is somewhat childlike in manner, but not in appearance.

Dawn said: "Both Hannah and Anthony performed in the Pantomime, Babes in the Wood, this year for their first venture out with Victoria Hall ADS and now they bring their enthusiasm and talent to their first ever play.

"Alongside Hannah and Anthony is Katie Barnes who plays Sylvia, the Ministers wife. Although Katie has appeared for a number of years in the pantomimes, this is her first attempt at a play. All three have enjoyed, and risen, very commendably to the challenge and their roles.

"The rest of the cast have fulfilled their share of enthusiasm and flair for the stage and have proven their ability and desire to put on a good show."

Dawn added: "This really is a play not to be missed. If you do then you will have missed a true delight."

The play opens tonight at 7.15pm and runs until Saturday, May 19.

Tickets are £7 and £4 concessions. For tickets ring 01204 845493 or email info@victoriahallsads.com.

The Victoria Hall box office is open on Tuesday and Thursdays from 10a, to 2pm and Saturdays 10am to noon.
