Stags and Hens
Chortle Theatre Group
Chortle Theatre Group from Kilmarnock were formed in 2002 with the aim of giving young actors a chance to perform on stage and in particular brining them to the Fringe and less than one year later they have succeeded in this aim.
This enthusiastic young company breathe some Scottish life into this Willy Russell play set in and around the toilets of a pub during the night that a stag night and the same weddings hen night opt for the same venue for their 'final flings.'
Linda the bride to be leads her group of friends to a pub where her ex, now a pop star is performing. It appears that not everything in the wedding garden is rosy and as drink and emotions kick in problems arise.
In this production directed by Robin Osman there are some excellent performances, the two that stood out for me were those of Kylie Dunlop playing Bernie ad Jack Pugh as Kav.
So does Linda get married? The answer can be obtained by going to this show and encouraging young talent, and get an excellent performance into the bargain.
