Every
town in Britain elects a Village Idiot, it is now the turn of
Haslemere to choose theirs. The current idiot Cedrick (Geoff Lee) is
a member of the Slapstick Guild and is standing for re-election.
The candidate for the Wordplay Guild is Amy (Rachel Wood) who
is fully expected to win.
As
with any election there are undercurrents and plots on both sides
but none expects the two protagonists to fall in love
This
is an extremely well written piece of musical theatre fairly old
school as in Gilbert and Sulivan-esque. One of the constants with
this company is the consistently excellent vocal talent of the
casts. It is a joy to be in the audience for this show.
