We can now reveal the confirmed production for June 2016. It is the comedy, A Chorus of Disapproval by Alan Ayckbourne and it is to be presented at The Assembly Rooms, Ludlow the week commencing 13 June.

A diffident widower attempts to escape loneliness by joining

the local amateur light operatic society. By accident rather than

design (in fact, by not saying “no” to anything be it a request to

obtain confidential information from his company or an offer of

illicit sex) he advances from a small part to the lead. Parallels

are drawn between The Beggar’s Opera and the day to day

activities of the society which is performing it.

” A brilliance and invention remarkable even by his standards”  (Financial Times)

“Symmetrically shaped, psychologically acute and painfully, heart breakingly funny” (Guardian)
