A Serious Farce
Thu 24 Apr 2025 8:00 PM - Sat 26 Apr 2025 BST
Alma Tavern and Theatre, BS82HY
Description
A mysterious thriller? A comedy? A Whodunnit? Think Glass Onions meets Tarantino with just a smattering of comedy and you still won't quite know what this is.
The situation is comical but the stakes are high and it's no laughing matter. If this is a comedy then it's a strange one. Will the thief from an unknown Eastern European region succeed or die? Will the fraudulent banker part with his ill-gotten wealth? Does the gilded brother-in-law drink all the booze!? And can anyone fix the bloody boiler? And what will the vicar make of Darth Vader and Princess Leia? Let's just hope his wife doesn't come home!
Set in one room, there are twists and turns (and obviously a game of poker) as a set of eccentric eclectic characters find themselves holed up for the weekend.
All tickets include a £1 admin charge
Approx running time 1 hour 30
