BAROQUE Theatre Company will perform their acclaimed production Comedy Triple Bill at the Cotswold Playhouse in Stroud in May.

The Comedy Triple Bill features three short plays in one hilarious evening of fast-paced performances from an all female cast and audiences can expect an evening of laughs of West End quality as they follow the characters’ journey through each play.

The evening will kick off with Last Tango in Little Grimley, a chaotic comedy of extraordinary home-grown drama in which an amateur dramatic society facing closure fights for survival.

The second play,  A Jolly Sinister Jape by writer Elliot Strange,  is a pastiche 1920's thriller with the protagonists stuck in a mysterious house during a thunderstorm, is it just a jape or is there something more sinister afoot?

The evening ends with David Tristram’s Last Panto in Little Grimley, a sequel to Last Tango in Little Grimley. Last Panto features the same incompetent characters. The society members tackle the Christmas Pantomime with predictable riotous results. It's Dick Whittington...but not as you know it!

Baroque Theatre Company Founder Claire Bibby said: “We’re so looking forward to taking these hilarious plays to some really exciting venues reaching audiences across England.

“This is Baroque Theatre Company’s 16th tour and I’m particularly excited this year that the playwright David Tristram has given permission for Adam Morley, our artistic director, to adapt the dialogue for the all female cast.”

Adam Morley, Artistic Director said: “After seven years of audience and company growth and 16 UK tours Baroque Theatre Company and I are delighted to return to our comedy roots.

“I’m especially honoured to revive this hugely successful Comedy Triple Bill bringing to the stage a show in the mould of a classic British Sitcom and a homage to the greats of UK comedy including Fawlty Towers, The Vicar of Dibley, Open All Hours and Only Fools and Horses.  Sit back and enjoy.”
