A Slice of Saturday Night 2008

STORY

It's Saturday night at the provincial "Club A-Go-Go" and the blokes and birds are on the pull. The girls, chalk-faced and pale lipped are desperate to look like Twiggy, Sandy Shaw or Dusty Springfield, the lads, would-be Beatles.

However, beneath the girls' skimpy Mary Quant copied dresses beat virginal Barbara Cartland hearts, while inside the lads' hipster trousers lurk the impulses which have driven adolescents to distraction since the dawn of time. 

Watched over by ageing rocker Eric (Rubber-legs) De Vere, the club's seen-it-all, done-it-all owner, we follow them as they wend their way through teenage sexual mores as rigid and predictable as any New Guinea tribesman's initiation rights.

REVIEWS

"We booked tickets to see The 60's Musical comedy A Slice of Saturday Night performed by Ehos (an amateur drama group who rehearse in Cheshunt).

For about half an hour before the play started the band were playing and the actor who played the disco's bouncer was acting out his character  whilst chatting to the  theatre audience.  Once the play started I had a big grin on my face which stayed in place throughout the evening. The play was really funny and the singing was really good. During the break the cast were still acting out their parts whilst mingling with the audience in the bar. To read about the play and see the photos go to the Ehos website : http://www.ehos.co.uk/

What a great night out both nights and excellent value for money as the tickets were only £7.50 each!"
