He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day. Alla fair in love and war, and certainly the Balkan States have seen their fair share of both, nothing changes except the cut of the uniforms. Love blossoms in the shadows of the canons. Following the recent unrest in the Slavic States, this piece from Mr. Shaw deserves a revival as its themes are eternal. The story of the Chocolate Cream Soilder is as new and fresh as spring flowers and as old as the hills on which they dance. Two couples spin in the eternal dance of love, which suitor will she favour? Only, coming from the pen of G.B.S, the story is laced with satire, the soilders quake at the approach of.....not their Generals, but the Generals wives. A professional soilder carries not bullets in his pockets but chocolate. This production has been slightly updated, but incase you find the idea of a cavalry charge anachronistic, remember that the Polish Army through the horse cavalry against German tanks in 1939.

Like to put up posters?
No specific skills required, training on the job will be given, do not hide your light under a bushel, all donations gratefully received. Tell us about it, do not keep these desires to yourselves. We all had to start somewhere, let this be the year that you came out of the technical closet. Do you have a friend who wants to act? Tell us about them, bring them along, no reasonable offer of help refused. All they may get the first season is as a spear carrier or someones maid, but we all started this way.
HOWEVER, all of the above involve hard work, we put on each three act play in, usually, five weeks, we rehearse two nights a week and on Sundays. The week of the run and often the previous week you will be out everynight, also you will be asked to help on the setting up weekend, there is something for everyone to do, washing down flats, painting, carpentry, even washing up the coffee cups is a help.
