By Alan Ayckbourn
13/07/27 - 17/07/27
Small-town theatre has never been so gloriously chaotic.
A Chorus of Disapproval is a brilliantly funny comedy of ambition, romance and amateur dramatics gone spectacularly off key. When shy widower Guy Jones joins the local operatic society in the hope of meeting new people, he quickly finds himself swept into a whirlwind of backstage rivalries, tangled love affairs and theatrical egos larger than the stage itself.
As rehearsals for The Beggar’s Opera descend into comic confusion, Guy’s unexpected rise through the company sparks jealousy, temptation and chaos both onstage and off. With razor sharp wit and perfectly observed characters, Alan Ayckbourn delivers a deliciously mischievous portrait of small town life and the dramas that unfold behind the curtain.
Packed with laughter, music and gloriously awkward moments, A Chorus of Disapproval is a joyful celebration of community theatre in all its messy, heartfelt brilliance. Whether you’ve ever trodden the boards or simply watched from the audience, this irresistible comedy will strike all the right notes.
