Taunton Thespians – Holiday Snap

The Taunton Thespians are preparing for sunshine, laughter and holiday hi-jinks in their March production of the hilarious farce Holiday Snap by Michael Pertwee and John Chapman.

This comic tale of mistaken identity unfolds with real wit and style. A Portuguese time share villa has been double booked without the knowledge of the company representative, myopic tippler Commander “Chitto” Chittenden. When Mary and Henry arrive in search of a romantic get-away, closely followed by love-birds Eve and Leslie, Chitto manages to remain unaware that there is more than one couple on the scene. The arrival of Celia, Perky and Kit adds to the confusion and fun in this high energy, fast-moving romp.

Director Dave Goodall has a sure hand with comedy: his last production with the Taunton Thespians was the popular classic Arsenic and Old Lace. Dave’s cast for Holiday Snap includes Thespians favourites Anne Dowsey, Rob Smith, Clare Fidler, mast ward and Lizzie Knighton and welcomes talented new members Gill Campbell and Will O’Neill.
