Can anyone tell me, if the 'Algarveans' theatre co. is still operating in Algarve?
I used to see them advertised in 'The News' I think. But haven't had the paper for some time.
I remember --when we were resident---talking to Geraldine of Smilers about them --I believe she was a member of the group and at that time was appearing in a Christmas show.
I only ask--as I wonder if there will be any plays on during our May holidays?
Anyone have any idea please?
Thanks

----Ellie

yes they are still going...perform mostly in lagos..but sadly those that renovated the theatre didnt put in correct drains..hence the dressing rooms are flooded with sewage....gives a new meaning to a stinking performance

shouldn't laugh really Martin. Why do such mistakes happen though? All that money literally down the drain pardon the pun which is a total waste.....oops! Trying to be serious tonight but still laughing at Gerry's heating solution for Charles

You are still laughing Pammie,
The vision of you, over an ironing board keeps getting in the way
of my watching Emmerdale?
Just a pity I'm too small for such shenanigans, although was surprised by a police officer in a car park in my younger days

Now come on girls, you mean to say that you have never known the thrill of a policeman's torch shining in your face

Ah--now I get it!
Tricky --that brought back a memory (or 2)------a policeman's torch mmm?
Once in Hyde Park (or was it St James?) -------and another time --its all coming back to me ------a dark corner-- and "allo allo --whats going on 'ere then?"

Tricky, the last policeman I knew let me feel his truncheon, never saw any torch but the handcuffs were on offer

Pammie, did you ask him what he keeps under his hat? and did you surrender quietly?
