AN amateur drama group has thanked all involved in its recent production.
A spokesman from Curdridge Amateur Drama Group said: “Nothing breeds success like success, as they say, and packed houses meant just that. Performing at their traditional home, The Reading Rooms Curdridge, for the much-awaited play by Peter Gordon, A Secondary Cause of Death proved the point. Plenty of laughs, mystery and a mixture of Foyles War and ‘Ello, Ello’.
“Indebted to Curdridge Parish Council for providing funds for a notice board, all those who use the facilities at and near the Reading Rooms will soon be kept right-up-to-date with the club's ambitious plans for the future. This means they will need extra producers, directors, stage designers and those with experience in lighting, music, and many more. 
“On our website click on ‘backstage’ for further details and see what you can do for our next (March 22-24) production of Home I’m Darling by Laura Wade.”
