It Runs In The Family
A farce by Ray Cooney
Set in a hospital, It Runs in the Family contains the usual assortment of farcical nuts running in and out of doors mistaking everybody for someone else, as Dr. Mortimore tries to fend off a paternity suit, an ex wife, a punkish son and various other lunatics so that he may, at last, deliver the Ponsonby Lecture in an international conference.

Past productions
Our last production was Albert Nobbs.
It was one of the more contraversial shows we have staged. Andy Potter wrote in the Derby Evening Telegraph:
It’s encouraging to find a company that’s prepared to push some boundaries and be rewarded for it.
Join us
We meet every Wednesday at 7.30pm in the drama studio at Murray Park School for a spot of rehearsing and a very brief production meeting over coffee. Afterwards, we inevitably end up at the pub.

Each year we stage a full-length play and a pantomime, and sometimes put on a third production, as we are doing this year. If you would like to act, then make a lot of noise until the director asks you to read. Even if you do not get a part, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to read in, or help behind the scenes (this is always greatly appreciated). Don’t take it too seriously (we don’t), join in as much as you can, and above all have a cool and groovy time (as someone once said).
Please ask if there is anything you want to know. With the exception of the director (who is always grumpy and looks more bemused than anyone else), we are a friendly crowd and will be delighted to help.
As well as plays we also have a good social programme of theatre trips, meals and Parties!
If you are interested in joining Mickleover Players, either to perform or help out behind the scenes, please email us and a member of the group will contact you shortly. Include your phone number if you’d prefer us to give you a ring (it’s so much more friendly than this electronic stuff!)
