Crieff Drama date nears - and they only have pies for you

- LYNN DUKE

Crieff Drama Group has confirmed its next offering.

A lunchtime rendition of‘A Performanc­e, a Pie and a Pint’will take place on Sunday, February 13, from 12.30pm in Strarthear­n Arts’ auditorium.

Tickets are on sale now, priced at £10.

And, as the title suggests, the fee includes a complement­ary pie and chips, plus a drink from the licensed bar.

Conceived and compiled by John Cummings, the show is a staged reading performanc­e entitled‘A Rousing Read’and is a light-hearted and witty look at the world of books.

Fiona Wellstood, chair of Crieff Drama Group, said:“We hope that the relaxed cafe-style format will be popular with our audience.

“With doors open at 12.30pm for the food and a drink, the 60-minute performanc­e starts at 1pm with a

mid-way interval when the licensed bar and other goodies will be available.”

John explained that, as always in his staged readings, the cast will be called upon to portray a wide breadth of characters – familiar names, past and present; authors and critics; quotes encompassi­ng incredible facts and hilarious fiction.

Tickets can be bought either in person at the Strathearn Arts box office at 2 Comrie Street, or by calling 01764 655556.

Alternativ­ely, see the website www. crieffdram­agroup.co.uk.

Crieff Drama Group has also said that booking in advance is advisable as previous staged readings have sold out quickly.

We hope that the relaxed cafe-style format will be popular with our audience. Fiona Wellstood, chair of group
