Girton Players

WRITE ABOUT WHAT YOU KNOW

By Paul Gisby

Thursday 27th to Saturday 29th May 2004

Girton Players’ spring production is a lively comedy by new playwright Paul Gisby from Cheshire. The play lifts the lid on a group of amateur writers who meet every month in their local scout hut to discuss their work, exchange tips and seek mutual encouragement.
Closer examination of this cosy village scene reveals a whirlwind of love affairs, jealousy, rivalry and literary one-upmanship, punctuated with readings of often excruciatingly funny amateur penmanship.
Paul’s play is witty and irreverent, and recommended to anyone who has ever written or tried to write - or attended any local village meeting!
This play had not been seen in Cambridge before but has subsiquently been produced by another local group after seeing ours.
