What's On At the William Penney Theatre, Aldermaston Recreational Society
'Heatstroke' by Eric Chappell
(Tuesday 20th May to Saturday 24th May)
Sam and Fay Spencer think they are about to have a peaceful and relaxing holiday in the luxurious (and free!) Spanish villa of Fay’s boss Sidney … but just how wrong can they be? The villa has been double-booked, the actor Howard Booth and his girlfriend Dodie arriving shortly after the Spencer’s, and, to compound the confusion, Sam and Howard have matching holdalls which have become muddled with each other and with a third, full of money, the hunt for which brings the sinister Raynor to the villa. The assumed identities, breakneck pace and hilarious mishaps of farce mix with tension, mystery and startling plot reversals of a thriller in this clever and amusing play from the author of Theft, Natural Causes and TV’s Rising Damp.
