It looks like them boys and girls of the award winning Kersley Players is at it again.
They is out there a working out the kinks fer their latest offering a’ called Sweet Song Farewell. This theatrical production is a’ written and directed by Roy Teed and is plum packed with lecherous villains, sword fighting and a damsel in distress.
And that’s just in the first 10 minutes.
After that it gets real interestin’.
Set in the 1860’s, at Little Bend (somewhere between Quesnelle Forks and Williams Creek), we find the campsite of prospectering partners Hobus Handy and Fosberry Groat.
They, along with their respective spouses, Fanny Handy and Annabelle Groat, have been a’ working their claim in relative peace. That is until John Sweet of Sweet’s Singular Troupe of Traveling Troubadours and Gabrielle Montrose of the Montrose & Associates Theatrical Society come by to put on a show.
These actors done think that their performance is worth its weight in gold and don’t mean to leave until they get their payment, by any means needed.
Meanwhile, who was that stranger a skulking around the camp? Some say that it’s the notorious DJ Yates (he’s killed seven men, ya’ know.) Or maybe it’s cousin Suzie who’s come up north for a visit.
To find out, you’ll have to come out and see for yourself.
