Here’s a farce to be reckoned with!

The award-winning Highcliffe Charity Players return to St Mark’s Hall, Highcliffe, with their latest revue May The Farce Be With You! from July 26 to 29.

Join the Highcliffe Charity Players (HCP) for an unmissable evening of outrageous sketches and lively song and dance medleys, showcasing the talent and energy of the versatile HCP cast. With hit musical medleys such as Jersey Boys, Dreamgirls, and The Wedding Singer, and a salacious script, all audience members will be in for a night of unforgettable entertainment!

This hilarious, fast-moving production promises to be a laugh riot, with its over-the-top antics and risqué adult humour that’s not for the faint of heart. It follows on from HCP’s two sold-out shows; Cinderella the pantomime in January of this year, and their one-nightonly Christmas show Dashing Through The Snow, the latter having sold out in under 48 hours!

Matthew Smith, who is directing this year’s Revue, said: “My father founded the Players over 50 years ago after a group of parents put on a show to raise money for a local dance school.

“Since then, myself and my family have been proud members of the society and I have had the privilege of directing a variety of shows from Anything Goes to Treasure Island!

“May the Farce Be With You is a show full of surprises and it has been great working with our high energy cast as well as writing the script!”

As with HCP’s other productions, profits are donated to local charities.

Guy Henry, Holby City and Netflix’s Queen Charlotte actor proudly presented a cheque to Christchurch Foodbank+ for £500 with HCP chairman, Pete Whitaker.

Pete said: “It was a great opportunity to support the Christchurch Foodbank, who offer truly amazing work in assisting people on their journey out of crisis.

“Now more than ever it is important for us to continue our support for local causes given the challenging times we are living in.

“The support of our members and audiences enables us to continue our donations to such important causes.”

St Mark’s Church Hall, Highcliffe, BH23 5AB. Tickets can be purchased for May the Farce Be With You! at highcliffecharityplayers.com/ tickets.php.
