Our players present the story of Santa and his elves attempting to bring happiness to a sad little girl and her constantly fighting parents. Can the magical toy machine restore her Christmas cheer? Or perhaps Mr Snowman and his enchanting dance? We’ll never know, as a surly Santa indulges in too much Christmas sherry and contrives to ruin everything. Crackers explode, an elf is trapped in a confined space, and the toy machine attempts to eat the snowman alive. Also, there are songs, and these...
The Pilot
This week Cornley have chosen to put on a Second World War drama, rarely performed because of its historical inaccuracy and poor research. Director Chris plays Rufus Heal, a dashing pilot reduced to a desk job cracking German codes in a top secret Allied facility after losing his leg. He is assisted by uptight Englishwoman Valerie Sky and French codebreaker Camille LeClaire, under the watchful eye of Wing Commander Randolph Wycombe. They also find a part suitable for Dennis’s dubious skills -...
A legal drama this week for our intrepid performers, with Dennis taking on a lead role due to a conversation with his grandmother that turned out to be legally binding. He plays unscrupulous defence lawyer Karl McKennon, taking on his ex-wife Becky Sandhurst as he defends an ex-cop accused of murdering his brother. Cornley Dramatic Society’s designers have excelled themselves, constructing a number of split sets that are wheeled in and out to create the locations described in the brutal cross...
As ever, all soon descends into chaos; an ingenious pop-up book set proves a physical danger to both cast and crew, the Angel Gabriel develops a firework obsession, the actors inside a donkey have a terrible falling out resulting in unnecessary nudity and there is much more fire than anyone anticipated. Oh, and the baby Jesus is eaten by a sheep. In between, the greatest story ever told is told.
A coup in the ranks means that Robert is in charge of this week's show, and he is not going to accept the usual shambolic standards as they present a Downton-esque family saga.
Chris Bean returns to the leadership of the Cornley Drama Society and puts on a production of a little-known play by Shakespeare. Colin Shakespeare, that is. Sadly his attempts to bring culture to the masses are thwarted by self-raising drawbridges, flammable props and an unfortunate meeting of a power cable and a metal suit of armour. Robert doesn't take his relegation to a non-speaking part lying down either, attempting to infiltrate every scene with his 'relevant trumpeter.' And there's a...
An American prison break drama is this week’s offering from the Cornley Drama Society, full of intrigue, excitement and double-cross. It’s also full of errors, as the cast struggle to escape from the set, their costumes and a phone box. There’s a bizarre talking bird, a flying system which operates at random and a prosthetic chin with a life of its own. And Robert’s terrified niece Lucy Grove makes her debut, with predictable disaster. It doesn’t help that none of the cast understand the plot.

Miscarriage. A miscarriage is when a pregnancy is lost before 24 weeks. They are very common. Many early miscarriages (before 12 weeks) happen because there is something wrong with the baby. A later miscarriage may be due to an infection, problems in the placenta, or the cervix being weak and opening too early in the pregnancy.
