CHAMELEONS present brand new comedy PARISH THE THOUGHT

An important deadline is looming for the parish council - but the chairman is behaving rather strangely, something seems to be causing the clerk to oversleep and an eccentric member is driving everyone mad!

After two failed and long-winded attempts to reach a decision, can they pull something out of the bag?

If you would like to know the answer, the Chameleons Drama Group are presenting the comedy Parish the Thought at Aspley Guise Village Hall on Thursday 8, Friday 9 and Saturday 10 May. Performances start at 7.30pm on all three nights.

Tickets, costing £12 plus booking fee for adults and £10 plus booking fee for under-16s and over-65s, are available from TicketSource at www.ticketsource.co.uk/chameleons

The play contains some adult themes and is not suitable for under-10s.

Written and directed by friends and neighbours Rob Lindsay and Fraser Pearson from Woburn Sands, Parish the Thought is the duo’s second collaboration. They wrote and directed the parody Downtroddon Abbey for the Chameleons in 2023, which went on to be performed by Marston Amateur Dramatic Society in Aylesbury Vale last year. Rob also wrote and directed An Inspector Pops In, which the Chameleons performed in 2021.

The Chameleons, who were founded nearly 80 years ago, have ventured into most aspects of stage entertainment, including thrillers, comedies, revues, music halls and musicals. They are an informal group who, besides treading the boards, enjoy a lively social calendar.

Whether you fancy being on the stage or behind the scenes, the Chameleons welcome new members. If you are interested in being involved, just pop along to one of their meetings, which take place most Tuesdays at 8pm at Aspley Guise Village Hall, or come and have a chat after one of their performances.
