How can you go to hell for having a snog?
|
What sort of question one hears these days but it is a question one may hear in Bridgend College’s production of Once A Catholic staged at Llanover Hall. Set in a London Convent school in the mid 1950s, the show follows the progression of the central characters – the three Marys – from sexual naiveté to the gradual onset of feminine maturity.
They discover explicit passages in the good book, the difference between 20th Century Fox and J Arthur Rank, and rebel against secular authority by wearing forbidden styles of underwear. This hilarious comedy is a jiving, lindy-hopping trip down memory lane to a footstomping backdrop of the sounds of Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley and Conway Twitty, to beetlecrushers, Brylcreem and Marilyn Monroe iconography. Sadly an age of innocence as lost to us now as the innocence of the three central characters by the end of the play.
If you want to laugh and foot-tap the blues away get yourself down to Llanover Hall Arts Centre Thursday 26th April and Saturday 28th April 7pm Tickets available on the door £5 (£4 con)
