Talk Description
Choice Joyce
A flavour of Joyce Grenfell. This unique one woman show spans a wide range of monologues and songs by the wonderful actor, writer and comedian, Joyce Grenfell, lovingly recreated by Pat Bryer.
At times touching, at times hilarious, this beautifully constructed tribute lasts about 45 minutes, but can of course be adapted to suit your requirements.
Other Talks
A Woman of a Certain Age - as told in comic verse and song.
This entertainment is a lighthearted look at the ups and downs of life as we mature (physically at least!) told through comic verses and songs. These include poems and a song by the wonderful Victoria Wood, as well as humorous verse by Pam Ayres, Roald Dahl and Jenny Joseph.
The programme concludes with a short playlet entitled Resting Place, where an elderly couple, Jim and Minnie, stop for a rest on their way home at a cemetery and discuss their future. This is a bittersweet comedy, showing the enduring value of the simple things in life, and told with great humour and insight.
The programe will last for 40 - 45 minutes.
