Careline Theatre: We are excited to be presenting this Summer our first of a series of one act plays. The first evening will be, *”Darlings you were wonderful”! The play is about The Amazon Theatre Group who are to perform a little-known, passionate, Spanish drama in a festival. Amid multiple tensions and general chaos backstage, Lesley, the missing member, staggers in paralytically drunk and dressed in full motorcycle gear. Is the adjudicator impressed with the cast’s seething passion or is there true hatred here? The evening will include various “Tortillas” in the garden of the auditorium at Benidoleig. Fun and Food. Watch out for the dates in June/July. Contact: carelineevents@gmail.com.
