Upon the unknowing arrival of daughter Sally's partner, Geoff, who misinterprets the humorous chaos of conversation to suspect nefarious reasons behind the prior fatalities.
Directed by local Director John Wylde who regards this as a most ambitious undertakings by ABC Dramatics. The production features a technically intricate split-set design which means the society to perform 'away from home' for the first time in recent years; "Beyond a Joke" will be presented at Denbigh's Twm 'or Nant Theatre from 3rd to 5th April.
Beyond a Joke was first performed for the 1979 summer season at the Shanklin Theatre, Isle of Wight, opening on July 2nd by Newpalm Productions. It starred Arthur Lowe, of Dad’s Army fame, and his wife, Joan Cooper.
