Sandgate Theatre presents Roy Clarke's stage version of 'Keeping Up Appearances', directed by Christopher Packman and performed live on stage at Sandgate Hawks Sports Club (Taigum, Queensland Australia) from the 13th to 22nd of November, 2020.
Here is a sampler video of Act 1 Scene 1 from our dress rehearsals featuring (in order of appearance) - John Sayles as Emmet, Jane Louise Turner as Mrs Avery, Carrie O'Rourke as Liz, Glenda Lawrence as Daisy, Peter Lovely as Onslow, Greg Jones ('Gregizmo Baggins') as Edward "Milly" Milson and the wonderful Michelle Whitmore as Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced 'bouquet').
In this video Emmet is casting his latest play with Liz at the local community hall with both Daisy and Onslow considering their parts. In the same hall there is also a painting exhibition in which Hyacinth Bucket is submitting her piece, titled 'Willow By Moonlight'. We also meet a newcomer not familiar to the TV series, acting volunteer Edward "Milly" Milson (played by yours truly).
* Filmed and edited by Greg Jones originally for cast reviewing purposes, with more samples to follow. The vast majority of dialogue has been edited out.
