We hope that everyone had a great time during panto, whether through taking part or by coming to watch. A great success we feel sure, even if it was a bit of a drain on us financially (we appear to have made a loss of over £1,000 and are not able to make all the contributions to the community we wished). Though we expected a bit of a drop in revenue because of the change in venue last year, ticket sales were hit harder than we expected, presumably thanks to Parkwood Leisure's lack of understanding of the town's long-standing and unwritten rule: only one show at a time. Unfortunately they were in a position to poach many of our audience, some of whom - we have since discovered - were disappointed to find that their christmas show wasn't our panto. Not very likely to get our panto back now, are they? :-/
This year our intention is to return to form and script our own panto. Somehow they always seem to be better. We hope to make an announcement soon.

I am please to report that this event was a resounding success, raising over £2,000 for the Friends of the Curzon Centre and the winning team were resplendent in their edible medals. :-) Demand for our professionally produced Murder Mysteries is such that we intend to make them more widely available. If you are interested in raising funds for your organisation, or simply arranging a fun night out, please call me on 07710 264453 to discuss your needs.

“Would you be wise, you Cities, fly from war”
Tight Fit Theatre turns to the Greeks once more. After the critical success of The Phoenician Women (“Brilliant”) and Oedipus Rex (“Inspired and moving”), both adapted and directed by Mark Oldknow, the Wycombe Swan's resident company awakens another Classical Tragedy. First performed in 415 BC from a story about the siege of Troy - even then ancient history - the play has as many resonances today as then. The terrors of war are unaltered in 3000 years. Euripides said of war what we say of it to-day, and learned what we now are learning: triumph brings as much wretchedness to the victors as to the vanquished.
Tight Fit Theatre has an envied reputation for its productions. Always challenging and ever accessible, their work underlines a commitment to style with content.
