St Michael's Players, Chiswick's longest standing amateur dramatics group, will be performing Alan Ayckbourn's 'Life and Beth' on the 6-9 October.

It will be its first in-person production at the St Michael's Centre on Elmwood Road since lockdown.

Beth Timms is recently widowed, but finding that she doesn’t miss her husband quite as much as she - and others - expected. It is Christmas Eve and her plans for a quiet time have been derailed by the arrival of her son (with his moody girlfriend) and her sister-in-law, both determined to make sure she has a good Christmas. Matters are further complicated by a missing cat, and a prayer by the vicar which has unexpected consequences.

Cast list:
Beth Timms: Bryony Wilman
Connie Bunting: Imogen Measday
David Grinseed: Peter Price
Martin Timms: Chris Wakem
Ella Packer: Flora Barker
Gordon Timms: Jim Simpson

Tickets are £8 in advance or £12 on the door and are available through the website.

St. Michael's Players is one of the longest establisheddrama groups in London. It has been staging plays in West London since 1949. In a good year it will present 2 full length performances in the Spring and the Autumn, a one-act play in the Summer and its famous panto at Christmas.

This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism.

Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets.

We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.

A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site.

One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute.

If you do support us in this way we’d be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor.

For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you’d like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT.
