LAST OF THE SUMMER WINE

This is a stage adaptation of the television series Last of the Summer Wine.  All of the televised episodes, which spanned 30 years, were written by Roy Clarke who also wrote such classics as Keeping up Appearances and Open All Hours.

In the play Foggy, Clegg and Compo embark on their last adventure.  Foggy has decided he needs some female company and his choice has alighted on Constance, Nora Batty’s niece.  The fact that she is also the longstanding fiancée of Foggy’s rival Gifford Beaumont might also have influenced his choice.  As his accommodation is not suitable Foggy persuades Clegg to invite Constance, chaperoned by her Aunt Nora, to his house for the evening. Clegg is under strict instructions not to let Compo know of the plan as Foggy considers him to be unsuitable company for ladies. However Compo turns up in his usual disreputable state just before the ladies arrive and of course is not going to miss the opportunity of free food.

Unbeknown to Foggy and Clegg a flasher has been reported in the area and on the evening of their soiree Gifford Beaumont has vowed to patrol the area to catch him.  Chaos ensues when the flasher also manages to get into the house resulting in Foggy and Clegg having to employ more and more desperate measures to shield the ladies from him and Compo.  This is further complicated when Gifford also comes to the house to rally support for his venture and to challenge Foggy.  Foggy’s careful preparations are wrecked amid mayhem and mistaken identities. 

Do not miss the opportunity to see the intrepid trio in their last hilarious enterprise.
