FRIENDS OF ST JAMES EVENT – ‘LIFE’S A SOAP OPERA’ WITH GUEST SPEAKER Carole Boyd
On 16th May you will have an opportunity not only to ‘circulate and scintillate’ and then be entertained by a witty and experienced speaker, but also to support Weybridge’s architectural gem.
On arrival from 7 pm at the Parish Centre, canapes and a glass of fizz will be served, followed at 8 pm with our guest Carole Boyd giving us an insight into the multi-personality life of a character actor. Bringing a character to life by voice alone is no easy feat, accustomed as we are to watching our TV and film screens. Carole’s role as the complex Lynda Snell in Radio 4’s long-running series, ‘The Archers’, will no doubt be mentioned, especially as this year is its 75th anniversary.
Including the arrival treat, tickets are £17.50 for this very sociable evening and are available on Sundays at coffee; alternatively, ring 01932 846722 or 07930318015. Do tell your friends and neighbours!
