Overheard At The Bus Stop In High Halstow
“You didn’t go? Oh it was very good.”
“Why who was in it?”
“Oh you know, the funny tall one, the short fat one, the one with a funny costume, and one the who sing’s very well!” “What about that good looking chap, was he in it again?”
“Yes and he can dance now too!”
“Ohhh, I wish I had gone now!”
“They had a good crowd, over 80 for each night”
“I didn’t know we had so many old people in the village”
“No, not over 80’s, but over 80 people in the audience”
“Oh, that’s not bad, what was the show about?”
“Well, they did some really funny sketches, one was about a man killing his adulterous wife”
“That’s not very funny! That’s not funny at all, the poor dear was probably just looking for some attention!”
“Oh, she was getting some attention alright!…Then there were some lovely songs and dancing, the younger ones did a lovely song”
“Ohhh I do like watching the younger ones’, I should have gone!”
“You should’ve. The girls did a number with a horn, a feather and some fairy lights…and then lots of uh- uh-uh’s”
“Ohhh, I bet that was good”
“Then they did this one thing where the women danced whilst the men read newspapers, then all the men showed us their knickers and suspenders!”
“There knickers and suspenders!”
“Yes, I saw it with my own eyes”
“Ohhh, I should have gone!!” “And at the end of they did this really good Bollywood dance with everyone on stage, and the costumes were all so bright and beautiful and they all danced so well. It made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, and it’s been a long time since that has happened..know what I mean??”
“Ohhh, I should have gone!!”
“Yes, you should. And then after the break they did a lovely song, some very good tap dancing, some more funny sketches, and the tall funny one forgot his lines again, the table fell over on the other one…it was very good though. Then they finished with a fantastic 50’s show, it was just like a West End show with fantastic singing and dancing.”
“Ohh, I should have gone, I’ll definitely go next time. It sounds so good.”
“We are so lucky to have Dramarama in the village, and all that for £4, that’s almost the same price as McDonalds quarter pounder meal I’m gonna get in Strood”.
“Yeah I know, I’m gonna get a McFlurry too, wish the bus would hurry up”…
