Our next show is Kiss Me Kate, by Cole Porter. For the cast, go here. FAQ below

1 What is Kiss Me Kate? It's a Cole Porter musical based loosely on Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew. The modern version is a "show within a show," with a company attempting to jazz up the original for a 1940s audience, and the two lead couples falling in - and out of love - with hilarious results!

2 Really? Yeah, see Wikipedia for a better definition.

3 Who's in charge? The producer will be Dave Cooper, the musical director will be Bob Crabtree, and the accompanist will be Peter Robertson.

4 Are they any good? They've done our last four shows (at least), so they know what they're doing.

5 When is it? Monday 18th to Saturday October 23rd 2010

6 Where is it? Astley High School.

7 Where's that? Seaton Delaval. See the map for details.

8 It sounds fabulous! Where do I get tickets? It IS fabulous, darling! You can get tickets from society members, phone the box office on 01670 356102, or book online at http://www.beaconsfield.ticketsource.co.uk.

9 How much are tickets? £5 for concessions, £7.50 for adults, £20.00 for family tickets (2 adults, 2 children)

10 What does it cost me to be in it? You need to be a member of the society to be involved. It's £10 for under 18s and non acting members, and £20 for adults.

11 I'm great! Audition me! Well, there may be a couple of slots for male principals left - email me for details. It's a little late to join the chorus though, so it's unlikely we'd accept new members for Kiss Me Kate, sorry. If you want to join, let us know and we'll let you know when rehearsals for our next performances are starting. There are no auditions to join the society.

12 Who got the parts? These people.

13 Where do you rehearse? At the Spartan Hotel, on Sixth Avenue in Blyth. Any other rehearsal venues will be announced at preceding rehearsals.

14 You haven't answered my question! Sheesh, so picky. Email.
