Eastbourne Operatic & Dramatic Society (EODS)

EODS Productions proudly present Alan Ayckbourn’s “A Chorus Of Disapproval”.

Audiences love a play within a play, and no more so than this hilarious comedy!

Guy, a shy widower, attempts to escape loneliness by joining P.A.L.O.S (Pendon Amateur Light Operatic Society) who are staging a production of John Gay’s “The Beggar’s Opera”.

By accident rather than by design (in fact, by not saying "no" to anything, be it a request to obtain confidential information from his company or an offer of illicit sex) he advances from a small part to the lead.

As the play progresses Ayckbourn skilfully draws parallels between 'The Beggars Opera' and the real life “goings on” of these wannabe actors.

It’s a show packed with classic tunes, emotional drama, romantic rivalry and petty small town politics – not to mention laugh out loud comedy!
