Village play is victim of TV filming


THE Downham Stage 2 dramatic society s November play has become a casualty ot


filming in the village. The inevitable disrup­


tion caused by the ultra­ professional "Heart of


the Valley" means that the amateurs' "Beyond a Joke" has now been post­ poned until March. Organising rehearsals was difficult duo to tele­ vision actors, technicians and support staff using the village hall at varied times and at short notice


as a base.Although filming is scheduled to go on for only a short time longer, Stage 2 officials were concerned about the uncertainty of the hall s proper availability for


the play. They did not want to


find that filming was extended unexpectedly


or that there were any problems with the condi­ tion of the building which would jeopardise their own production standards or the comfort


of their audience. P ro duc e r


Fran


Osborne, th e c a s t of eight, others involved in


the production and the society's many support­ ers are all disappointed


at the delay. There is also a finan­


cial aspect to it, which officials are taking up with the BBC. Stage 2 has an adequate balance


sheet and raises money for charity at play raffles - but the interuption to


its income flow is bound


to be felt. Excellent "houses"


were anticipated, espe­


cially as the village hall now has th e much enlarged car park planned for some time. Coincidentally, i t was completed just in time to provide v i ta l p a rk ing space for film vehicles and trailers. "Beyond a Joke" will
