(“Hobson’s Choice”; Clitheroe "Amateur Operatic and Dra­ matic Society.


I HAD never pre-viously seen a pro­ duction by the Clitheroe Operatic arid Dramatic Society, so Hobson’s Choice seemed like the perfect place


to start. A Lancastrian comedy by Harold


Brighouse, set in 1880s Salford, the action revolves around Willie Mossop, a young and talented shoe-maker who is employed by Henry Horatio Hobson. After increasing Hobson’s business


reputation, Willie is lured into marry­ ing Hobson’s eldest'daughter, Maggie, and the two set up their own shoe shop. Within a year they have taken most of Hobson’s trade. :


. '


.. It is only when Hobson is diagnosed as a chronic alcoholic that Willie offers to go into partnership with Hobson on


: the condition that he takes no further part in the business - hence the term “Hobson’s Choice”;


. ^ It was clear to see that the actors


enjoyed the play and there were some fine performances all round. Brian Whittaker’s portrayal of Hob­


son was nicely crafted and his well- timed delivery and interactions with the audience added an extra dimension to the part, which kept the humour flowing.


Richard Sanderson did well in the


role of Willie Mossop and I particularly liked his transformation into a hard- nosed businessman at the end of the play. Vibrancy was added to the evening


through Hobson’s three daughters and the way they contrasted with each other.


. , Maggie Hobson as the no-nonsense


eldest daughter was played by Lesley Haworth and she performed admirably. ■ Rebecca Hindle was suitably “bump­


tious” as young Vickey Hobson and her range of facial expressions was excellent throughout, giving her character a real edge.


, . Middle daughter Alice Hobson was K^Burnley Mechanics it

played by Wendy Ranwell and her accent and delivery were fantastic. ' Other notable performances included


James McKinlay as the staid, yet strangely likeable lawyer,'Albert Pross­ er, and Edward Hacking -with a dry and: laconic portrayal of factory owner Fred Beanstock. The pace of the performance w a s .


generally good although it did dip occa­ sionally. It was always quickly recov­ ered, however, and the comedy contin­ ued throughout. :


' The costumes were excellent and the


set was functional, although I feel that more could have been done to show the


demise of Hobson’s business between acts.


\


■ There should also be an honourable mention for Brian Haworth, who stepped into the part of Tubby Wadlow at the last minute. He put in a very able performance and if i t hadn’t been announced at the start of the night then I certainly wouldn’t have known. If my Hobson’s Choice is to see


another play by the Clitheroe Operatic and Dramatic Society then it is not a difficult one - 1 am already looking for­ ward to their next show.

Ghat about painting


ARTIST, Peter Taylor, of The Old Bakehouse Gallery, in Eshton Ter­ race, is always being asked if he provides courses in painting. The answer has


■always been no - and it still is, but in an effort to help anyone get started, or advice to people who already paint, Peter is


■holdinganopendayathis gallery. There is no charge and you can take along your own paintings for cri­ tique if you -wish. Peter said: “I work in a


representational, but fair- ■ ly loose style and can give


, some pointers to get you started or progress. I won’t be giving advice on abstract or extreme photo­ realism. If you paint and just want a chat, please come along.” The open day at The


Old Bakehouse Gallery, is on Saturday, November 8th from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.
