And indeed so it was with the CODS production. Entering into the full mayhem of this unique theatrical experience, the cast and crew gave it all that they had.

The programme actually contains a plea to the audiences not to try and understand the show …. but to be carried along by all the infectious silliness and chaos.  

Spamalot was partly chosen as a show for the men in the society. As the director mentioned in her programme notes, “the men were due a show with a lot more for them to do”. 

So the challenge to them was set. Doubling, tripling, quadrupling up on parts? No problem! Tap dancing under the guidance of Georgia, our talented choreographer? Again no problem. Remembering the words, the songs, the movements …… and all in the right order (well almost!). Also no problem! Rumour has it that they were more than guilty of thoroughly enjoying themselves!  

Of course they were wonderfully and ably supported by the ladies, the multi talented Buffy as The Lady of the Lake, and her all her Laker Girls added to the fun. They also seemed to relish the madness. Well done ladies!
