Whitney – Queen Of The Night // 26 Aug
Time & Time Again // 18-21 Aug
Kent Rep ’ s 2016 Hever production is vintage Ayckbourn and surely one of his funniest . The action centres around ex-teacher Leonard , who despises the suburban lifestyle of his sister and boorish brother-in-law with whom he has lived since he was locked out by his wife . Another of Leonard ’ s problems is that he finds it difficult to communicate with so called ‘ normal ’’ people . As a result , poetry quoting Leonard prefers to chat to Bernard , the garden gnome !
When brother-in-law Graham brings home his employee , sports-mad Peter , and his attractive fiancée , Joan , who has attracted Graham ’ s own lecherous interest , it is ‘ odd-ball ’ Leonard to whom she takes a fancy . From that point onwards , there ensues a hilarious sequence of incidents that embrace all sorts of sporting and leisure activity such as cricket , football – even draughts . And not forgetting Leonard ’ s latest wheeze – Pond Dancing !
8pm ( Friday matinee 2.30pm ). Price : £ 16 Hever Festival Theatre , Hever Castle , Hever , Edenbridge TN8 7NG www . heverfestival . co . uk / 01732 866114
