PICTURES: Life is a cabaret for amateur dramatic group Dingwall Players with sold-out show ready to roll
A LONG-STANDING Ross-shire amateur dramatics group has been “pleasantly surprised” by the advance reaction to its latest one-night stand – a sell-out long before the curtain goes up.
While Dingwall Players’ pantos have become the stuff of local legend down the years, the group has dipped a toe into a wide variety of different genre.
It’s latest, an invitation to the Wild Cat Cabaret, has proved a great success with all the tickets snapped up ahead of the show at the town’s National Hotel on February 24.
The blurb states: “Welcome to the Wild Cat Cabaret Club, enjoy a drink and be entertained by singers from Dingwall Players and live music from The Sitting Pretty Band in the company of an MC who is proud to present an evening evoking the 1930s’ Berlin cabaret scene, including music and songs by Kurt Weill, Jacques Brel, John Kander and others.”
Asked if it might be repeated, Nick Fearne of Dingwall Players said: “Maybe. Certainly folk wanting to come who couldn’t get tickets. We have been pleasantly surprised by the response so food for thought.”
