Tickets are now on sale for the new show from the Lezzwood Players; The Lezzwardians – Murder at Lezzton Abbey – a sapphic slapstick sing-along send-up of Upstairs Downton Abbey.
In the picturesque village of Lezzton-Under-Weald (twinned with Dul-las-Ditchwater), the strict social order of an Edwardian household is upset when a mysterious murder leads to implausible plot-lines and tragic lapses in continuity.
What is Miss Scarlet up to with the rope and the lead piping? Who has been tipping the velvet with Mrs White? Why is Mrs Danvers so weird? And with whispers of insurgent Suffragettes, will the old order survive until tea time?
The Lezzwardians – Murder at Lezzton Abbey is an original Lezzwood Players show with murder, mischief, mystery and music-hall style songs.
You are welcome to enter the BUTTONHOLE and BAKE-OFF competition: During the interval, they will be awarding prizes for the kinkiest cupcakes and the most decorative floral buttonholes. Don’t forget to bring your entries along!
The Lezzwood Players have been startling audiences in and around Brighton since 2012 with their sensational saucy satires of well-loved theatrical genres.
A quirky bunch of queer women from the Brighton area, on a madcap mission to create unique entertainment for broad-minded audiences in the Brighton area and beyond.
At the core of all their shows is the warped genius that is Catriona Norrish who writes the scripts that are developed on a shoe-string by the rest of the cast.
Previous productions include:
Lezzington Towers: A riotous, irreverent re-working of everyone’s favourite girls’ boarding school adventure story. [Nov 2013]
‘Mallory Towers meets Carry-on Spanking’ – Forgotten Tomatoes
Murder at the Lezzwood Saloon: A whip-crackaway-ride through the worst cliches of the Wild West musical. After sell-out performances in Brighton, the show was revived for audiences in Eastbourne and somewhere up north. [2014 and 2015]
‘Proof if it were needed that the duelling dildo scene should never have been cut from Annie Get Your Gun’ – Doris Day (Bus Driver, Bexhill)
