More
goings on at New Copse Farm, where Brendan has brought his lady friend
Carol for a romantic weekend. Except that Brendan’s widowed mother
Barbara - a self- professed white witch - mustn’t know or he’ll lose
a lot of money. Cue Barbara’s phone call, announcing her visit.
Lecherous farmhand Ron adds to the mayhem as Brendan tries to keep Carol
and Barbara apart - not easy with Barbara’s
mystical (claimed) sixth sense. But is Brendan’s father really dead? A
seance should find out, yes?
And
as in the first play of this series, The Ex Factor, the
all-pervading scent of farmyards is never far away.
A
great comedy/farce for the audience and the cast alike.

Notes
This
play, a partner to "The Ex Factor", (yet in no way a sequel or
a prequel) was spawned from the original thanks to the comments made by
my good friend Andrew Rushman, who played the character of Ron in the
original play when we staged it a few months ago. He quite clearly had the time of his life playing Ron and
stole the scenes on a few occasions. It was clear that Ron is a
character worthy of resurrecting, and here he is again at his rustic,
lecherous best. The
title presented a problem - how to stay with the "theme" of
The Ex Factor when there aren't that many words ending in an ex sound that
would go. (Watch out for "The Sex Factor" I guess). This time
turning Brendan's mother into a white witch provided the answer!
