 Farndale Avenue (Theatre)
comment
A series of plays by David McGillvray and Walter Zerlin Jnr concerning the fictional Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society. Each is supposedly a production by the Society of a famous public domain work (such as Macbeth or The Mikado) or a tropetastic example of a popular genre (such as B-movie science fiction, detective drama, or French farce), filtered through the ladies' unique blend of misplaced enthusiasm, ego, inappropriate casting, and bad bad acting.Various members of the Dramatic Society appear in multiple productions, each time playing a different role. They include Mrs Reece, the president of the Society; Thelma, a quick-tempered prima donna who always insists on playing The Ingenue; Felicity, a nervous young woman often cast as confident larger-than-life characters; and Flora, elderly and scatter-witted.The first of the series, The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society's Production of Macbeth, debuted at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 1976.

The Vicar
 Farndale Avenue (Theatre) / int_1c751b35
comment
The Vicar: The affable but woolly-minded Reverend Bishop, who gets roped into The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Operatic Society's Production of The Mikado. One of the indignities perpetrated upon the script that becomes They Came From Mars and Landed Outside the Farndale Avenue Church Hall in Time for the Townswomen's Guild's Coffee Morning is that the heroic scientist character is rewritten as a vicar to make him more relatable to the audience.

Breaking the Fourth Wall
 Farndale Avenue (Theatre) / int_1e7487cd
comment
Breaking the Fourth Wall: The ladies frequently break character and the fourth wall to initiate Audience Participation, to apologize for how badly things are going, or just to wave to people they know. (The real fourth wall remains intact, though, with no acknowledgment that the ladies themselves are as fictional as the characters they're portraying.)

The Prima Donna
 Farndale Avenue (Theatre) / int_1fa5ae07
comment
The Prima Donna: The young ingenue/romantic lead role in each production is played by the middle-aged prima donna Thelma, who frequently clashes with the other performers. In The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Operatic Society's Production of The Mikado, she brings the entire show to a halt at one point because she believes she's been insulted, only agreeing to go on after Mrs Reece mollifies her by promising her the title role in an upcoming production of Lolita.

Her Code Name Was "Mary Sue": At the end of The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society Murder Mystery, Mrs Reece has to write a new ending to the play after an emergency renders a key cast member unavailable. She takes the opportunity to give all the other characters lines remarking on how young and beautiful her character is.

How We Got Here
 Farndale Avenue (Theatre) / int_80251be3
comment
How We Got Here: The Haunted Through-Lounge and Recessed Dining Nook at Farndale Castle has a meta example, as the curtain comes up to reveal the cast still rehearsing the final scene. They break off and go backstage to get into their opening costumes before revealing the actual ending, so the effect is that the audience sees a moment near the end, then everything leading up to it, and then finally the actual ending.

Motor Mouth: In The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society's Production of Macbeth, the cast are informed a few scenes before the end that they have to wrap the play up in under ten minutes or the adjudicator will disqualify them for going over time, which results in Macbeth rattling off the following scene (including the entire "Tomorrow and tomorrow" soliloquy) at high speed with a nary a pause for breath.

Mistaken for Profound: In The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society's Production of Macbeth, the show is being watched by a drama festival adjudicator who comes on stage at the end of the disastrous performance — and turns out to be very pleased with what he's seen, having interpreted every error as a deliberate artistic decision that deepens the play.

Cross-Cast Role
 Farndale Avenue (Theatre) / int_985d3ad0
comment
Crosscast Role: Many examples of ladies playing male characters. In The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society's Production of Macbeth, all the male characters are played by women, but Lady Macbeth is played by the male stage manager, who is forced to step in after the actress who's supposed to play the role is unable to make it to the theatre. The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Operatic Society's Production of The Mikado begins with an announcement that the actress playing Pitti-Sing has become unavailable at short notice, so for one night only the role will be played by The Vicar.

Corpsing: Scripted (but spontaneous in-universe) examples occur in some places. In The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Operatic Society's Production of The Mikado when Peep-Bo comes in too early with a punchline and then keeps jumping in with it until the right moment for it arrives, she has increasing trouble keeping a straight face. In The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society Murder Mystery, the actors playing Inspector O'Reilly and Lady Doreen have trouble keeping straight faces when Lady Doreen is required to wax eloquent over a glass of sherry that is quite obviously actually just orange juice, and then lose it entirely when Lady Doreen puts the glass down on a table and the table collapses.

Once per Episode: Mrs Reece walks on stage, realizes she's left a prop behind, and gestures into the wings for a stagehand to pass it out to her. The stagehand gives her an accordion. At the end of the interval, Mrs Reece leads a competition with audience interaction. Mrs Reece remarks that she noticed audience members leaving hurriedly/muttering that they can't take any more, without realising that they're reacting to how bad the production is.

Running Gag
 Farndale Avenue (Theatre) / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: In many of the shows, the ladies have added or changed details to make them more domestic or familiar, resulting in characters swapping recipes or makeup advice in completely inappropriate circumstances. In The Haunted Through-Lounge and Recessed Dining Nook at Farndale Castle, the title of which is itself an example, there's a dramatic scene in which a lawyer tells the heroine about her family's dark past alternating with a series of tips about effective moisturising. The Haunted Through-Lounge and Recessed Dining Nook at Farndale Castle also has a running gag in which the line "I am June and this is my fiancée Marty", which comes up every time June and Marty meet a new character, is always spoken by the actor playing Marty. The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society Murder Mystery has a series of characters arriving at the manor house for a family reunion, each carrying what is clearly the same pair of prop suitcases. In The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society's Production of Macbeth, the Third Witch keeps coming on stage at the beginning of scenes and proclaiming, "Thrice the brindled cat hath mewed", before being rushed off because it's not time for that scene yet. When the play does get to the right scene, she misses her cue, leaving the other two witches stranded on stage waiting for her to arrive and start the scene.
