Mar 2011 - Crowthorne Parish Hall

Salmon Chanted Evening poster

What do a group of cowboy builders, prostitutes on holiday, Harley Street Doctors, a psychopathic MI6 agent and a Hotel owner all have in common? SALMON, that’s what. A prototype electronic device called a "Sound Activated Linguistic Monitor” or SALMON for short.

Brian (a disillusioned and psychopathic MI6 agent) is out to purchase the device from his contact Lynne, who Brian thinks has stolen it from the manufacturer. He intends to sell the device for his own gain. Little does he know that he has been set up by Lynne who is also MI6. What both Brian and Lynne had not bargained for is the fishing contest between the builders, the toffs and the ladies of the night. They all end up catching, guess what? A real Salmon. Confusion reigns when Brian looses the device. He is convinced through a series of overheard conversations that all the others are after the electronic device when, in actual fact they know nothing about it at all.

Sadly, due to the death of a cast member a week before the production, the Society was unable to stage Salmon Chanted Evening.
