Muddlarks newsWe had our inaugural meeting on the 26th April, 2010, and in August we put on our first production - "Sea Breezes". The first half of the programme consisted of a series of reading sand poems with a sea theme and the second half was taken up with a nautical comedy "Sarah".
In October we staged a short murder mystery for the Little Theatre's Fund Raising Variety Show, and this led to our recording a ten minute 1950's style mystery play - "The 39 Red Herrings" - which was broadcast in December on the Island's local radio station, BRFM, on Daniel Nash's Monday Night Community Show.
As a follow on from this, we were asked to present a serial, and "Hound for Hound" - a six part serial, was broadcast on Daniel's show April to May 2011. We also staged the first three episodes for the Little Theatre's Fund Raising show in March. In August 2011 we put on "Muddlarks for 3" at the Little Theatre. The programme consisted of three short one-act plays, interspersed with sketches and poems - all written by members of the group.
