Mouth to Mouth Theatre at the Kettleburgh Chequers

	des' dinners at the Kettleburgh Chequers last week As expected interesting beers, the landlord warned NaTCH off Piddle in the Cellar (at least that's what it seemed to be called) so Adnams' seasonal beer Regatta and something which might have been called Odyssey were enjoyed. Other lunchers were Richard V and new playmate Paul N so inevitably much talk about loudspeakers and the much belated news (nearly four years late:) that the Beeb have abandoned Pebble Mill which was demolished in 2005. (In a previous life NaTCH worked at Radio WM then inside the Mill.) The Brewer arrived later for just a drink and then there was much talk about brewing. (Last visit 04/09/02 ~ Previous lunch)

	We haven't visited Church Farm, Kettleburgh since Lucie and Malcolm wintered there in a Winnebago thingy maybe four? five? years ago? Since then the caravan park, well sort of a field actually, has become more populated and there was even someone fishing in the pond at this lovely location.
fr 29 ju 07	Mouth to Mouth Theatre at the Kettleburgh Chequers
	On a summer's evening there was some pretty serious trooping going on at the bottom of the Kettleburgh Chequers' garden. Not surprisingly with the recent continual and torrential downpours the audience could have been larger, the thesp with a clipboard had joined at literally an hour's notice and the clipboard held his lines; and finally the cast was still short one person so a willing member of the audience was press ganged as Snug the Joiner. Despite all this Mouth to Mouth Theatre entertained with a particularly fun production of Shakespeare's comedy A Midsummer Night's Dream in a perfect location by the photogenic river Deben (which surprisingly is some eight feet deep here so be careful kids). We thought the costumes very creative and looked great against the lush Suffolk countryside. There was lots of engagement with the audience, Puck giving ladies in the audience flowers ... that sort of thing and everyone had a good time.
