The Fringe Files are delighted to confirm that the second venue for our 2012 touring production of The Cook Did It! will be Wincanton Memorial Hall in South Somerset. This will be our first ever performance in the West Country as a company.

The hall was opened on January 9th 1960 by the late Freddie Goodliffe who was the secretary of the Somerset Rural Community Council. After the opening there was a concert and in the evening a grand dance. In 1962 the lounge extension and the bar were added. The BBC used the hall in 1964 for the radio programme “Any Questions?” A Memorial has been built in the grounds of the hall to remember those who served in the forces and those who have given their lives.

The venue is also popular with local drama groups, often holding good sized pantomimes and came highly recommended to us.

Full performance details will be announced in due course.

The Fringe Files are delighted to announce that we will be participating in the 2012 Woking Drama Festival at the Rhona McGaw Theatre in October, where we will be performing Michael Starr’s murder mystery spoof The Cook Did It!
