The North Ferriby Dramatic Society has been entertaining local audiences for over 50 years. Their productions have been presented at drama festivals across the country. The society's next project is a comedy charade which premiered on Thursday 22nd February 2007 at the Village Hall in North Ferriby.  | | Mark Lister |
Titled ‘Whose Room Is This Anyway?’ the comedy has been written by Hull playwright Mark Lister – known to the society as actor and director Alan Harrison. Mark turned to writing over eight years ago and has written a number of plays for the society including the musical, Moving On. “I've written straight comedy and this latest one has a farcical element to it.” said Mark. “It’s larger than life so a lot of the laughs come from the silly business, some of the idiotic things that people do in this play.” Centred on the mishaps of a hotel, the play follows a group of people – a politician and his private secretary, an illegal immigrant, a policeman and a medium – embroiled in a series of misfortunate deeds.  | | Pamela Wilde playing medium Ada Pollack |
The confusion that ensues builds to a complexity of mistaken identities, death defying falls and general mayhem. Actress Pamela Wilde, who plays the medium Ada Pollack, joined the society over 30 years ago and has played a variety of roles but assumes her best role in characterising the older female personality. “I am a bit dippy so I’m probably related to Ada somehow. She just came very naturally to me. “I find character acting very easy, dramatic roles are harder.” added Pamela. |
