Largs Players' Summer Comedy Theatre season got off to a flyer last week with hoots of laughter for the variety of plays on offer.

For the first two nights on Thursday and Friday a whole host of performers had the audience in stitches with no fewer than five short plays plus a madcap murder mystery comedy radio play, full of strange characters, costumes and dodgy accents.

This is the 23rd year in a row that the summer theatre has opened for local supporters and holidaymakers alike in the special stage created by Largs Players in the Brisbane Centre in Bath Street.

Last week Kirsty Strahan, Rhona Macintosh, George Whitestone, Jon Wilkin and Alistair Maxwell feature in The Carol Police; with Craig Douglas, Genna Allan, Jon Wilkin and Drew Cochrane in All In The Mind; Rachel Yeomans, Alistair Maxwell and Craig Douglas in Almost Perfect; Kirsty Strahan, Jon Wilkin and George Whitestone in Triangles (a Jack and Victor type sketch; and Alistair Maxwell, Jon Wilkin, Rhona Macintosh and Kirsty Strahan in Role Play.......all scenes set in a pub!

Remarkably the casts keep changing every week of the five weeks run on Thursdays and Fridays till August 12.

The performers are joined by Gordon McMurray for an hilarious murder mystery, Death On The Ocean Wave, directed by Linda McMurray.

Then, starting on Thursday and Friday, July 28 and 29 another play, 'The Incredible Adventures of See-Thru Sam' directed by Ruairidh Forde will take over from the mystery.

Confused? You won't be if you get along to the Brisbane Centre for the 8pm shows, doors opening at 7.30pm.
