Take Three Girls
Theatre Company
" In 2017 my dear friend Hilary May introduced me to Ruth and Monika. I had chatted to her about staging Bed Among The Lentils with musical interludes instead of the scripted lighting interludes. Hilary made things happen. She got a violinist, an actor and a pianist in the same room and fanned the creative spark. Quite honestly, her friendship and encouragement founded our little company. I wish with all my heart that she was still here to see what we are doing and how we are growing, and yet we still feel her cheering us on. Our first performances raised money for Cancer Research and Secondary First. Hilary produced, publicised and waved the flag for these wonderful cancer charities. She bigged us up good and proper. From these humble beginnings we have performed in various private venues to invited audiences. We love close up and immersive theatre and so we have become used to galleried dining rooms, grand halls and village halls, hotels, barns, churches and studios. Give us a space and we will fill it with theatre. We love our audiences to be totally engaged and so we have been known to provoke a little and banter a lot, and improvise if the script allows. With our Noel Coward performances we encouraged audiences to come dressed in their finest. And the Darlings did! The feather boas, evening dresses and top hats and tails were a marvellous sight. We had a champagne reception and greeted our guests in character as they made their way down the grand wooden staircase at Croydon Hall, to the swing of music from the 1930”s. When we performed Fallen Angels, the chef at Croydon Hall followed the menu from the play and audiences were treated to splendid French cuisine in a pre performance dinner. So be enticed. Come for the theatre, for the music, for the event, and for a good story told well." Jen x

About BED OF LENTILS
A searingly focused outpouring of deep disappointment, so powerfully delivered and full of pathos. The tight intimate space worked perfectly too. A special evening. More please.
DAVID RAMSEY
A superbly focused production that brings Bennett’s words alive. Jen Warwick’s nuanced and committed performance as ‘Mrs Vicar’ holds the audience attention throughout.
SARA HUDSTON
Luminous and iridescent. Not so much ‘in the round’ as in the room, quite literally. The table came out through the kitchen and a higgedly mix of chairs, as many as we could fit, went in its place. A piano jammed against the door, next to the violinist and Jen Warwick sat perched pacing and sipping from a bottle of sherry. Almost too much for some last minute guests from Oregon. They had been expecting wild but not this. They were smitten. Exmoor is big skies and vast scapes, and on a scale to match, home to a community of talent and creativity.

About BREATH OF LIFE
To get such natural unselfconscious movement around your tiny set along with real conviction in the delivery of a very wordy piece was just remarkable. The entire audience was with you all the way through. You could have heard a pin drop. Remarkable!
DAVID RAMSEY
Simply amazing performances. We three had all been in the situation of both characters at some point in our longish lives, and my god, you brought those feelings to life. Thank you.
VERONICA McHALE
I found it provoking, entirely believable and was so pleased I went. Nothing short of amazing.
Your daring came out top with remarkable performances, as pure theatre, as theatre should be.

It was one of the most fulfilled theatrical evenings we have ever experienced.
Phenomenal! And I don't say things like that.
It's a helluva play! Such intelligent interpretation, such superb acting of really challenging parts.
