The 45th Marvellous Chatterley Village Fête

The 45th Marvellous Chatterley Village Fête tells the story of Chloe, a young woman living with her granddad after the death of her mother a few years before. Chloe longs to escape the confines of her village, populated as it is by well-meaning neighbours, but wrestles with the fact that her granddad still needs her support. When a large supermarket chain threatens the future of the village, Chloe decides to put the village’s needs before her own, but her loyalties are further compromised by the arrival of a mysterious outsider who seems to offer her everything she’s ever wanted. Navigating these loyalties is a tough test for Chloe, but by the end of the show, and with the help of her friends, she is able to find her own way to go out and follow her dreams, safe in the knowledge there will always be a place for her in Chatterley, should she choose to return.

The script contains a series of vignettes which are designed to be played as scenes without dialogue by members of the cast in order to show everyday life in the village. The specific action of the vignettes are suggestions only, and can be amended as the individual production requires.
