ACCENTS play a major role in the new comedy from St Joseph's Players.
"Midsummer Mink" is set in the heart of London in the late 50s. But that's just the half of it. Apart from upper-class London, there is lower-class Cockney . . . plus an American drawl, a Scottish twang, French oooh-lah-lah, Italian romantica and a touch of the Blarney from old Ireland.
"It can sometimes become a little confusing," admitted director Josie Evans. "But it's a lot of fun."
Evergreen Joan Doorey must keep her mind in tune as she switches accents in almost every scene. And there is a definite touch of "Allo Allo" in Marie Hoffman's French visitor.
The show will be staged from May 19-22. Tickets (£3) will soon be available at Boardman's, Bradshawgate, Leigh.
