One of our actresses, the talented Kipper Chipperfield and her (sadly currently nameless) colleague entertained a small gathering in the beautiful drawing room of the Grange on a summer’s evening (“in the gardens if fine”). Despite the lesson Fred had learnt the hard way in the past – which was not to let the audience loose in the gardens during an interval because rounding them up once more for Act 2 was always problematic – he and Val offered their guests a buffet supper in the hope they’d stay relatively close to the house!
