StageOne took part in the Churches Together in Folkestone Pentecost
Service on Sunday and performed an enactment of Acts Chapter 2 Versus
Verses 1-41.
StageOne gave a strong and enjoyable performance with the aid powerful
sound effects and wonderful home-made tongues of fire worn on their
heads.
StageOne played the apostles and clearly showed their fear and
anxiety after all that had happened previously and what was going to
happen next. StageOne then transformed themselves and showed the
apostles as charged agents of the Holy Spirit and going out speaking
languages of all kinds to all people.
StageOne is a small amateur group, with enthusiastic members, who wish to get involved with new projects and commissions. However, we are not full time actors and we do this for enjoyment as a hobby; our ability to undertake projects does, sadly, have to be considered against our own work, Church and other commitments.

The play opens with the Orgon family is up in turmoil because Orgon and his mother, Madame Pernelle, have fallen under the influence of Tartuffe, a pious fraud. Tartuffe pretends to be pious and to speak with divine authority which has led to Orgon and his mother taking no action on any event without first consulting him. Orgon himself has a single-minded obsession with Tartuffe which is shown clearly Act I, Scene5.
