"Fox on the Fairway": A Man's Love Affair With Golf

SUZANNE CLARK as Pamela rehearses with Larry Helms, T.J. Moore and Cheyenne Grantham for the upcoming production of "Fox on the Fairway" at Theatre Winter Haven.

WHAT: "Fox on the Fairway," a comedy by Ken Ludwig presented by Theatre Winter Haven.

THE PLAY: Ludwig, whose locally produced works include "Lend Me a Tenor" and "Moon Over Buffalo," has had six shows on Broadway and six in London's West End, with works performed in more than 30 countries and 20-plus languages. One of his more recent works is "Fox on The Fairway" (2010), in which he lives up to his reputation as "master of the madcap romp." In this piece, he pays tribute to the English farces of the 1930s and 1940s, although it takes place in modern times, pulling the rug out from underneath the stuffiness of a private country club. Filled with mistaken identities, slamming doors and romantic shenanigans, it is a madcap adventure about love, life and man's love affair with golf. The TWH production is one of the first 50 shows that has been produced, so the theater received autographed copies of the script from the playwright. 

Director Jim McClellan says, "Ludwig grew up on The Three Stooges and the Marx Brothers so his type of farce has a distinctly zany American touch."

Kahyun Kim, a celebrated film and theatre actress from Seoul, Korea, performed a featured role in the upcoming comedy film, "A Many Splintered Thing."

From newcomer director Justin Reardon, the movie follows the story of a male writer protagonist whose unreciprocated love motivates him to write about his experiences.

"A lot of people working on the set were saying it's a very weird and unique movie," Kim said. "It's not a chick flick or romantic comedy. It's artistically romantic with very unique situations."

A Manchester Romantic Comedy Film

Tired of watching stereotypes of young people in film and TV dramas, actor Marcquelle Ward decided to take action - and write his own film.

Britannia High and former Coronation Street star Marcquelle came up with the idea for a romantic comedy set in his home city of Manchester, and this weekend started shooting the film with a host of his fellow soap star pals.

The result, The Secret to Dating, sees Marcquelle alongside EastEnders star Devon Anderson, Waterloo Road's Naveen Choudhry, ex-Hollyoaks actor Aaron Cobham and film and TV actor Jermaine Liburd all competing for the affections of the same woman, played by actress Paris Jardin.

Longsight-raised Marcquelle says: “I was tired of what I was watching on TV, I don't think we see enough northern actors on TV, and especially for the black community we're always portrayed as the druggies or the troubled, violent youths.

"Beautiful Creatures" Aims for Romantic Laugh

With the February 13th release of Beautiful Creatures coming soon, we chatted with cast members Alden Ehrenreich, Thomas Mann and Zoey Deutch and producer Broderick Johnson for some inside info on the film.

Speaking with our East Coast correspondent Nomad recently, Alden Ehrenreich, who plays Ethan Wate, gave us his point of view on the scope of the film. "There are a lot of different scenes in the movie," Ehrenreich said. "Scenes that are epic, scenes that are magic. The tone of the scenes that I'm in is romantic, charming, wonderful stuff. To me, parts of this movie feel like a romantic comedy because there's really these funny things, these bumblings and failings of someone trying to date someone, trying to get to know another person."

He continued describing the tone: "It's able to laugh at itself. It has wit, it has charm. It's a character-driven movie that has a sense of humor to it. When you see these movies about these crazy supernatural things and nobody goes, 'Whoa, wait a second,' and laughs at it for a second, that doesn't feel like what we would really do in real life. We have to laugh at this stuff."
