Carry On at Camp David

Carry On at Camp David

Saturday 8pm-11pm

Clashes with Wild, Wild, Wild, Wild West

A freeform for 18 players by Russell Harris, Steve Hatherley, Liz Jones, Donald Oddy, Mike Snowden and Janet Young. Development and additional characters by Sue Lee.

It is the 17th November 1962, and the Cold War is at its height. Throughout the USA, rumours of communist conspiracies abound.

The setting is Camp David, the US President’s official rural retreat. President David Nixody has broken off trade negotiations to hold a reception in honour of astronaut Buzz Leapyear who is to be presented with the Congressional Medal of Honor. It is a relaxed, informal occasion, and the speeches are expected to be kept short.

The President is also expected to make an announcement about the Statue of Liberty replacement project, which has received much media coverage of late.

The reception officially starts at 6.30pm with a brief welcome from the president, and will end at 8pm when dinner will be served. The game starts a few minutes before 6.30, with the guests gathered in the ballroom.
