Storyline: Single father Leonard works at home as a statistician. He has a rebellious daughter whose difficult behaviour is further encouraged by his “growing old disgracefully” father who has come to live in their home. Leonard writes a romantic novel which wins first place in a competition and a substantial cash prize. There is one snag! The writing competition is only open to women authors! Leonard manages to overcome this problem with hilarious consequences which involve his father and daughter in much subterfuge!
Cast:
Leonard - Middle aged
Dee Dee his teen aged daughter with “attitude”
Gus who is Leonard’s father and has been banned from a retirement home due to his outrageous behaviour
Harriet aged late 20s to 40s single, editor of a woman’s magazine
NB the ages are a rough guideline as make up can be a wonderful thing!
Further details and a script can be obtained from Maureen Gardner. (See under Contact tab for e-mail address.)
Minimalist in style and contained within three panels, Matt's commentaries on Amateur Theatre are nevertheless full of life, beloved by our readers for their empathy, running jokes, satirical bent and resonant themes. (Well, that's what it says on the tin.)

Unfortunately, due to a combination of circumstances, we have had to postpone our originally-scheduled production for October - Breath of Spring by Peter Coke.
Our Director, Anne Horrocks, and cast - Diana Dixon, David Alexander, Sylvia Stickings, Maureen Gardner, Brenda Ogden, Linda O'Byrne, John Winson and Rodney Buckland, plan to return in the autumn of 2019.
Being Props Manager for our productions is often a huge and complex task. We are very fortunate to have the services of an enthusiastic new member of our stage crew.
