SYNOPSIS
This play is set in the 1960s, starting in ‘62. It goes through several eras and this is made evident by the music and fashions – from full skirts, drainpipe trousers and Elvis… Through the rise of the miniskirt and The Beatles… to flares and flowery shirts, The Rolling Stones and Aretha Franklin.
The main characters are the Greenfield family – three generations of women: Grandma, Mother, and teenage daughter Penny. The theme is the different roles women play throughout their lives and their quests for fulfilment. This is a time for rethinking commitments and expectations as waves of disturbing post-war revolutions in politics…
SYNOPSIS
Although a much requested sequel to the NODA award winning Miniskirts & Revelations -“We want to know what happens next!” – this comedy/drama stands in its own right.
In Flowery Shirts & Strange Relations we see baby boomer Penny looking through her teenage diaries and back to the Autumn of 1968. We watch with her as the three generations at Greenfields’ Guesthouse – Grandma; widowed mother Chris; art-student Penny and biker brother Mick – approach the hippy era. We experience again the music…
SYNOPSIS
Benches features departed characters seated on their memorial benches, telling their stories and observing the amusing comings and goings of the busy seafront promenade.
What would these ‘Benchers’ have in common? – The 1920’s End of the Pier Showgirls; Mark, a recently deceased young Biker; Flo, a 1950’s Nan with a sensitive secret; Richard Townley, a despised Conscientious Objector who met his fate in World War II.
Richard’s story is the focal point of the play…
