They need a ballet teacher. Surprise - the ballet teacher is not what they expected, because he’s a young man!
Gradually, the country boys learn to respect ballet. More importantly, they learn to respect their ballet teacher when they come to understand heterosexuality isn’t essential to being a good person.
While there are many amusing moments in this play, I like it for its message, too.
We have had some more serious plays on our agenda: The Woman in Black, which Rep produced earlier this year, and The Lion in Winter. Alan Ayckbourn‘s Time of My Life, which is rather melancholy at times but also very funny, was our last reading for the year, and we did have fun with the “radio plays”.
These plays are about a group producing radio plays, and Cathy Gribble brought along all sorts of things to produce sound effects. So you see, we’ve covered all types of plays. Comedy is always enjoyable, but sometimes we like to delve into more sombre subjects. It’s always a pleasant evening out, so why not come and join us? We’d love to see you.
