Two amazing hilarious plays for the price of one!
Mixed Doubles by Lynn Brittney.
The Tennis Club is holding a quiz night and George, who has made a career out of running quiz nights since he retired, is the quizmaster. Everything is organised. The only problem is that the newsletters were sent too late and only a few members turn up. And, what is worse, one of them is supreme know-it-all, Martin, who challenges every question George has set! Also, things are going on in the background – secret longings surface – which erupt into mayhem. All human life is here, in this hilarious comedy of suburban habits.
The Big Bill by John McGlade
Flatmates Danny and Greta are steadily sinking into the mire known as ‘the cost of living crisis’.
The pair come up with inventive ways to tighten their financial belt while keeping warm through the winter, but when a monstrous energy bill hits their doormat, they find they’re in way over their heads.
Can the flatmates find a way out that will allow them to retain their friendship and dignity?
The Big Bill is a fast-moving, sharply observed satire on the absurdities of late capitalism, and the impossible day-to-day demands it makes of us. The play carries a message of hope for besieged individuals and communities.
