One Act Evening

Mother Figure:

Husband and wife Terry and Rosemary pop round to check on their neighbour Lucy whose behaviour baffles them. Unsure whether to stay or go, play along or challenge, Terry and Rosemary end up considering their own relationship in this amusing short play.

Village Wooing:

'A', an upper class, educated travel writer who likes to work in solitude meets 'Z' , a chatty phone operator with a mission to marry him. Despite his initial reluctance, 'A' is gradually drawn into conversation, although he clearly feels that 'Z' is socially beneath him. In scene II they meet again by accident in her workplace, a village shop. 'A' is persuaded to buy the shop and become her employer. The two continue to spar with each other although events take a further twist in scene III.
