It is the eve of Janet Royd’s wedding to Dallas Chaynor. The house is in a state of turmoil with the dressmaker hovering, the caterers arrangements to be made, the telephone continually ringing, wedding presents arriving and being listed and acknowledged and displayed, and relations turning up and behaving with the boisterous humour or coy suggestiveness, which they think suitable for the occasion. It is all too much for Janet’s nerves; she feels that the lovely and precious relationship between Dallas and herself is being stifled, and gets to the pitch of telling him that she cannot go through with the wedding. Dallas acts drastically, taking her away in his car to talk things out, and in the flat which has been prepared for their future life they re-establish peace and sanity. And there they remain for the night. Unfortunately their car breaks down on the return journey, and Janet only just succeeds in getting back to her home in time to be ready for the wedding. Her absence has been concealed by a sympathetic aunt, with the connivance of the housekeeper and Janet’s father.

  • Mississippi Goddamn
    Jonathan Norton
       “Some shows have warnings for strobe lights. Some have them for loud gunshots.  Some for smoke.   MISSISSIPPI GODDAMN, a new play by Jonathan Norton should have one for intensity.   Granted, anyone attending a play about civil rights pioneer Medgar Evers set in 1963 Jackson, Mississippi, should expect some strife. Blood in the battle for racial equality is no surprise, but f...

  • The Lady From Maxim’s
    Georges Feydeau / Laurence Senelick
       “It seems to me that for fertility in droll inventions, the perpetual outpouring of unforeseen misunderstandings, for the inexhaustible gaiety of dialogue, Feydeau’s new play is superior to everything he’s written so far. The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...

  • Fit For A Queen
    Betty Shamieh
       “Plenty of glamorous backstabbing, diva dissing and sexual double-crossing…has every right to claim the name Dynasty for itself.  But the title character in Betty Shamieh’s bouncy, bumpy comic melodrama is the real thing. A queen, I mean, and not just of the self-dramatizing type. Scratch that. She’s more than a queen. She’s a pharaoh, one Hatshepsut, who reigned over Egypt ...
