Stepping Out

<p><em>Stepping Out i</em>s a warm and very funny play about the lives laughs and loves</p><p>of a group of women (and one man) attending a weekly tap-dance class in a</p><p>dingy North London church hall. There is ex-professional dancer Mavis who</p><p>runs the class; cheerfully overweight Sylvia; Andy a plain do-gooder with</p><p>no con dence; snobby but well meaning Vera; timid Dorothy who works</p><p>in Social Security; Maxine attractive sharp and very shrewd; fat plain</p><p>Lynne; Rose just here for a good time and Geoffrey the lone male. As the</p><p>play progresses the class's dancing improves to such an extent that by the</p><p>climax a grand charity show performance they have been transformed into</p><p>triumphant tappers worthy of any chorus line.</p>
