Trivial Pursuits

A summer evening's barbecue is the setting for a meeting of the Trealaw and District Operatic Society. Next season's play is to be announced but Nick the society's business manager has promised a different show and the plum roles to four different people. As the evening progresses each character's foibles and talents are revealed: Joyce once talented and well meaning is a lush; Teddy is alternately sweet and strident; Derek is pathetic but lovable. The complex relationships between players emerge as moments of pure slapstick and farce alternate with ones full of real drama and pathos.6 women 4 men
