Double entendres are non-stop as the well loved
staff of Grace Brothers department store prepare
first for a sale of German goods and then depart en
masse for a staff holiday at a one star hotel in
Spain. Will the tropical heat, Spanish crumpet,
giant woof'n'poofs and randy revolutionaries prove

priceless portrait stolen by the Nazis and kept in
a sausage in their cellar. René is hiding
two British airmen and is endeavouring, with the
help of the Resistance, to repatriate them.
However, communications with London through a

René will need all the wit he can muster to
save his café and his life . . . !

British TV comedy series... very funny and not that
hard to stage. (Originally done with a revolve but
can be done simpler with small set pieces for the
offices, etc.) The BBC has released 4 Video tapes

his fiance Carol Melkett have invited Georg

of light and dark are reversed: when the lights are

'off' we see the characters behaving as if they
were in a black-out. Can be presented with Peter
Shaffers "The White Liars" (also One act).

Quiet
Weekend
by
Esther McCracken
|
Cast: 5 Men, 8 Women
Setting: A cottage setting in Rural
England
Outline: Mildred and Arthur Royd are at
their weekend cottage. Two of their children are
having matrimonial troubles and have descended on
mother and father for comfort; Marcia is
quarrelling with her husband Jim; Denys is
enamoured of glamorous Rowena Marriott and has no
time for the other guest at the cottage, Miranda,
who is embarrassingly devoted to him. Desperately
trying to keep the peace, Arthur tries to snatch a
few moments for his fishing - only to become
involved in a salmon poaching episode. By Sunday,
things are almost straightened out, but the
approach of the Vicar with his subscription book
precipitates a general flight.
Notes: The sequel to "Quiet Wedding".
