'Party Piece'
by Richard Harris
​28th - 30th November 2024

Synopsis

It is the night of Michael's and Roma's fancy dress house-warming party. The evening looks set to be a lively one until a string of hilarious disasters strike, including a distinct lack of guests, a burning garden shed, a marauding Zimmer frame and the prospect of an irate husband on the prowl.

Michael and Roma's patience is further tried by the arrival of their neighbour, the indomitable Mrs Hinson, who brings her own brand of entertainment in the form of the domestic squabbles of her son and daughter-in-law.

​

This is a fast paced and very funny play packed with action and set in the back gardens of the two neighbours.
