Synopsis
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
