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