Flatspin - A night of romance in her luxurious apartment with the good-looking stranger from next door, how could Joanna's evening possibly go wrong? But the flat isn't hers, her name isn't Joanna, and who knows what the handsome stranger is really after. Roleplay - Justin and Julie-Ann, mismatched in love, introduce their respective parents at dinner. Justin's alcoholic mother meets Julie-Ann's bigoted Yorkshire father and when former dancer Paige Petite drops-in with her gun-toting minder, havoc ensues.

Gameplan - T1642687543

One of two full length plays from the maestro of English drama, in new productions by two of Somerset’s leading amateur theatre groups. Set in a riverside flat, each features a damsel in trouble, but each play has a very different theme... but are very much Ayckbourn comedy at its best. A schoolgirl decides on a very ‘adult’ way to give financial help to her mother. This play has an amount of sexual content, but shows the strength of family bonds with humour and pathos.Producer Street Theatre. Company Taunton Thespians. Director Mike Linham.

Roleplay - T0700938829

One of two full length plays from the maestro of English drama, in new productions by two of Somerset’s leading amateur theatre groups. Set in a riverside flat, each features a damsel in trouble, but each play has a very different theme... but are very much Ayckbourn comedy at its best. A family engagement party leads to an unexpected outcome when a neighbour from upstairs ‘drops’ in. Matters are not helped by the fact that one family are very prim and proper and the one available member of the second family has visited a few pubs on the way.
