Each
and every year, the members of the national sales team of JW Roberts
Ltd. meet in a hotel for their sales conference. And each and every
year they continue their liaisons with other members of the sales team.
Afterwards they will go back to their everyday lives, but this weekend
they’re out to enjoy each other. Peter and Eve have conveniently
opposite rooms in the hotel, but just about anything that can prevent
their continued relationship actually does prevent it, including fire
alarms, falls, difficult hotel staff, visiting bosses, lost keys, two
pairs of handcuffs and a surprise visit from Peter’s wife. Set in an area stage comprising a corridor and two rooms, this play is easy to set, even for groups with modest means - and in any case the payback is in the comedy. Cast ages are flexible. |
