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
