TheLantern 10 #1 Posted May 18, 2009 The Dilys Guite Players are performing Meet Jimmie - An Evening of One Act Plays by Jimmie Chinn 4th, 5th and 6th June 2009 at the Lantern Theatre at 7.30pm. Tickets £5 available from the Box Office on 0114 236 2608 One of these, Interior Designs, will be performed at the Saddata One Act Play Festival in Sheffield in the week commencing 9th June 2009. In By The Half Madam, once a distinguished actress, lives in quiet seclusion in a cottage, looked after by her housekeeper and ex-dresser, Doris. Their routine includes regular visits from the doctor and the insipid Sylvia, who takes acting lessons from Madam; life, for these ladies, is a well-regulated, peaceful experience. One day, however, a surprise visitor arrives - Ursula, Madam's estranged daughter, who is nursing a bitter secret. Interior Designs Him, a brash, arrogant odd-job man, is offering his 'services' to three women: Holly, a successful TV-am news-reader; Irene, a solitary school teacher, and Amy, a frustrated housewife. Although of very different backgrounds, the three women share a common fate of loneliness and frustration. Interior Designs follows their yearning to fill the emptiness of their lives and their various attempts to trap the eligible Him. Too Long An Autumn Long Autumn, appropriately named, is a retirement home for theatricals in the autumn of their lives, where euphemism reigns supreme together with a firm belief that elderly equals senile. Into their midst is flung Maisie May, a former music-hall star, too much of a burden for her strait-laced son and daughter-in-law who do not find Maisie amusing. Initially, the ever-cheerful, irrepressible Maisie copes with the rigours of Long Autumn in her own inimitable style but she becomes increasingly depressed. Then a breezy impresario arrives with big plans for Maisie.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
