TABLE MANNERS: Come and watch!


TABLE MANNERS by Alan Ayckbourn. On at the Monifieth Theatre (behind the bus stop at the top of Tay Street in Monifieth) at half 7 on the 17th,18th,19th and the 24th,25th,26th of March.

Sarah and Reg arrive at mum's house for the weekend so that invalid mum's care-giver, Reg's sister Annie, can get away for the weekend. But Annie ends up staying, their brother-in-law Norman shows up unexpectedly, and not long after, so does Norman's wife Ruth (Annie and Reg's sister). Sarah tries her best to organize a family dinner for the five of them plus Tom, a slow-witted neighbor whom everyone expects to propose to Annie. Sarah can't get much cooperation and doesn't realize that Annie had planned to sneak off with Norman. Norman is incorrigible, Annie is caught between Tom and a fling, mum is upstairs demanding attention, and there aren't six proper chairs.
That sound any good? Well expect it to be even better, cause the cast is:

Norman - Sean Dowling
Annie - Sarah Ramsay
Sarah - Nicky Stewart
Tom - Gareth Barton
Ruth - Ann Sutherland

and, of course me. So come along one and all, sit, watch and remember your table manners.



That was an awful pun that doesn't make sense. I'm sorry.
