This wonderful play, about Catholic schoolgirls, portrays the innocence that sadly is rarely seen today. Mary O’Malley brings black comedy to the stage that makes you laugh aloud in disbelief! To quote Punch, “A marvellous, irreverent, affectionate and warmly comic play about the confusions, contradictions and general awfulness of being a Catholic schoolgirl.

Colin must be comforted in his grief over the death of his fiancée. His friends, who have never met the girl, arrange a tea party for him. Understandably, they are on edge wondering what to say to him.

But there is more to their unease than that, for Diana and her husband Paul, John and Evelyn, and Marge – whose husband is  perpetually out of circulation with trivial illnesses – are all kept together by a mixture of business and cross-marital emotional ties.

By the time Colin arrives for tea, tenseness contrasts dramatically with his air of cheerful relaxation. He is the only happy one among them, and his happiness and insensitive analysis of their trouble causes each in his own way to break down.

Written by the French playwright Marc Camoletti, this truly cracking farce featured Simon Cadell and Su Pollard when it transfered to the stage in London to great reviews. It is a fast moving hilarious farce visiting the complexities of what an errant husband with a wife and other interests of a feminine kind can unleash on himself, and those surrounding him.

This play once and for all proves that life is full of twists and turns and that human relationships, especially when they involve a complex web of male and female comings and goings, generally result in panic, raw emotion, and getting the wrong end of the stick on numerous occasions.
