Other plays we are considering...

Rumours by Neil Simon

Sex, Love and the IRS by William Van Zandt and Jane Milmore

The Philadelphia Story by Philip Barry
The play was first produced on Broadway with Katherine Hepburn in the lead. Then in 1940 it came out as a movie again with Hepburn. In 1956 it was produced as "High Society" with Grace Kelly in the lead role. "The Philadelphia Story" is a great favourite with audiences.

Romantic Comedy
by Bernard Slade
Bernard Slade is well known as a writer for television (Partridge Family) and films. One of his most popular plays was "Same Time, Next Year".

In Romantic Comedy, Jason Carmichael, an arrogant but very successful co-writer of romantic comedies teams up with Phoebe Craddock, a mousy, star-struck Vermont school teacher. The humour in the play comes from the fact that although Jason and Phoebe come to realize that there is more to their relationship than work, they are never free to act on their feelings. When Phoebe is available, Jason is married. When Jason gets divorced- Phoebe is married. It is a lighthearted story of love and friendship.

Ah Wilderness
by Eugene O'Neil
Ah Wilderness takes place over the July 4th weekend in a small Connecticut town. Mother and Father, their three teenage children, her bachelor brother and his unmarried sister are all gathered to celebrate the event. This is the background for the tender story of first love, old love, growing pains and family values. There is none of the dark reality of Eugene O'Neil's dramas here. This is O'Neil's elegy for a warm, safe, lost world.
