An Evening of One Act Plays

It will be An Evening of One Act Plays on Friday 20th February at 7.30pm in the Leslie Town Hall. Doors open at 7pm.

The three plays in question are being entered by the Club into the Scottish Community Drama Association (SCDA) Fife District One Act Play Festival at the beginning of March.

Mark White, Chair of the Club, said “This promises to be a varied and entertaining evening with three very contrasting plays, demonstrating the versatility of our members”.

The plays are The Bear by Anton Chekhov which has been adapted by Bernard Lawrence; I Bring You Flowers by William Lang and Commencing by Jane Shepard. The Bear’s Director, Margaret Kinnear, informed that “The Bear is set in Glasgow 1890 on a Bank Holiday weekend. Andrew Baird calls on Flora McNeil to settle a debt owed by her late husband but due to the Bank Holiday this cannot be resolved. He refuses to leave; she resorts to violence and a duel with pistols is arranged, although he must teach her how to shoot first! This play is both comedic and a social commentary on 19th century manners”.

I Bring You Flowers is being directed by Chris Gray who stated, “This is an interesting piece. What seems like an innocuous conversation between a man and his wife in the garden, becomes more strained and personal before the final reveal”. Commencing’s Director, Margaret Mc Callum, views her play as “a story of new beginnings, old wounds and the quiet moments where lives begin to change. If you want to know more, then buy your ticket and come along and see it!”. All three plays are being presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French.

Tickets priced £12 (£5 Youth) are available from the Town Hall on 07912 602764 or from www.ticketsource.com/leslietownhall
