PARTY PIECE

By Richard Harris
(Stepping Out, Outside Edge)

Thursday 3rd to Saturday 5th November 2005
At Girton Glebe School

A Summers's evening on the patio, fine wine and a barbecue sounds idyllic, but that depends on who your neighbours are. For the Smethursts, settling into their new home didn't include plans for cantankerous but loveable neighbour Mrs Hinson bustling about.

It is the night of Michael and Roma's fancy dress house-warming party - with a twist. Couples are asked to arrive as famous film stars with their roles reversed, so the men appear as girls and the women as their male counterparts!

Confused? You will be. The evening looks set to be a lively one until a string of disasters strike, including a distinct lack of guests, the food for the barbecue is still frozen solid, Michael's shed catches fire, and a marauding Zimmer frame wreaks havoc on both sides of the garden fence!

Michael and Roma's patience is further tried by the arrival of their neighbour, the indomitable Mrs Hinson, who brings her own brand of party entertainment in the form of the domestic squabbles of her son and daughter-in-law.
