The Proposal

The Proposal*CAUTION: Proposing may be hazardous to your health!*

When a hypochondriac landlord decides to get married, he chooses his neighbour's daughter as his bride-to-be. However, he does not expect that a marriage proposal can prove to be a very difficult business, especially when there are meadows and dogs involved.

The Proposal is not only a hilarious comedy, it is also an acute social commentary, in which Chekhov exposes the idleness, the absurdity and the utter uselessness of the Russian gentry in the 19th century.

Written by Anton Chekhov

Directed by Anastasia Diatlova / Thespians Anonymous

20:20 Friday 7 November

Approximate duration 40 minutes

 


Plastic Soup

Plastic Soup

Where do plastic bags go when they die?

Eco-warrior Kemp will be more than happy to tell you – and anyone else who passes through ‘his’ park. But his alternative eco-lifestyle is under threat from Donna’s expanding convenience store, wacky local artist Phyllis’ latest exhibition, and DI Frome’s investigations into the unsolved ‘incidents’ in the park’s disused railway tunnel.

What will win through in this environmental comedy: love, money or art?

Written and directed by Zoë Chandler / The Finn-Brit Players
