By NORMAN ROBBINS

Alison Murchison is the last sort of a girl one would visualize as a heroine - she’s fat, straight haired and wears glasses. But her Uncle Frank decides to make her one by entering her as a prospective candidate for a “Wedding of the Year” competition. He selects a designer to create her wedding dress even before he has found her a suitable husband. As candidate for groom to be, Uncle Frank’s eye falls on Walter Thornton’s son, Melvyn a frustrated inventor and an appallingly clumsy young man. However, the best laid plans…. Alison ends up as a prospective bride, but not for Melvyn. Harry, the dress designer carries her off and Walter Thornton carries off her mother.

By J.B PRIESTLY
Three respectable couples, married on the same day, at the same church, and by the same vicar, join to celebrate 25 years of blissful matrimony. Or so they think. The happy celebrations are brought to a sudden halt by a shocking revelation . These pillars of the community aren't quite as respectably married as they thought they were. As the home truths fly like confetti and conjugal rites turn to farcical fights, an evening of sparkling comic mayhem erupts. With a photographer from the local paper due to arrive any second, a missing housekeeper and a doorbell that wont stop ringing, can the three couples keep a lid on their embarrassing secret?

(This was the second time we performed this play. The first time was in 1951 and the third (coinciding with the fiftieth anniversary) was in 2000)
