Product Description
This 2 Act play was originally published in 1964 by Samuel French Ltd in paperback, 75pp, this is a more recent reprint (undated) given the ISBN number on the back: 0573010110. About this play: [from text on rear of book] 'I try to do right - but somehow it always turns out bloody wrong,' says Ezra plaintively. He has a lovely nature, but his roughness grates on his sensitive son who would rather listen to serious music than down a pint with the boys. Arthur and his bride can only afford to live with Arthur's parents. The lack of privacy is so inhibiting that, six weeks after the wedding, Violet woefully confides that she is still a virgin. The news gets around. Humiliated and furious, Arthur intends to leave Violet, but fortunately his rage destroys his inhibitions. Coming downstairs later, his new confidence allows father and son to reach each other for the first time. All these characters are infused with a robust vernacular humour. Has 4 female and 7 male roles: Lucy Fitton, Arthur's mother; Ezra Fitton, her husband; Geoffrey Fitton, their younger son; Joe Thompson, Arthur's boss; Liz Piper, Violet's mother; Molly Thompson, Joe's wife; Fred Stanfield, Violet's uncle; Arthur Fitton, the bridegroom, Geoffrey's elder brother; Eddie Taylor; Violet Fitton, the bride; and Leslie Piper, Violet's Father.
