Following on from our productions of 9 to 5, Oliver, Oklahoma , this is something a bit different from us.. A group of local people attend a Tap Dance class, for various reasons, and it shows their journey of learning to dance and developing friendships. It should give you a laugh. Book your tickets.....please.... its a lovely, funny, non PC play with some great tap dancing by a fantastic cast.... and then there's Mrs Fraser.....
So whats it all about??
"A has-been Broadway performer gives tap lessons to a group of 8 misfits from disparate backgrounds and with differing motivations, through their dance classes, bond and realize what they can achieve.
Despite the group at first treating the classes as social occasions, and showing little co-ordination, they later develop a level of skill and cohesiveness. (Hopefully) The dance routines are the background for the focus of the play the relationship and interaction of different people......"
It was written by Richard Harris, and premiered in September 1984.
