The Swan Theatre Company presents
The Reluctant Debutante
By William Douglas-Home
Directed by Andy Wood
Monday 14th - Saturday 19th November 2016
Chosen to close
the Swan's successful 60th anniversary year, this witty and stylish
drawing room comedy from the mid-1950s is set in Belgravia. The
Broadbent family have come up from the country for the 'season' to
introduce daughter Jane into society. Her mother, Sheila, is keen
not to waste the opportunity of Jane's 'coming out' to find her a
suitable match. Husband Jimmy, on the other hand, thinks the whole
exercise is extravagant, expensive and exhausting. Jane, too, is reluctant to stick
to the script. Some mischief-making by Sheila's pushy friend Mabel
results in a man with a dubious reputation being set up as
Jane's 'date' and - at times verging on farce - the play
twists and turns as the poor parents attempt to avert a
scandal.
Doors open 7:15pm, show starts 7:45pm.
