Eventful Weekend

by Derek Malpass

A feel-good play that tackles some serious issues. A perfect play choice for amateur or semi-professional drama societies.

The stage is set for a happy weekend as Chris Hedges takes his girlfriend, Tanya, home to meet his mother and announce their engagement. Things start to go wrong when the identity of Tanya’s father is revealed. It seems that he and Chris’s mother knew each other many years before.

As the weekend unravels Tanya’s father is drawn in to enlist his support. It looks as if everyone is in for an eventful, and surprising, weekend.

Eventful Weekend is a play in three acts with a cast of six. The events take place in the country home of Lady Barbara Maitland over one autumn weekend.

Review comments for Conversations with a Muse.

There is something here for everyone. Some poems are amusing (I laughed out loud at a few),others are disturbing, most are witty and thoughtful. the whole sequence of "Conversations" is clever and funny.

Reading groups don't as a rule choose poetry but this would be a good choice because of the variety in style, mood and subject.
