In response to the legislations allowing same-sex marriage in the UK & alongside the widely discussed discrimination of LGBT people in Russia, we are giving Anton Chekhov's one-act-classic 'The Proposal' a new twist by turning it into a futuristic farce about marriage equality. To complete our comedy-double-bill we will also present a brand new play about same-sex marriage by Tilly Lunken called 'To Be a Wife'.

Anton Chekhov's
freely adapted One-Act Farce
The Proposal
directed by Joe Allan

Well, in Russia 2114 Ivana has come to propose marriage to Stepan's daughter Natalya. However, she only gets into a succession of pointless arguments with Natalya, involving boundary disputes and dogs. Stepan's contributions to the flow of events are no help to the situation either; nor is Ivana's hypochondria... But at least all of this is happening in Russia; a beacon of equality; where a woman is proposing to another woman!

Cast

  • Ivana .................................................... Cam Spence
  • Natalya ............................................... Alice Brown
  • Stepan ................................................. Rus Kallan

& Tilly Lunken's
brand new play
To Be a Wife
directed by Tessa Hart

Well, in England 1814 Iris loves Bel but is married to Roddy.

Then, in 1914 Bel marries Roddy but of course she loves Iris (really and truly)!

And then in 2014, Bel loves Iris and can marry Iris and Iris loves Bel and can marry Bel and neither marries Roddy as he's most emphatically not in want of a wife!

Cast

  • Bel........................................................... Stephanie Lodge
  • Roddy................................................... Michael Bagwell
  • Iris........................................................... Abigail Morgan
Producer...................................................................................... Tessa Hart
Sound & Light Operator.................................................. Venus Raven
Voice Overs................. Ruth Marsden, Kate Nieland & Phil Adele
