Description It is a delightful light comedy ably produced by Drusie Cox. The play in itself has no deep plot and depended too much on the producer and the players to get the most out of the lines and keep the audience amused. This was ably achieved by a team of seasoned Repertory Players assisted by one or two newcomers. The main female lead was taken by Drusie Cox as Alice Garth-Bander. She portrayed the part of the mother of a family of scatter brains. She ably raised many laughs with her vague rambling thoughts. Her main worry was that George and Margaret would be at the Garth-Banders to tea.
