Bed of Roses by Falkland L Cary
Arthur Gleed is a name familiar to most WDG audiences from the early days
throughout the 1960s, having appeared in countless plays. With this
production he turned his hand to directing (and it is to be noted he never directed
another show for Wyong Drama Group!)
This play was the last production at the Wyong Youth Hall in Hely Street.
It played for three nights, Thursday 8 April, Friday 9 April and Saturday 10
April 1965. On Monday 12 April the whole production was taken up to Morisset
Psychiatric Hospital for a special performance for the patients only (not open
to the public).
Rose has convinced herself that she is an invalid and spends all her time
lying on a couch with her husband Matt at her beck and call. Matt and the doctor
devise a plan. Matt pretends to have injured his leg and when Rose gets up to
tend to him he jumps on to the couch so that she is unable to resume her role as
invalid.
