About the play

The play is about the hilarious attempts of a Member of Parliament to arrange a dalliance with a secretary for the P.M. in a small out-of-the-way hotel.  He engages one of his aides (who is unfortunately a bit of a bumbler) to arrange the whole thing and in the classical farcical manner he gets everything all mixed up.  Also on hand are the pompously disapproving hotel manager, a venal ethnic waiter and a female Labour politician who crusades against pornography on one hand, but is also trying to lure the bumbling civil servant into bed!

A challenge of the play is the set, which is quite complex.  The play is situated in adjacent hotel rooms and will involve a major set change, which is not something we frequently do at Wyong.  As a result we will be looking for a few more backstage helpers than we normally use, and they will need to be fit and healthy to facilitate the changes.
