How to Make Your Theatre Pay: A Comedy

David Henry Wilson

Rouse, a Council official, is visiting the theatre run by Mike Pemberton-Hawkesley, and his mission is simple: to save the Council money. His brainwave is to turn the theatre into a storage facility for files; Mike, understandably, is outraged. Mavis Dinwiddy - intervenes and the hilarious absurdity of the situation, compounded by Rouse's very idiosyncratic verbal style, is maintained right up to the end of this surprising and enigmatic play. Simple to stage - no set is required - this is an ideal festival piece.
