Deckchairs

A Bear Pit Theatre Company Production

Four twist-in-the-tail playlets from the Deckchairs series, brilliantly written by Jean McConnell. Set in glorious gardens or on a seaside promenade, and a mix of funny and poignant, each delightful play runs approximately fifteen minutes.

Directed by Lynda Lewis
