Our November 2006 Production ................

        Seeds Of Doubt

A sparkling, modern, light comedy from the pen of Peter Gordon.

Set in a suburban garden, this light-hearted comedy covers two weeks in the lives of two sets of neighbours with very different attitudes.

While Alan vainly tries to produce results from his vegetable plot and worries about the state of his marriage to Claire, his work-shy neighbour Dave treats his live-in lady like a Jill-of-all-work while he lounges in the garden drinking beer. Preparations for Allan's imminent birthday involve two further neighbours: Sarah, recently split from her husband, and nerdy-but-nice Derek.

Mysterious phone calls, marital misunderstandings and goings-on in the garden, plus the trauma of that birthday, all help to make this a most enjoyable play.

Anyone who ever tried to arrange a surprise birthday party will identify with this Lucilla production!

Directed by Bob Stone, the cast was as follows:

Alan	Sean Gaffney
Claire	Alison Jones
Dave	Mike Quirke
Jill	Moira Weston
Sarah	Wendy Stone
Derek	Graham Aldridge

 

 

About the author:

Peter Gordon was born in York in 1950. After leaving Archbishop Holgates Grammar School he eventually went on to read for a degree in Civil Engineering. His varied civil engineering career led him as far a field as the Arabian Gulf, where he worked for several years. Peter has now settled back in York, where he lives with his wife Janice and three incredibly spoilt cats!

As well as writing, Peter has a keen interest in music; until recently, he was regularly playing drums with a Leeds-based rock band.

Peter has always had an interest in writing but was a 'late convert' to stage work. His first play was published in 1990. To date, he has written eight comedy plays and one psychological thriller.
