End-Of-Year Comedy

Unity Theatre's last production for the year was "Odd Man In," an English comedy set in a remote country cottage. The pace was fast and the acting polished, in a play which played to full houses each night. In the top picture the husband, George Maxwell (played by Mike Sagar), is enticed by the wife, Jane Maxwell (played by Jane Home}. Curled up in the corner under the influence of a sleeping draught is the third member of the triangle, Mervyn Browne (played by Dennis Hoffman).

In any production a lot of work is required to get the play on the boards. Here producer Mary Woosey discusses the placing of props with Anne Carlyon (centre) and Elsa Raos.

Shifting into place one of the heavier pieces are John Mayes (left) and Brian Phillips.
