An
astutely observed character portrait of a marriage in crisis, Barbara
and Jeffrey
is a fast, funny and frenetic one act play by Naomi Carter.
“Pitched
somewhere between farce and sitcom...it gets plenty of laughs from an
enthusiastic audience. This is the sort of comedy that any company
will love to get its teeth into, and it’s well played here by a
talented cast as it rollicks along getting dafter and dafter till the
inevitable trouser-dropping climax.” – Theatre Bath.
Snobbish,
overbearing Barbara, and her long-suffering sexually frustrated
husband Jeffrey, should be having a nice middle-class evening out at
the local committee meeting in the village hall. Instead, for a
number of increasingly hysterical reasons, they find themselves
unable to leave their tastefully furnished house. And they can't let
anyone know they're in something of a tricky situation. As the night
draws in and tensions run high, husband and wife must confront their
problems head on... if only they could bring themselves to look at
each other.
