| Publisher Description: Includes the plays Whispers Along the Patio, Nice Dorothy, The Last Thrash In Whispers Along the Patio retired Matthew is happy eating his breakfast on his patio in the morning sunlight. However, constant interruptions from his do-gooding niece, June, force him to seek sanctuary in Kew Gardens. There he meets young businessman Tony and Tania, a beautiful but bewildering visitor from south-east Europe.Two paintings and a bizarre set of events bring five very different and lonely people together to dine by candlelight. But will the pursuit of private passions cause chaos among this disparate company? In Nice Dorothy matters are complicated when a 40 year old spinster and a young man of 25 fall in love across a crowded room. The Last Thrash is set in a prep school upset by the discovery of a pupil smoking cannabis just as a minor royal is about to attend the school. It isa comic critique of the propagation of the class system within private education. |
