Out
of Focus
by Peter Gordon
and was Directed by Tricia Richardson (assisted by Jo Halkett) and

Synopsis:
Helen has arrived at the Church
Hall with her troupe of terrorising Brownies in tow.
Kath and Bob arrive ready for
their planned badminton game amidst their own marital quarrels about
Bob's secretary Linda, who also arrives ready to play, with ladies' man
Wayne not far behind.
David and Sue show up for the big
game even though Leonard insists he has booked the hall for an
illustrated talk on steam locomotives and Evonne is certain she has
arranged for the rehearsal of her very first pantomime.
Confusion reigns until everyone
finally unites for a common cause, the production of the pantomime.
Over the coming weeks, alliances
are formed and switched as they all battle against the odds and the
opening night nears. Bob and Kath's marital troubles continue, with
Linda in the middle. Helen, in between staging walk-outs, is in pursuit
of David, although he only has eyes for Sue.
Wayne is out to impress anyone
who will listen, while Leonard rapidly bores everybody into submission.
Events finally culminate during
Leonard's talk at the final night party, when Evonne finds her
confidence, Helen her come-uppance and everyone else receives their just
desserts.
