Description

In this new comedy of sex and politics, an anxious group of relations and dependants struggle for supremacy in a garden in the north of England. Toby, a sprightly 91-year-old, wants to keep young by buying and tending a part of the big garden next door. Gerald is trying to bed as many attractive women as possible in between buying up small shops in South East Asia to turn into supermarkets. Daniel struggles to get past chapter two of the book he's writing, whilst Roderick watches helplessly as his wife sets her sights on lecherous Gerald. The whole mixed bag seem to seek reassurance that they mean something - if only they could think what it is... Summer Again opened at the Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond in October 2004.

Author Bio

David Cregan was born in 1931. He worked as an actor, teacher and playwright and had written plays for radio and TV. His plays include Miniatures, Transcending and The Dancers, Three Men For Colverton, The Houses By the Green, all performed at the Royal Court Theatre, London, and A Comedy of the Changing Years, which opened the Theatre Upstairs at the Royal Court in 1969. Subsequent plays, including Tipper, The Land of Palms, Poor Tom, Cast Off, and the childrens play, How We Held the Square, were performed in various fringe and regional theatres up to the late seventies. There then followed a close relationship with The Orange Tree Theatre in Richmond, a theatre-in-the-round, where plays such as Poor Tom, Tigers, Tina, Young Sir, Nice Dorothy, The Last Thrash, and most recently Whispers Along the Patio (2001) have been performed.
