6 December: Andrew Biss - The Comedy Collection

 

I am still recovering from the discovery of how wonderful pumpkin pie is!  Thank you so much Judi, the empty plate proved just how good it was!

 

In December we will preview the ECC's spring production, a collection of 10 minute plays by Andrew Biss, which is described on his website as:

 

From the sublimely funny to the ridiculously inane, this unique compilation of some of the playwright’s most popular short plays runs the comedy gamut. Some have their roots in realism, while others wilfully and wantonly upend theatrical customs and conventions. Some are playful and light-hearted, while others hew closer to the realm of dark comedy. But whatever their milieu, they all share one common goal: to entertain and amuse.

 

I went to the auditions and really enjoyed the pieces, most are for 2 people and so it means that, unusually, readers will get to perform the leading role in an entire play!

  

 

 

As it is December we will have mince pies (thank you Debbie) and mulled wine!  Tea for those of you who don't like it (is there anyone??)
