What the Butler Saw @ GRADS

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick heads up to let you know that GRADS' production of What the Butler Saw is now open for bookings. The show is directed by Stephen Lee, fresh off his porduction of Twelfth Night at the Rechabites, and the successful Attic Season which included "As You Like It", "The Real Inspector Hound" and "A Christmas Carol".

The show stars Paul Treasure, Grant Malcolm, Jenny McCann, Tony Petani, Jessyca Hutchens and Storm the Stage winner Scott Sheridan.

Set in a mental home, this irreverant and controversial farce tilts from one hilarious taboo to another. The chase is on in this breakneck comedy of licensed insanity, from the moment when Dr Prentice, a psychoanalyst interviewing a prospective secretary, instructs her to undress. The plot of What the Butler Saw contains enough twists and turns, mishaps and changes of fortune, coincidences and lunatic logic to furnish three or four conventional comedies. But however the six characters in search of a plot lose the thread of the action - their wits or their clothes - their verbal self-possession never deserts them.
