“A Breath of Spring”
The Play takes place at the home of Dame Beatrice Appleby in a London suburb in the late 1960’s.Dame Beatrice kindly houses a collection of middle aged “guests”, plus Lilly, her maid.
To repay Dame Beatrice for giving her a job, despite her criminal past, Lily presents her with a mink stole which she has stolen from the next flat.
The Brigadier, one of the Dame’s “guests”, deploys his “troops”, made up of the resident pensioners, to return the fur.
The whole campaign is so successful and invigorating that they decide to retain this excitement in their lives by stealing furs, selling them, then giving the proceeds to charities
“Breath of Spring” is a hilarious comedy, written by Peter Coke and features four middle aged ladies, with one younger lady as a maid. There are only two men in the play, an elderly man taking the part of the retired Brigadier and a middle aged man playing the Police Inspector.
The play has pace right from the start with the little irritations of living in a close environment, with no real interests, starting to show up. But once the team have motivation for the fur heists, then the play really begins to hum.
