Daphne In Cottage D

Synopsis:
as John Chapman describes, "The basis of the comedy is simple. The scene is a modest cottage in a New England seaside resort, where Miss Dennis is living alone, and lonesome. She maneuvers an acquaintance with Daniels, another loner, in the hotel dining room and asks him up for a drink. He does manage to get a drink or two but most of what he gets is talk-delightfully disjointed talk by the artful Miss Dennis. Sex doesn't seem to be the objective of either party; when he kisses her at her invitation he kisses too enthusiastically, and, in a sudden fury, she rips his shirt front and orders him out. But he comes back of course. and she does make an occasional play for sympathy, stubbing her toe or hurting her ankle or banging her head on a ladder, and it's a lucky thing he is a doctor. Once she went to an oculist and he said the only thing wrong with her is that she is psychologically unaware of where she is going. . .What is eating Miss Dennis, the well-off-widow of an Oscar-winning movie star? Why isn't her seven-year-old son with her? and why has Dr. Daniels, who seems to be a perfectly decent sort, been on the lam from his wife for so long? The answer to these questions gives a final snap to DaPHNE IN COTTaGE D. I recommend it. . ."

Each play listing contains a playwright biography, synopsis, cast size, creative and production team for the premiere production, date and location of the first performance and much more.doollee.com not only defines the World's theatrical repertoire for the first time but also aims to revitalise that repertoire by reintroducing many lost scripts and providing a gateway for locating and clearing rights for a very large number existing scripts. We are delighted to receive information from users where our own research has been unable to locate details on the holder of a play's rights.doollee.com contains a comprehensive listing for each new play written in English produced by professional theatre companies, venues, festivals, commercial producers and once-off-producers from 1956 to the present. It includes adaptations, translations and new versions. The database also includes those plays produced by fringe (unsubsidised) companies and by semi-professional organisations, where the work is deemed to be of particular significance to the repertoire. Thus you will get help with playwright, dramatist, plays, biography, theatres, agent, synopses, cast sizes, production, published, dates, database, research.
