Norma

Synopsis:
Mixed Doubles, 'an entertainment on marriage,' takes the form of eight short plays, each for two characters. . . Each is an independent play in its own right but the whole sequence, linked by a series of wickedly anti-authoritarian monologues written by George Melly adds up to an amusing if acid picture of the progress of married life from honeymoon to cemetry

Notes:
Originally presented As one of eight plays under the title "We Who Are About To. . ." At the Hampstead Theatre Club on February 6th 1969, which was subsequently presented As "Mixed Doubles" At the Comedy Theatre, London on April 9th 1969

Rough And Ready Lot, The

Synopsis:
Set in the outbuilding of a monastery in a Spanish-American Republic shortly after the American Civil War(1860's). A group of mercenary soldiers are fighting a war in a Spanish American Republic shortly after the American Civil War. To win the war the Victor must capture a particular pass - which is dominated by a monastery, a monatery which may be of huge significance to the Catholic CHurch but which is also situated on sacred Indian ground. A decision needs to be taken - Destroy the Monastery and take the pass or. . ..? The big question here is whether the destruction of a religious Shrine can be justified by military expediency.
