Script in hand performances of 3 plays by Sue Wilding, co-produced by CRESTA and Scarborough Theatre Company.
"To make a great production you need three things: the script, the script and the script!", Alfred Hitchcock
Starring familiar faces from recent Scarborough Theatre Company productions, this is a chance to experience three plays from award winning writer Sue Wilding.
For those new to Sue's work, think Alan Bennett and Willy Russell meet Victoria Wood and Sally Wainwright. A slice of well observed real life, people and personalities with flashes of humour, acerbic bite and topics/resolutions that linger long after the curtain has descended.

Elaine's been to her book club. She's come back with a lovely piece of cake. But before she can enjoy it, she has to check on the progress of something she left behind earlier.
SOMETHING BEGINNING WITH L
Performed by David Irwin and Bertie Ward
Being stuck in a lift the night before your wedding is stressful. But until you've been stuck in a lift with someone who's stored up years of resentment against you, you don't know what stress really is.
