| View from the Prom by Neville Judson |
| Roles | Minimum Male roles = 0. Minimum Female roles = 3. Minimum total with doubling = 3. Minimum total without doubling = 3. No chorus. |
| Run Time | Around 35 minutes. [Estimated!] |
| Music | None. |
| Style | One-act drama of a three-way conversation. Easy to stage, requiring just a bench for the three women to sit on. |
| Synopsis | Three women, from three generations of a family, sit on a bench overlooking the beach in Tenby. Tegwyn has decided to send her mother Gwendolyn to an old people's home for a few days, but is uncomfortable about it. Tegwyn's daughter Celyn is not happy being away doing research and wants to come home. Gwendolyn sees four swimmers whom she believes she had last seen many years before.
[Gwendolyn has seen the swimmers before - their meeeting is told from the swimmers' perspective in The Barrier. Knowledge of this is completely irrelevant to the content of this play, but nevertheless, the two plays would work well together.] |
