A Month of Sundays by Bob Larbey
Ashtead Players present A Month of Sundays by Bob Larbey
A Month of Sundays is a comedy about the difficulties inherent in growing old, and the action takes place in Cooper's room in a rest home for the elderly, where he has gone to live rather than become a burden on his family. He flirts valiantly with the female staff, banters with his good friend Aylott and keeps a check on his “record of physical deteriorations. The action revolves around these relationships and the painful ritual of awkward monthly Sunday visits from Cooper’s daughter and son-in-law, while Cooper and Aylott realise that life can only be endured if treated as a comedy.
Bob Larbey, in partnership with John Esmonde, created much-loved sitcoms from the mid-1960s until the mid-1990s including The Good Life, Ever Decreasing Circles, Please Sir!, Get Some In! and Brush Strokes. His solo successes included A Fine Romance and As Time Goes By.
This amateur production of A MONTH OF SUNDAYS (LARBEY) is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French, Ltd.
