Chinamen / Last Tango in Little Grimley 1999

These two short plays were performed by the Troupers in March 1999. 'Chinamen', written by Michael Frayn is set around a disastrous dinner party in which two actors play all the characters, changing costumes & assuming new roles without apparent effort. Frayn considered the frantic backstage activity funnier than the play itself inspiring his very successful play 'Noises Off'. 'Last Tango', written by David Tristram, is set in Little Grimley village hall after the last production.
