Fish out of Water 2005

Written by Derek Benfield and first performed in 1962, the action is set in the fictitious Hotel Floreat on the Italian Riviera. The play concerns the reaction of the austere hotel guests when the overpowering Mrs. Hepworth arrives with her brow-beaten sister Fiona. The cast includes a lecherous brigadier, his disapproving wife, a glamorous maid, an incompetent hotel manager and a bossy guest intent on organising beach games. The chaos and misunderstandings, which ensue are somewhat reminiscent of that more famous hotel, Fawlty Towers.
