The Cocktail Hour

by A.R. Gurney

Directed by Bronwyn Ruciak

Who doesn’t enjoy a good cocktail ... or two?

That is what is on offer this September/October in Burnside Players’ swanky seventies production of The Cocktail Hour in the wonderful Burnside Ballroom.

The Cocktail Hour by AR Gurney (Love Letters, The Dining ...Room, Sylvia) is a delightful drawing room comedy that examines a family’s traditional values whilst simultaneously downing drinks. John, a middle-aged moderately successful ...playwright has just completed his latest play titled The Cocktail Hour which, unhappily for other family members, is a little too close to home. Bradley the patriarch, disapproves of what he sees as airing the family’s dirty linen, Ann the matriarch much prefers novels to theatre and Nina the sister wishes she had a bigger part. This dysfunctional family grapples with issues still so timely today all offered up to us with wit and humour.
 

Starring Anita Canala, Gary Harrison, Jean Walker, and Aldo Longobardi
