Auditions

Synopsis:
A fun farce involving a somewhat dysfunctional family . . . and six doors!

Mike, about to settle in for the night with his girlfriend, has his plans disrupted with the arrival of his brother, Dick. Thrown out by his wife, Dick is seeking shelter rather than going home to Mother.

Both Mother and wife soon arrive, along with girlfriends past and future, the neighbours seeking guidance or quietness, and of course, Father, who thinks he is getting away from his wife but not knowing she is also already there.

Lies, cover ups, transformations and scheming all make this little romp some good . . . almost clean . . . fun!
