A new (the third) collection of plays for reading (or performance) written by thirdagers. An A4 coil bound text perfect for photo-copying.

‘Gender balance’ is always a problem with U3A groups, so we hope and assume users of this collection will be ‘imaginative’ in distributing parts. But for your information, we have listed the gender of cast members in each play (M=male  F=Female E=Either)

• Kent and Christendom by Susanna Gladwin: Three Tudor women’s slant on life (6M  7F)
• The New Member’s Tail by David Hart: strange events when a very strange member joins U3A (1M  6F 1E)
• Act Two Scene Two by Len Kingston: disturbing events at a U3A Shakespeare group (5F 5M)
• The Herbert Love Poem Society by Jean Lunnon: flit between 17th and 21st C. in the search for a lost poem (4M  3F 1E)
