Style:
Short monody (a monologue with a little action and a few simple props) for a much-married middle-aged woman. Contains swearing. |
Synopsis:
Rita has had a somewhat chequered life when it comes to men. Four husbands with a few boyfriends thrown in along the way has given her a somewhat caustic view of weddings. Nevertheless she has accepted an invitation to her friend's nuptials despite the downmarket location at the local pub with a pork pie buffet. 'Back in the Saddle' is a comedy monologue in which Rita brings the wedding to life for us and we share in her surprise as her re-union with a long forgotten school friend at the reception has unexpected consequences for them both. |
