FISH OUT OF WATER by Derek Benfield

Derek Benfield is well known for both farce and comedies such as Post Horn Gallup, Anyone for Breakfast? Bird in the Hand and Bedside Manners. The original version of this play was written in 1965 for 9 characters. It was updated in 1985, and it is the newer version that CATS performed.

We have all been on package holidays and wished we hadn't. We have all had to suffer some of the more boisterous fellow holiday-makers, not to mention 'foreign food', double bookings, late flights - and lets not forget the language barrier!

The play is set on the idyllic Italian Riviera, join the fun and games with Brigadier Hubback, his stuffy wife Audrey, larger-than-life Agatha and her drippy sister Fiona as they try and cope with an amorous Mario, a scantily dressed Marisa and the hopeless but well-meaning travel rep, Julian.
