PRODUCTION: Say Something Happened (Comedy) PRODUCTION DATE: September 1999 DIRECTED BY: Anthony White STAGED: Burgess Hill Theatre SYNOPSIS: Say Something Happened dramatises a direct confrontation between old age and youth. The latter is represented by naïve and inexperienced social worker (June), as she attempts to process the responses given by the retired couple Elizabeth and Arthur Rhodes, when filling in the local authority questionnaire. As their conversation progresses, it initially seems that it's the couple which is far more in control, but it's clear after her departure that for all June's awkwardness she's managed to strike a chord, as although they're determined to continue presenting a united front to the world, by the end, their underlying anxieties are starting to show. PLAYWRIGHT: Alan Bennett is an English author and Tony Award-winning playwright. BHTC NOTES: Performed as part of an evening of one act plays involving new, less experienced and established club members. Only the programme has been discovered about this production.
