Bums on Seats

By Michael Snelgrove

In a tatty provincial theatre, a new play, Fecund, is being staged. Bums on Seats introduces us to everyone involved in the production; in a series on hilarious scenes, linked by a chorus of usherettes, we meet the stage manager, the leading actors, the lecherous. unscrupulous author, and others. In the second act, set in the auditorium, attention focuses on the audience, an equally mixed and unharmonious group.
