The Good and Faithful Servant

by Joe Orton

directed by Andrew Smith

Presented as a Double Bill together with Cheek at the

Maskers' Studio Theatre

on

Tuesday 26th to Saturday 30th October 2004

Infidelity, suicide, lost love, pregnancy, bad sanitation - and all in the first scene! This is surely all too much for George Buchanan our reluctant hero, who is retiring today after 50 years loyal years with the firm. A series of revelations from a familiar looking cleaning lady looks set to rock his plans for a peaceful but active retirement playing skittles full-time, and may force him to re-evaluate his existence.

Mrs Vealfoy, the sharp-suited smiling face of Personnel, keeps a file on all employees, including a young typist named Debbie - recently put in the family way by a young man who she met by accident and who 'seemed to know what he was up to'. Ray likes an easy life - music, sex, the Arts - but the time may have come for him to reconsider his future.
