AUDITIONS will take place on April 20th, starting 18:30 at the Lohnhof

The Play:
"Unoriginal Sin" is a fast moving comedy that should have the audience laughing loudly. Bill and Jenny are divorcing. She tries to catch him in a compromising position while he attempts to seduce the young, innocent Eve who has come to view Bill and Jenny's country cottage. Eve arrives with her fiancé and Jenny proposes to Bill a 'first to the bedpost' competition to establish the divorce settlement. Jenny wins and Bill is humbled into reassessing his profligacy. Eve is twenty-four and never been kissed. Bill is thirty-five, rich, alcoholic, and with the sex drive of an adolescent bull on steroids. Eve is engaged to Neville. Bill is married to Jenny. Jenny is having an affair with Jeremy, but she remains utterly devoted to her husband's money. Miles is Bill's best friend. Or at least he was, before he discovered Bill's underpants hanging from the lightshade in his bedroom. Then there's Father Tomlin. At least he's taken a lifelong vow of celibacy. Or so his daughter claims. Unoriginal sin? It seems there's nothing very original about it any more.............

The Author: 
David Tristram started writing in 1985 and now has 19 published comedies and one novel to his name. Every year there are hundreds of performances of his plays all over the world. Popular one act works like Last Tango in Little Grimley have clocked up over 1000 community theatre performances worldwide. "Unoriginal Sin" had a very successful run in Mexico after being translated by director Roberto D'Amico which was one of a number of plays put on there. David Tristram always tests out a new play under his own direction at a small theatre near his home before releasing it to the world at large.
