3 One Act Comedies

The plays were:

"Mother Figure" by Alan Ayckbourn - neighbours who call round to find out why a young mother has stopped answering the phone don't get quite the reception they expected.

"The Proposal" by Anton Chekhov, translated by Alfred Emmett - explores how not to go about asking for a girl's hand in marriage

"Between Mouthfuls" by Alan Ayckbourn - sees a young couple arriving at a restaurant for dinner. But why is the young wife so reticent about staying when she sees her husband's boss already in the restaurant, bickering with his wife?
