The Harrogate Advertiser

The same suite of rooms in the Plaza Hotel, New York formed the backdrop for Harrogate Dramatic Society's latest offering of mirth in a three-part play by Neil Simon.
In hilarious fashion, each examined the fall-out over marriage in varying circumstances.
In the first, Sylvia Iveson played well as a despairing wife of over twenty years, torn between the truth and clinging on to her spouse. Alan Harwood as her other half was distant and bemused when his wife reacted almost gently to his affair with his secretary.
The second play saw a vain hollywood director played by Derek Newton and an old flame (Judy Methven) tring to turn the clock back to their first date.
In a humerous passion of manipulation and vunerability, evoked from both sides, they toddled off to the bedroom.
The last, but by no means least, play saw the father of a reluctant bride, played by Chris Cowling, bursting blood vessels and bank balances after his daughter locks herself in the bathroom.
Aided by an equally distraught wife - Audrey Shaw resplendant in blue - the action moved on at a pace.
Blushing Bride, Emily Dawson, looked lovely after being coaxed out by litteraly a few words from intended. Praise to the wardrobe department for the radient bride, and also her father's increasingly dishevelled state.
