Masque Players: When We Are Married
Written by Ipswich24, 09/03/2017
This spring, the Masque Players will be performing “When we are Married” by J.B Priestley.
Set in the early 1900s, A group of three couples, old friends and all married on the same day in the same chapel, gathers at the Helliwells’ home to celebrate their silver anniversary. When they discover that they are not legally married, each couple initially reacts with proper Victorian horror – what will the neighbors think? – and all three couples find themselves reevaluating their marriages; hovering closely over the proceedings is the Yorkshire Argus’ alcohol-soaked photographer, keen to record the evening’s events for posterity, and a wickedly destructive housekeeper who is hoping to use the couples’ mortification to her own advantage.
The play will be performed at the Kesgrave Community Centre, Twelve Acre Approach, Kesgrave (Ipswich) from Weds 29th March to Sat 1st April commencing nightly at 7:45pm. Tickets are available at £9 and £8 concessions. These can be reserved via the website: www.masqueplayers.com , by telephoning 01473 725633 or on the door.
