Photo Flash: Inside Rehearsal For ABSURD PERSON SINGULAR at Watford Palace Theatre

Joining the previously announced Terence Frisch (Sidney) and Jill McAusland (Jane) are Oliver Longstaff (Geoffrey), Emily Tucker (Eva), Sarah Quist (Marion) and Walter van Dyk (Ronald). The production, directed by Artistic Director and Chief Executive of Watford Palace Theatre Brigid Larmour, opens on 12 March, with previews from 7 March and runs until 30 March.

It's Britain on the make in 1971 and backstage at the party, three marriages are in the pressure cooker.
Sidney wants to play party games, but he also needs a loan from Ronald. Marion wants to go home, but definitely needs another drink. Eva would (literally) rather be dead, but Geoffrey's certain she'll be happier once he's left her. Meanwhile Jane's still in her Marigolds, desperately trying to keep the kitchen ship-shape. A hilarious vintage gem from a master of comedy.
