THE FIELD DAY
A Two Act Comedy for six characters      (90 minutes)

Alan and his wife, Jackie, are taking a camping holiday in Cornwall this year as the recession means they can't afford go abroad.    Eugene and Wendy are hikers who stay the night at the campsite.  Gaia is camped nearby in her campervan and catches Alan's roving eye which Jackie resents.  The farmer who owns the campsite observes all.

The play can be set as simply or as realistically as you wish.  The first production was on a small stage, but it could easily be set with minimal  staging,   on the floor,  in the semi round or even outdoors.   All  that is  required are two tents and props. And a roll of fake grass sets the scene nicely. It would suit a  touring  company as the entire set could fit into a   small van or a large car.
