Directors Notes

Here is a large Semi-detached. Not by building standards but by situation. The settings are of a normally sized somewhat ticky tackily built semi-detached house of the late nineteen-fifties. Contemporarily designed with the somewhat desirable ‘through lounge’ and
‘kitchen dinette! Everything that Hilda, our middle aged and would be middle class heroine dreams of, but to Fred it is only half way up his ladder of respectability. They are, as their name suggests, ‘Midway’, and it is not by coincidence that our characters are given titles such as ‘Makepiece’ and ‘Hadfield’. It is with very clear direction that though they are of today and can be found anywhere in our society, they are larger than life – hence our larger than average semi-detached. The comedy builds up into such intricate and knotted situations that it is a work of art to unravel them -‘I think, therefore I can,’ is Fred’s maxim – ‘Strategies, designs, forward thinking – that’s all that’s put us here – the working of the wits’! His conniving makes us gasp with astonishment.

Tonight we are all larger than life, we hope you will laugh at and with us as we unfold a Sunday morning in the Midway household.
