Performances, in a nightclub setting, begin at 8.30 p.m. There are only 360 tickets downtown, on Monday. Some tickets are also available at the Cayman Racquet Club. "Off the Cuff" will mark the first time the Drama Society has opened up its Club Night productions to the general public, and proceeds are earmarked for the continuing building fund for a new theatre building.
Director Parker says that one-third of the fare will consist of serious drama. This segment will include the entire second half of Noel Coward's "Fumed Oak", the sensitive treatment of a henpeckedhusband attempting to exist in a home with a wife, the wife's daughter, and the wife's mother. The scenario depicts those events leading up to his departure from such a situation. CDS players include Mike Parker, Sarah Couch, Jan Barwick, and Pat Stapeley.
Tony Staples completes the serious side of the evening with an abridged monologue of a Dylan Thomas radio broadcast.
In a musical vein, Steve Williams will give an organ rendition of Stanley Holloway's "Magna Carta," and David Moir will present guitar selections first introduced him to the Cayman stage during the Drama Society's July Club Night.
The Society will re-work its hit presentation of "If men played cards as women do," and Toni Parker will have some advice for North Siders plagued by duppies in her portrayal of a little old lady attempting to purchase ghost poison to exorcise unwanted other-world folk from her premises.
