Synopsis
A Chorus of Disapproval
$12.99
Published by Samuel French Ltd
Large Mixed Cast
A diffident widower attempts to escape loneliness by joining the local amateur light operatic society
By accident rather than by design
In fact, by not saying "no" to anything - be it a request to obtain confidential information from his company or an offer of illicit sex - he advances from a small part to the lead
Parallels are skillfully drawn between The Beggar's Opera and the day to day activities of the society which is performing it
