Charles Dyer

Published by AmberLane Press

2 Male 2 Female

Each year two dancing couples meet to commemorate not only the ballroom championship when one couple lost due to a suspected sabotage of trouser braces which meant the others won, but also the conception of a child during the drunken night that followed when they all shared a bed

Their nineteenth anniversary, however, turns out to be particularly eventful...

"Charles Dyer writes like a dream ... [Lovers Dancing] is about sexual disaster and people trapped inside their own impossible expectations ... this is a play about a lot more than doubtful parentage: it's about success and failure in the outer reaches of bad-taste living..." ~ Sheridan Morley, Punch

"[Charles Dyers'] new comedy deals in sexual aspirations and disappointments. If the tone is hardly new or the theme surprising, Mr Dyer still writes ... with an energy and occasional eloquence... "~ Eric Shorter, Daily Telegraph

"Charles Dyer is a master of invective and the sharply chiselled phrase" ~ Milton Shulman, Standard

"Mr Dyer, Wycherley to Pinter's Congreve, writes a heightened, baroque language of loneliness, lust and sexual inadequacy ... Lovers Dancing moves and disturbs, strangely" ~ Giles Gordon
