On Oct. 5, two short plays are on tap: Hands Across the Sea by Noel Coward and Sorry, Wrong Number by Louise Fletcher.
Hands Across The Sea is a short comic play that is part of a 10-play cycle written to be performed across three nights. The main characters were based on good friends of Coward who were always having cocktail parties in a stylish flat in London.
Sorry, Wrong Number is about Leona Stevenson, the spoiled, bedridden daughter of a wealthy businessman and the wife of Henry Stevenson. One day, while listening to what seemed to be a crossed telephone connection, she hears two men planning a woman’s murder.
