Stepping Out Av Richard Harris

Stepping Out is a warm and very funny play about the lives, laughs and lovesof a group of women (and one man) attending a weekly tap-dance class in adingy North London church hall. There is ex-professional dancer Mavis, whoruns the class; cheerfully overweight Sylvia; Andy, a plain do-gooder withno con dence; snobby but well meaning Vera; timid Dorothy who worksin Social Security; Maxine, attractive, sharp and very shrewd; fat, plainLynne; Rose, just here for a good time, and Geoffrey, the lone male. As theplay progresses, the class''s dancing improves to such an extent that by theclimax, a grand charity show performance, they have been transformed intotriumphant tappers, worthy of any chorus line.
