We enjoyed another night of live entertainment at our local theatre The Studio last night. We were there to see the Heretaunga Players production of “Scrubbers”, written by Cenarth Fox. The play tells the story of five cleaning ladies who all have troubles in their lives. They meet up in the works tea room before the start of each night shift to share a cuppa, and slowly their problems get aired to the others. It is not all “doom and gloom”, as this mixed bunch of cleaning ladies get talked into becoming the backing band for Dee, who is trying to break into show business. With songs and dance, it is a heart warming story of down trodden women determined to put some fun back into their lives.
It was a very hot evening and the temperatures kept rising in this tiny theatre. Some of the audience were using the programmes to fan themselves in an attempt to cool down. Goodness knows how the cast coped with the heat under the spotlights, especially during their dance routines. As part of the play, we were each provided with a delicious cup cake. These were provided by Buttercup Bakery, now owned by Robin’s cousin Graeme and his wife Annette. Thanks, cuz, the cup cakes were great.
