Hello there and welcome to our 4th instalment of this 6th season of Theatrical Shenanigans. Today we are bringing you the play “Dances with Wives” by Guy Newsham (https://newplayexchange.org/users/55711/guy-newsham & https://guynewsham.com/)

Guy was first featured on Theatrical back in October 2024 when his play “Photo Finish” featured as part of Mini Shenanigans (https://theatricalshenanigans.podbean.com/e/mini-shenanignas-episode-8-photo-finish/)

Guy spent a career working on making buildings more energy efficient and sustainable.  He has acted on community theatre stages for many years, and started writing for the stage in earnest eight years ago.  His plays have been successful in multiple competitions and festivals, leading to more than 130 prizes and productions in six countries. His relationship with Theatrical Shenanigans spans back to October 2024 when his play “Photo Finish” made up part of our 3rd Mini Shenanigans Series and this play today is his first as a featured playwright.  

Synopsis:

Claire and Jordie are divorced, and watch on as their newly-married daughter takes her first dance with her husband. Claire and Jordie seem prickly at first, and take shots at each other's new partners. But as they recall their prior courtship, and the DJ plays "their song", perhaps there's reconciliation.

Cast:

Jordie – George Sapio (https://newplayexchange.org/users/785/george-sapio & https://gsapio.wixsite.com/gsapio)
