Sandcastles
a seaside comedy by

Bob Larby

Directed by Sue Green

Bob Larby is the writer of A Month of Sundays, Ever Decreasing Circles and A Fine Romance amongst other well known plays

An elderly couple, who holiday in the same place every year and own their own beach hut, await the annual arrival of the awful Billet family, whilst wondering also what has happened to the Woodersons who haven't been seen on the beach for years. When the Billets arrive with a recently single Pauline who's rather on the rebound and then come not the Woodersons but 'renters' - the affable Doug and his two nieces - the scene is set for a gentle and well-observed comedy that will undoubtedly appeal to all.

A dispute about the ownership of sand in front of the beach huts soon breaks out.
