Melons at the Parsonage
Directed by Bob Callender
Introduction
When two companies become joint winners of a local drama festival the rules decree a tie breaker. Each group must perform an extract from its own play and then an extract from the opposing team's entry. The pieces are very different - one a traditional murder mystery featuring a vicar, a maid and a spinster, the other a piece of dark experimental art, full of symbolic meanings.
