Introduction
Half of a Double Bill with Krapp's Last Tape.
Tira is a girl who tries very hard to sustain the affections of five very different men, all portrayed by Derek Osborne. "Tira" is a sharply focussed piece of modern theatre, both cynical and very funny. It underlies the modern casual commitment to love and sex.

As printed in Scene.
"Very good. A lovely performance" ....Bill Merrow.
"Excellent. Tira captured feminine view to a T; Derek Osborne captured well the many facets of the male of the species we all know and love".... Nikki Hogg, member.
"Quite good. Little show at the beginning: the way it was played. Middle and end very good.".... Adrian McLaughlin, member.
"The play is absolute rubbish. Excellent production and performance rose above this defect." .....Nick Winford, member
