Bums on Seats, written by Michael Snelgrove is an adult comedy about a tatty provincial theatre during the run of a play.
The play in question, ‘Fecund’ is intended to be a deep and meaningful piece about childbirth. It is, of course a send up of deep and meaningful! It serves to highlight the characters involved both on the stage and those back stage.
These characters range from the pretentious playwright, the intellectual drama lecturer, the OTT front of house team, through to the highly strung new publicity officer of the theatre. All have their hang ups or eccentric ways.
