The Bone Grinder

Directed by Joan Kemp-Welch

With George Baker, Margaret Tyzack, Weston Gavin, Arthur Cox and Brian Oulton

George, an ineffectual and inoffensive clerk, and his prim wife Gladys reserve their greatest efforts for preserving their respectibility. Sam, a rough-necked American seaman, invades their dull suburban routine. The play examines the clash of cultures between a fading British Empire and the dominance of American materialistic values.
