Hi
The first of the new term of my play reading group was today. A friend invited me to join the group back in September, which takes place at her house. I was nervous at first since my knowledge of plays is very limited but the the group members are very friendly and I am enjoying myself. We mainly read scripts but some poetry reading and discussion is also included. Today we read a one act play called Rough Justice by Constance Bird. The plot revolves around a dog called Rough who has taken to attacking a lady. It keeps biting her legs. The play begins with it's third attack and the news that it will have to be destroyed unless the lady barrister who lives in the house with the family can solve the mystery of why the dog has taken a sudden dislike to this particular woman. The initial story line is intriguing but the change in character of the lady under attack at the end is not very convincing. It was a light hearted comedy not to be taken too seriously.
I have been searching for some information about Constance Bird but am not having much success at the moment.
