Bournemouth Little Theatre Club Bournemouth Little Theatre Jameson Road, Winton Bournemouth February 2003 Gilhooly Came, the Club’s 2003 One-Act Play Festival entry, is a highly original and amusing play, albeit with decidedly sinister undertones, that might well be sub-titled ‘Games People Play’. The plot is simple enough – man returns home after 9 months at sea to find wife in bed with another man. But as the married couple (Jane Wright and Jack Snell) talk, question and explain, the other man (Stephen Watton) begins to look more and more like a victim of them both. Mixed Doubles consisted of three amusing short plays - A Man’s Best Friend (Tess Hutton & Peter Beebee), Score (Nicola King & Don Gent) and Silver Wedding (Pat Gray & Mick Wright) – that, although viewing marriage with a slightly jaundiced eye, had more than an element of reality about them. And it was good to see that the cast shared the non-acting tasks too, even coming off stage after one play to immediately be the prompter (unfortunately needed on a few occasions) in the next.
