Thy are very different characters and have joined a luncheon club and meet each week for a chat and, as is the way of a gathering of women, to moan about their loves lives, their bodies, work and the world in generals. This is a very funny play but also has a message hidden in it.<br /><br />Public Speaking is a play about four men. None of them knew each other when they found themselves sitting at the same table in a very busy pub. A bit like the women, they fall into a conversation and discuss the "old day", work, and the present, two of whom find the age in which we now live, not very nice. One of the four men dies! </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <img src="images/go_to_top.gif" style="border-width: 0px;" /> <b class="ProductDetailHeading">Cast Summary</b><br /><br /> Café Contentious: 7F<br />Public Speaking: 4M<br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <img src="images/go_to_top.gif" style="border-width: 0px;" /> <b class="ProductDetailHeading">Testimonials</b><br /><br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <img title="Back to Top" src="images/go_to_top.gif" style="border-width: 0px;" /> <b class="ProductDetailHeading">Specifications</b><br /><br /> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody><tr> <td style="width: 90px;">Format: </td> <td>Paperback </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Pages: </td> <td>45 </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Dimensions: </td> <td>A5(148mm width x 210mm height) </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Publisher: </td> <td>Jasper Publishing </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Published: </td> <td>2006 </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Language: </td> <td>English </td> </tr> <tr> <td>ISBN: </td> <td>1 904416 89 6 </td> </tr> </tbody></table> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <img src="images/square_icon.gif" border="0" />&nbsp;<a href="Index.html">Home</a>&nbsp; <img src="images/square_icon.gif" border="0" />&nbsp;<a href="http://www.jasperpublishing.com/">Ajax website</a>&nbsp; <img src="images/square_icon.gif" border="0" />&nbsp;<a href="http://www.jasperpublishing.com/NonAjax/">NonAjax website</a>&nbsp; <br /><br /> </td> <td> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
