Eleanor is ruthlessly cunning and takes every opportunity to get one over on Sarah. Anything told to her will, with her friend Valerie Brown's half sister, Mary's help, add to the local geriatric gossip. Clare is trying to be independent of her mother, but her relationship with her boyfriend is often in crisis. Through all this Sarah is having to come to terms with the death some years ago of her husband, and to find inner strength to face her new life, after Henry.

Class Of 77 by David Hines

Principals : 7m, 5f (or 5m, 7f)    Support : 3m, 2f (plus Chorus)
Get back to Britain in the 1970’s when ‘The Generation Game’ and ‘The Good Life’ ruled our TV sets, and the Ford Cortina ruled our roads. As their final year at school comes to an end, the class of ’77 wonders what the future will bring … and fifteen years later a school reunion brings them back together. As old scores are settled and old flames are re-ignited, they realise that their golden years are not those gone by, but those up ahead. ‘Class Of 77’ is funny, touching, invigorating, and (for those of us old enough to remember) wonderfully evocative of a youth untroubled by 21st century distractions.
