A Comedy

By

Richard Harris

 

Stepping Out, which enjoyed a successful West End run at the Duke of York’s Theatre, is a warm and very funny play about the lives, laughs and loves of a group of women and one man attending a weekly tap dancing class in a dingy North London church hall.  There is ex-professional dancer, Mavis, who runs the class; cheerfully overweight Sylvia; Andy, a plain do-gooder with no confidence; snobby, but well meaning, Vera; timid Dorothy who works in Social Security; Maxine, sharp and very shrewd; plain Lynne; , bubbly Christian, Rose and Geoffrey, the lone male.

 

As the play progresses the class’s dancing improves to such an extent that by the climax, a grand charity show performance, they have been transformed.

 

Stepping Out was voted Comedy of the Year by the Evening Standard Drama Awards in 1984.
