Details

The action of each play takes place simultaneously and follows the same six characters in the same English country house from Saturday evening to Monday morning. Believing it his mission in life to make women happy by showering them with love, Norman makes the most of every opportunity to seduce his sister-in-law Annie, charm his brother-in-law's wife Sarah and woo his wife Ruth during a disastrous weekend of squabbling, eating, drinking and fondling. The Norman Conquests is a delightful series of plays exploring the lives and loves of the same eclectic mix of characters during a week-end visit to a relative's country house. Table Manners reveals their escapades in the dining room. The story revolves around three siblings whose invalid mother owns the property. Annie has arranged for her brother, Reg, and his wife to take on the nursing duties while she escapes for a romantic getaway. Plans go awry, however, with unexpected visitors, interference from unwanted sources and the presence of Norman himself - an amorous assistant librarian with an eye for the ladies and a willingness to court any or all of them!
