RMTC are back this autumn with “Stepping Out”
Written by Richard Harris in 1984, “Stepping Out” was produced in the West End, London, where it received the Evening Standard Comedy of the Year Award, and on Broadway, New York.
A warm and extremely funny play, it follows the lives, laughs and loves of a group of women (and one man) from disparate backgrounds who attend a weekly tap-dance class in a dingy North London church hall.
Ex-professional dancer Mavis who runs the class is joined by cheerfully overweight Sylvia; Andy, a plain do-gooder with no confidence; snobby but well-meaning Vera; timid Dorothy who works in Social Security; Maxine who is attractive, sharp and very shrewd; fat, plain Lynne; Rose, who is just here for a good time, and Geoffrey, the lone male of the group. Watch as these once complex characters, navigate the challenges and triumphs of their journey, as they head towards a grand public, charity show performance, transformed into triumphant tappers, worthy of any chorus line.
Tap your troubles away with this fabulous story that is testament to the power of community, friendship, and the transformative experience of dance and has been praised for its witty dialogue, memorable characters, and the uplifting message it conveys about the courage and resilience of ordinary people.
