Despite the title, Little Shop Of Horrors, has its tongue stuck firmly in its cheek. It concerns the fate of Seymour Krelborn, a classic loser who works at the failing Mushnik's Skid Row Florists.

He watches her sufferings at the hands of her sadistic boyfriend Orin, a biker and dentist! Just as it looks as if he is condemned to remain in this existence forever, he finds a strange plant with an appetite for human blood. Is this his chance to find fame and fortune, or will events take a darker and more sinister turn?

This is a delightfully and at times sad play with an immense feel-good factor concerning Felix Humble and his family. Following the death of his father, Felix returns to his middle England home and his difficult and demanding mother, her ghastly boyfriend and eccentric friend. Never being any good at human relationships at the best of times he seeks solace in the garden where his father had found the keeping of bees a great source of comfort and peace. There he spends more time talking to the gardener James than to his family. However, he is made to face reality which has some surprises in store for him and helped by the bees is reconciled to the loss of his father. There are strong undertones of Hamlet in the plot. In fact 'To be or not to be' takes on quite a different meaning.

The typical South Coast Hotel Beauregarde is peopled by the old, the lonely and the needy. The manageress Miss Coooper is unable to remain aloof from their troubles. In Table By The Window, she attempts to help John Malcom and his ex-wife Ann, who have ruined each other, find salvation together. In Table No 7, Major Pollock and Miss Railton-Bell are misfits and their despair draws them together. Miss Cooper gives them the courage to face life. This is Rattigan and English drama at its finest.
