Theatre play: A Basinful of the Briny: Another Spot of Fun Beside the Sea by Leslie Sands (1921-2001) [more information]
Play synopsis: 'A basinful of mishaps and misunderstandings occur in the second of Leslie Sands’ "Seaside Trilogy". When Mr and Mrs Pepper return to the Seaview Guest House to celebrate their first anniversary, not only do they once again encounter the dragonish proprietress Mrs Austin, but are surprised by the unexpected arrival of their interfering in-laws and are driven to distraction and separation by the glamorous Miss Windermere. Together, this unlikely gathering stumble across a couple of small-time crooks and set out to foil their dastardly capers and win the day. An anniversary for Mr and Mrs Pepper to remember - and a play the audience will not easily forget!' Source: http://www.josef-weinberger.com/plays-and-pantomime/play/basinful-of-the-briny-a.html.
