Judging by its first production, One Glass Wall, seen at Eye Community Centre on Friday, it will be a successful venture. Aimed at presenting classic and contemporary dramas as well as creating new issue-based plays, the company is working with Eyes Write and is also able to call on other local drama groups.

The play, well written by Suffolk playwright Danusia Iwaszko, tells the story of a mother and daughter who are left to fend for themselves in a car on the side of the road when the father walks away.

Although the play is described as a comedy, it has many dark undercurrents relating to the writer's background and upbringing. Her Polish father had a traumatic childhood, being left to fend for himself when war broke out and this is reflected in the many faceted character of Mark, played by the experienced Alan Bolton.

His long suffering wife Bridie, who is determined to make a home for herself and her daughter while secretly yearning for a better life, is sympathetically portrayed by the talented Yves Green.

An outstanding performance is given by Meryl Keeble, as Morag, who travels through time from the 1960s to the 1970s, transforming from an eight year old child from hell to a petulant schoolgirl and a typical teenager.

The play was well produced with a made up car taking centre stage in the first act, the family drive being enhanced by appropriate sound effects.

One Glass Wall ends it run at Stradbroke Community Centre tonight.
