Progress
Silver Thread Productions presents 'Progress' by Doug Lucie

a play in a hundred." Observer
"A small, anguished, hilarious masterpiece." Evening Standard
"A masterpiece of comedy." The Times
1983, Kilburn. 34-year-old Will has flung open the doors to his middle-class home, but his liberal experiment is not going as planned. He's been condemned to the sofa by his wife's lesbian lover, despite having invited her in; his over-sexed men's discussion group seems bent on self-destruction; and now battered wife Ange has come to stay, with her abusive husband not far behind.
Last staged in 1986, Doug Lucie's brilliantly sharp comic drama takes a hilarious and terrifying look at sexuality, marriage and morals; mercilessly exposing middle class hypocrisy.
Almost twenty-five years on, how far have we progressed?
Following their sell-out production of 'The Dice House', Silver Thread continue their policy of reviving outstanding contemporary British plays.
