It's the 60's, and self-styled lothario Bernard lives in his luxury apartment in Paris with his beautiful fiancée, she's an air hostess and very glamorous…only problem is, so is his other fiancée, and his other fiancée! One is American, one is Italian, and one is German and all fly for different airlines, so they should never cross paths really…
Along with his long-suffering housekeeper, who has a multitude of menus available for the ever changing continental meals on the table, and his old school friend paying a visit, everything was going so well until all 3 ladies have unexpected layovers at the same time!

Stepping Out
From 12th May to 17th May 2025
Written by Richard Harris
Directed by Vicki Lockey
Stepping Out is a warm and very funny play about the lives, laughs and loves of a group of women (and one man) attending a weekly tap-dance class in a dingy North London church hall. There is ex-professional dancer Mavis, who runs the class; cheerfully overweight Sylvia; Andy, a plain do-gooder with no confidence; snobby but well-meaning Vera; timid Dorothy who works in Social Security; Maxine, attractive, sharp and very shrewd; plain Lynne; Rose, just here for a good time, and Geoffrey, the lone male. As the play progresses, the class’s dancing improves to such an extent that by the climax, a grand charity show performance, they have been transformed into triumphant tappers, worthy of any chorus line.
Mavis teaches the troupe of adult would-be tappers, but before the dancing starts, she must mediate the drama that erupts between this group of students of different ages and from disparate backgrounds until love and friendship unites them all.
Stepping Out won the Evening Standard Theatre Award for Best Comedy when it originally opened in London’s West End in 1984. The film version in 1991 starred Liza Minnelli and Julie Walters.
