Sheila’s Island premiered in 2022 in Guildford’s Yvonne Arnaud Theatre. Four women, middle mangers are suffering the hellish team-building experience companies used to enjoy inflicting on their employees. They are on a treasure hunt in the Lake District. As the play opens they emerge soaking wet from the lake as their boat has sunk: boats do not steer the same as cars!! Where was the risk assessment you may ask?
What follows is not pretty as cold, hunger and Denise’s sharp tongue affect them all. Will they be rescued in time for dinner? They only have one mobile phone and Julie chose to phone her husband who was out…….. Will sheila really keep up their morale with ball games? Will the equipment in Julie’s rucksack be of use? Birdwatcher Fay is happy but Denise is really angry…..
