"Sway, sway, arm up, hat down... and let’s get into this big tap routine you’ve all been waiting for!"

A small class of amateur dancers meets for evening tap lessons each week in a run-down church hall. The ever-patient Mavis – who has retired from a career as a professional dancer – teaches the class, while the grouchy Mrs Fraser provides piano accompaniment and sarcastic remarks.

The group’s dancing skills are as varied as their clashing personalities, but the prospect of performing in a local charity gala prompts the ladies (and the class’s one man) to step up their game, put aside their differences and put their dancing skills to the test.

This Evening Standard Award winning comedy drama by acclaimed playwright and TV writer Richard Harris follows the friendships, insecurities, laughter and quarrels of the group as they prepare to face to music and dance.

This amateur production of "Stepping Out" is presented by special arrangement with SAMUEL FRENCH LTD.
