Note s on Pe r fo rmanceBy Michael Gyngell and Mark Haddigan
I have an allergy to actor/musicians. I admire them, I can appreciate the economic need for them, butmy heart sinks as soon as I realise I’m about to watch a show that uses them. (It’s not as bad as the
other modern disease: the hidden band, they’re playing live but they’re in a soundproofed roomsomewhere, giving their all while we are denied the gritty, live experience and their work is delivered tous fully processed).
The reason I mention this is that in the 2003 production of Summer Holiday, the band was visible thewhole time - seated, standing, and in some cases squeezed into cubby holes in the ingenious set wallsdesigned by Paul Farnsworth. Drums excepted (although we tried - we couldn’t find a way to make thatwork), from the opening image, we set up the fact that the band were a part of it all, the brass, guitarsetc. and the whole cast introduced the convention that they are the show. They threw themselves aroundas they dissembled a mound of furniture and created the opening scene and beyond.
But I have to be honest, the other reason to have them around was that our Europe was vastly under-populated - we needed the bodies. If this is not possible in your production then lose no sleep. Chancesare, you have a lot more bodies than us to create a sense of the European community in other ways.
The other good-natured rant is against “theatre that looks like film.” Of course, Summer Holiday isadapted from the 1963 film of the same name, but there is no point going to the theatre and expectinga production to be as smooth and seamless or as thrilling as a film. It should be theatre - exciting,surprising, and allow the use of the least developed sense in this technological world of ours - theimagination. A sheet can become a mountain, benches on a truck become the ground floor of a double
decker bus and a bunch of suitcases become a broken-down car.
My last point is - the bus. In 1996 we mistakenly went along with the idea that the bus has to be onstage. That was the brief - ‘we must have the bus’. And so the designer and director of that productiondelivered. A full-scale bus arrived on stage, got a round of applause, all seemed happy. Unfortunately, itthen sat there like a crimson monolith for the rest of the show dwarfing everything and contributingnothing other than a reminder that this was once a film. So, in 2003, we went for a kind of ‘essence ofbus’, a particularly pretentious way of saying ‘don’t spell it out, let the audience fill in the blanks.’ Isuggest you do the same.
PL YING STYLE Truth and simplicity. It’s an irony free world. These guys have no dark side - though they are notwithout their ups and downs, they are all relative. Nowadays, a bus journey like this would be fraughtwith tension and arguments, culminating in at least one person being punched and hitch hiking home intears. But in this world, a strangely dressed ‘boy’ is immediately accepted as part of the gang, and agroup of co-workers will happily give up seven days of free time just so some lads can nip off to Francefor two weeks.
Although they are collectively referred to as the ‘kids’, the characters are quite different. DON is the
easy-going alpha male, strong, handsome and dependable. STEVE thinks he’s all of the former, but thatdoesn’t necessarily mean he is. EDWIN is the youngest, obviously a sensitive soul who, if he took his

iv
glasses off, could play DON on weekday matinees. CYRIL is the cheeky chappy with hidden depths.ALMA is vague, quirky but innocent. MIMSIE is blonde, confident and mature. ANGIE is over-ambitiousbut has a heart of gold. Lastly, BARBARA is a sixties “Britney”, wise beyond her years.
The grown-ups, I think, are more clearly defined in the script. They are classic musical comedy grown-ups who clearly don’t understand the kids’ constant need to just have a good time and not worry aboutthe future, careers, money etc. JERRY does as he’s told, but actually holds a fair amount of power.
STELLA, despite her single-minded need to live through her daughter, does think she is doing it for allthe right reasons.
Sharply defined playing is the key to it, and above all, don’t hang about. It’s very lightweight stuff but,played snappily and truthfully, the audience should be happily carried along.
We live in a very cynical world, but what this show does remind us is that for a bunch of kids in theearly sixties, a trip abroad would be almost unthinkable, let alone affordable. It is, for them, a goldensummer, their halcyon days and above all, an unforgettable adventure.
BRIDESM IDS
There’s no underestimating the ‘ahh’ factor. We used four real kids for the bridesmaids and if you havea cute little one, she should produce the necessary ‘ahh’ in ‘L IVING D OLL ’ and beyond.

Other parts:
WILF was played by our Musical Director.
The non-speaking role of ‘STRANGE LOOKING GIRL’ in the Paris Nightclub was gamely played byCharles – the ASM.

Act One SUMMER HOLIDAY 1
ACT ONE
Music No. 1: OVERTU RE Music
(Instrumental)
The full company and the band are onstage. The opening chords of ‘M OVE I T ’ are playedincredibly loudly. As the cast begin to set up the first scene, grabbing bits and pieces fromaround the set, the band make their way to their positions.
As the overture builds to a climax W ILF , the owner of the café, ceremoniously turns theclosed sign to open and...
SCENE ONE: A DINGY LON DON CAFE
…the lights snap up on the scene - we segue into…
Music No. 2: FOOT TAPPER IS IT STILL RAINING ?)(Wilf , Edwin, Cyril, Steve, All)
A dingy London café. The punters start to stream in, some OAP’s, a couple of school kids,a young mum, maybe a greaser. It is all very grim and grey, possibly even monochrome.
N.B. As the song progresses these other punters’ movements become more stylised andrhythmical.E DWIN enters. He is a chirpy but over-knowledgeable young man who takes things very
seriously. As he unwraps himself and shakes the rain from of his broken umbrella. W ILF
observes him with amusement. The following number is semi-spoken (or half-sung,depending on how you look at it.)
W ILF : IS IT STILL RAINING?
EDWIN : NO, I’M JUST CONSTANTLY WETRUNS IN THE FAMILY
W ILF : YOU NEED A TRIP TO THE VETWhat can I get you?
EDWIN : THERE’S NO NEED FOR A THREATONE TEA AND TOAST, TWO SUGARS
Music continues underneath. E DWIN opens a small book and sits cheerfully.
EDWIN : It’s like a hurricane out there, Wilf.

SUMMER HOLIDAY Act One2
W ILF looks bemused.
EDWIN :
You know…? Lots of rain. Very windy.
W ILF gets it.
C YRIL runs past the window and bombs through the door. He is the same age as E DWIN though a thoroughly different temperament. He’s never stuck for an answer.
W ILF : IS IT STILL RAINING? CYRIL: NO, I’VE BEEN FOR A DIPIT’S ALL THE RAGE NOW
W ILF : THAT’S WHY YOU LOOK SUCH A DRIPWHAT CAN I GET YOU?
CYRIL: HOW ’BOUT AN EGG AND A CHIP?IF THAT’S NOT TOO MUCH TROUBLE
He jumps onto a chair next to E DWIN , who barely reacts. He flicks his damp hair ontoE DWIN ’s book. Music continues underneath.
CYRIL: Afternoon Professor. What you reading?
EDWIN : It’s a fifty year meteorological report for the London area.
CYRIL: Any good? Tea, three sugars, Wilf. Cheer up Edwin, we'll be on ourholiday in seven days.
EDWIN : Cyril. Be realistic. We cannot afford it.
A figure dashes in and furiously attempts to pull the door open. This is S TEVE . An ultrafashion-conscious lad-about-town. Bags of energy but nowhere to direct it. As he battleswith the door, getting wetter and wetter, W ILF comes round the counter and pulls the dooropen. S TEVE enters and looks around expectantly.
W ILF : IS IT STILL RAINING?
STEVE: NO, I’VE JUST WASHED MY HAIR
WHY AIN’T THAT DOOR FIXED?

Act One SUMMER HOLIDAY 3
W ILF : It is.
STEVE: (Looking in a mirror) AND NOW I LOOK LIKE A SQUARE I’m on a promise.
CYRIL: Who with? Yogi Bear?
EDWIN : Teeth like that…
CYRIL/EDWIN : MORE LIKE BUGS BUNNY
STEVE:
Frothy coffee Charlie, black, four sugars…Bugs Bunny!!
EDWIN : Glad you’re here Steve, we have a slight problem.
STEVE: I haven’t got any problems. I’m on my holiday in seven days. EDWIN : That’s just it. The holiday’s looking very ropey.
STEVE: Why?
EDWIN : Well, I’ve added up all our savings and - assuming we can hitch hikefree to the French Riviera, and taking into account present prices there,we get to stay for approximately three hours and fifteen minutes.
STEVE: (A beat) We’re still going though, yeah?
EDWIN/CYRIL: No!!!
W ILF : (Shouts) Tea’s up!
W ILF serves as in a western, sliding his coffees and teas along the counter to the music,interspersed with shouts of ‘Tea one sugar’, etc. The other punters move and dance around getting irritated with each other and, in the case of the OAP’s, quite unpleasant. The B OYS go through a ritual of who sits where on the bench.
A bar’s silence. Huge thunderclap. A young lady arrives and is about to tell them it’sraining.
ALL : WE KNOW, IT’S RAINING!

STEVE: AND I’VE JUST WASHED MY HAIR E./C./S.: I CAN’T BELIEVE IT
EDWIN : I NEED A TRIP TO THE VET
CYRIL: THAT’S WHY I LOOK SUCH A DRIP
STEVE: AND NOW I LOOK LIKE A SQUARE
E./C./S.: IT’S BLEEDIN’ RAINING
EDWIN : BUT IT IS NOT OVER YET
CYRIL: HOW ’BOUT TWO EGG AND TWO CHIP?
STEVE: MY QUIFF’LL GIVE ’EM A SCARE.
EDWIN : IF WE CAN JUST ARRANGE IT
CYRIL: IF THAT’S NOT TOO MUCH TROUBLE Together.
STEVE: I’M NOTHING LIKE BUGS BUNNY
By now all in the café have had enough.
ALL : BUT WE CAN NEVER CHANGE IT OR TRY TO REARRANGE ITIT LOOKS LIKE WE’LL BE STAYING HERE
Song ends.
CYRIL: I’m starving. Oi, Sandra! What’s the special?
SANDRA : Tomato Soup.
CYRIL: What’s special about that?

SANDRA : It’s green.
STEVE: Wait a second. All this ‘three hours on holiday.’ (To E DWIN ) It’s all awind up, isn’t it? Course we’re going. You had me going for a bit.
CYRIL: Is it? Is it a wind up?
STEVE: It is, isn’t it?
E DWIN tries to speak but they don’t let him. They are too excited.
CYRIL: So go on then Edwin, where are we really going? What part of the
French Riviera must we force ourselves to enjoy?
STEVE: I can’t wait to breeze down St Tropez High St. Just wait till those birdssee me in my shorts.
CYRIL: I’ll be laying on the beach. ‘Another caviar sandwich, Brigitte?’ ‘Half aChampagne shandy please, Jean Pierre.’ Where we going?
EDWIN : Clacton.
STEVE/CYRIL: Clacton!
STEVE: Are you telling me that I’ve worked for 344 days…
CYRIL: 342.
STEVE: Eh?
CYRIL: You were off with a gippy tummy.
STEVE: Oh, yeah. 342 days! - sweated and toiled, keeping London Transport’sfinest double deckers on the road. We have all, in fact, put up with thestresses and strains of being the best bus mechanics in the building andall so we can spend two weeks playing soggy Bingo on the beach?
EDWIN : Steve. I want a holiday just as much as you. But you and Cyril are going
to have to face it. It’s two weeks in Clacton!
STEVE: We can’t stay in Britain. Look at this weather!

Thunderclap.
STEVE: I’m getting webbed feet.
CYRIL: Listen - Don will know what to do. He always does. Where is he by theway? He’s late.
STEVE : I’m starting to develop gills.
EDWIN : Will you stop? He’s coming straight from the bus depot, said to waitfor him. He’s got a surprise.

EDWIN : That’s right, what plan?
DON :
IF WE CAN DO IT ONCE,THEY’LL BACK US ALL THE WAY I’ve got the answer to all our holiday problems.
Music continues underneath. He gets out a toy Red London Bus and lays it carefully on thetable. All in the café have gathered round, interested.
STEVE: Bit small, isn’t it?
DON :
Here’s the plan. We borrow an old bus from London Transport, we doit up and kit it out with all mod cons and travel to the South of Franceon it. If it works out, next year we might be able to charge people forthe trip. You know run it as a business? What do you think?
STEVE: Crazy, Charlie!
EDWIN : It’s a brilliant idea. When do we start?
DON : Tomorrow. We’ve got one week to do it in or the deal’s off.
CYRIL: We? As in “us”? As in “you and me and him and him to renovate abus”? In one week?
DON : Cyril... It’s easy when you got friends. We’ll get some of the fellas at thegarage to help us. So are we all in or not?
They lock hands, á la 3 Musketeers.

Lights up on a medium sized model bus making its way across the stage - it disappearsoffstage only to reappear in a smaller version further upstage.
The bus passes three girls who are sitting in a battered old Mini. They are: ALMA a young,vacant looking, but ultimately aware cookie. She is checking a map. M IMSIE blonde andfeisty. And ANGIE , a hyper-enthusiastic girl who takes things very literally. ANGIE isdriving, or rather trying to start the car. After a few goes…
ANGIE: Come on Shandy, don’t give up. Come on girl…
M IMSIE: I think, Angie, you will find that Shandy is knackered.
ANGIE: Well that’s it, then we’re completely macarooned.
M IMSIE: Don’t you mean marooned, Angie?
ANGIE: I know what I mean. (Beat) Anyway, marooned means you’ve gonepurple.
M IMSIE: Whatever it is, we’re stuck.
ALMA : Why don’t we get the bus?
M IMSIE: Bus? Bus? We’re in the middle of the back of beyond. There is no bus.
ALMA : Then what’s that parked over there?
They look.
M IMSIE: It’s a bus.

EDWIN : Look like their car’s packed in. Shall we help them?
STEVE: Of course, but let me do the talking, ok?
EDWIN : But you don’t speak French.

In a perfect world they’d be fantastic, but their act is no more than competent. Very“fifties” and innocent, thrown together by themselves. Very charming though. The B OYS are enjoying it.

After some playful to-ing and fro-ing and some failed attempts to start the car, the G IRLS have a quick conference as music continues.
ANGIE: Girls? (They gather round) Well as far as I can see it we’ve got twochoices. We either take a fast, clinical train to Athens or we take arickety old bus to Athens. All those in favour of the train? (ALMA puts

A loud woman thunders down the aisle.
STELLA: Barbara, what the heck is the matter with you?
The floor manager comes out, annoyed with the interruption as he talks on his headphonesto the director in the gallery. As the M AKE U P L ADY fusses around B ARBARA , a dress railfull of assorted clothes is also placed on the side of the stage.
The woman has arrived at the front of stage. This is S TELLA , B ARBARA’s mother. A womanof a certain age, a fighter who is always ready to defend her little girl, she makes EthelMerman look like a play school teacher. A quick wit, a sharp tongue and a dress sense like

an obvious cheap hairpiece.
STELLA: What’s going on?
BARBARA : I don’t know mother. You stopped it.
STELLA: Where’s the passion? You have to believe this is the love of your life,you looked like you were making a shopping list.
BARBARA : How can I believe this person is the love of my life? I’ve never been inlove and I’ve certainly never had a life.
STELLA: Don’t get smart, young lady.

STELLA: Oh yeah - him too, but he doesn’t count as a person, he’s an agent. Ipromise you, you’ll have time to live after you’ve had a lifelong career.Ok, sugar?

JERRY : Of course, sorry! Barbara, are you still there? Your mother wants me…

STELLA: (To phone) Barbara, where are you ringing from?
BARBARA : I could tell you mother, but I wont. I’m fine, please don’t look for me. Ijust need a few days away to think.

use them.) Thanks. Towel? (He is now out of the shower. She holds thetowel for him, covering his modesty and trying not to look.) Nowwhatever the reason for running away, you can tell me about it. Maybe Ican help you out. Ok?
BARBARA : Sure. Is that all?
DON : Yeah, I guess so.
He is quite close now and still bare-chested. She may pass out.
BARBARA : I’ll get your shirt. (She does so.) Oh no, it’s ripped. Do you want me tosew it up for you… because that’s not going to happen.
DON : Sew it up? Me?
BARBARA : Maybe you need a woman to look after you.

STELLA: Good.
JERRY : Just look at this headline. (He pulls out a paper from his overcoat .)“Où est Barbara?” (And another) “Barbara - C’est fini?” (And yetanother ) It’s even made the British papers - “Barbara WintersAbducted by Aliens.”
STELLA: This is great… Does it mention me? (Reading paper ) I am not FortyEight!!!
She throws down the paper.
JERRY : Oh, that reminds me. Hedda Hopper rang from L.A.
STELLA: Oh really?
JERRY : She heard all about it - having met you she couldn’t understand whyBarbara hadn’t run away years ago.
STELLA: Oh isn’t that sweet?
JERRY : Yeah!
STELLA: Where did Barbara ring from again?
JERRY : Charmont.
STELLA: (To J ERRY ) Right, we’d better get down to Charmont to make sure she
stays there and undiscovered.
JERRY : She’s not going to be there now, is she? The man I spoke to said theywere on a London Bus on their way to Greece.

STELLA: So where’s the next stop?
JERRY : Hang on I’ll look for it. (He checks a map) Wait a second. Are yousure it was Barbara? That man told me that the call was made by a boy.
STELLA: Of course it was Barbara. I should know her voice when I hear it. She

JERRY : Basle. (Pronounced Basil)
STELLA: She’s changed her name?
JERRY : Basle, Switzerland. They’ve got to go through there, there’s a mountainin the way.
STELLA: OK. Leave this to me. (She grabs the phone and dials.) I know theAmerican Ambassador, charming man. (Into the phone) Hello, Rodney?(confidentially) It’s “Marshmallow”. Listen Sweetheart, I need a favour.There’s a Red London bus on its way to the Swiss border with a bunchof kids on board. Now I’ve reason to believe that they do not have alicence to carry passengers…
JERRY : That’s very clever, but what about when they find out that it’s not true?They’ll let them carry on travelling.
STELLA: (Covering the mouthpiece) I know. I know that. Hang on! (To phone.She is a little embarrassed) I’m wearing them now.
JERRY : (Afraid to ask) What did he give you?
She points to earrings. He is relieved.

Lights up on the model bus crossing the stage as a large piece of white tarpaulin isceremonially brought on stage by two officials (J EAN D’ ARM and WPC). Slowly, one sideis raised like a sail. The bus passes underneath it and a much smaller bus appears round theside of the cloth. It makes its way up the edge of the cloth. Lit well, this then looks amountain. Lit badly, it’ll look like laundry!
SCENE TEN: SWITZERLAND
A local Policeman blows his whistle, the music stops and the kids enter. They are carryingtheir luggage, bedding, guitars and most of their worldly goods. They have been thrown offthe bus.

JEAN D’ARM : You cannot travel further and your bus will be impounded.

Halfway through the song, the curtain rises on the terrace of an out-of-season mountainrestaurant, a few chairs and tables around. W ILF ’s long-lost twin is serving everyone milk.The band are on stage and our K IDS have taken over the place and are conducting animpromptu jam session. E DWIN plays a guitar. C YRIL accompanies on the harmonica and
S TEVE on the bongos. M IMSIE shakes her maracas, ALMA wildly plays the spoons andANGIE reluctantly bangs a wood block. Subject to availability, some of these can be mimed.The song ends.
The K IDS start to move away. The lead guitarist plays the first three notes of ‘M OVE I T ’ toE DWIN as a challenge (think ‘D UELLING B ANJOS ’ from ‘D ELIVERANCE ’). E DWIN playsthem back. The guitarist plays some more, E DWIN plays it back. Before we know it we areinto the song.

Towards the end of the song E DWIN has been getting more ‘rock and roll’, lots of jumpsand turns, caught up in the music. At the finish he collapses, exhausted. During theapplause he gets up, a little bit shocked and embarrassed that he did it. The K IDS
congratulate him. S TELLA arrives on the other side of the terrace.
STELLA: Jerry!! (She realises she is alone) Stop sulking. Will you come out from
behind there?
JERRY : (Offstage) I feel stupid.

CYRIL: What, the truth about being a ‘female transvestite’?
Barbara enters in a dress, looking sensational. E DWIN doesn’t see her.
EDWIN : She’s not a female transvestite. Bobby…Barbara, whatever her name

The K IDS quickly assemble in a line-up with their hands in the air. A B ORDER G UARD stands and stares at them.
EDWIN : …Is this ‘cos Cyril shouted “Mussolini” out of the window? I promiseyou he didn’t mean anything by it. (The G UARD looks sharply towardshim.) But if it’s a crime, he made me do it.
The G UARD starts to systematically frisk the K IDS .
ANGIE : What do you think they’re looking for?
STEVE : I knew we shouldn’t have tried to smuggle a bus.
CYRIL: Here, look out! I’m British, you know? I’ve got a British Passport. Look,there’s my face. (He looks at the passport himself.)

GUARD : Otro Vato Questo.

B ARBARA opens the clasp on the pendant to reveal a photo of herself which she offers tohim for inspection. The K IDS all lean in and have a look. ALMA : Oh yes, look. It’s a picture of you. How old were you ?

He stops the Lambretta and dashes about trying to find her. S TELLA enters. She is trying tobe dignified but she has one broken heel. Her clothes are dishevelled, her hair is now totallyhorizontal due to lack of wind resistance and her mascara and make up have travelled generally all over her face. She slowly approaches J ERRY .

DON : I think you’ve been performing so long you can’t tell where fantasy endsand reality begins.
BARBARA : I know about reality. I love you - that’s real.
DON : If publicity is what you’re after, why not go the whole hog. I can see it
now. Ten inch banner headlines, “Bus mechanic marries Pop Star”.
BARBARA : Ok then. I’d love to marry you.
DON : Yes, why not, and then “Bus mechanic”…what did you say?
BARBARA : I said, I’d love to marry you.
DON : Well…just what makes you think that I want to marry you?
BARBARA : Call it instinct. Call it intuition. But you do. Well?
D ON gets down on one knee.
DON : Barbara Winters, if you promise not to keep any more secrets from me,and share my life with me and, most of all, not dress up as a bloke…
Will you marry me?
BARBARA : I’d love to.
They embrace.
DON/BARBARA: I GUESS I’M STILL SO VERY MUCHIN LOVE WITH YOU
BARBARA : Now we’ve just got to persuade mother.
DON : You leave her to me.
They exit.

JERRY : (Taps microphone, then speaks into it.) Ladies and Gentlemen.Mesdames and Messieurs. Meine Dames unt Meine Dambusters.Welcome to the Stella Winters press conference. Ms. Winters will readout a short statement; then we will answer any questions…and here sheis…
Stella steps up melodramatically.
STELLA
:
My girl was kidnapped six days ago. (She falters.) Excuse me, thetrauma of the past few days has taken its toll. I feel a little faint.Support me, Jerry!
She reaches out for his arm.
JERRY : You’re doing great, Stella!
STELLA: (She reacts, then smiles to the crowd.) This incident has shown us howmuch the world values its own bright young star. Right now I ask onlyone thing. I’d like to meet up with one of those hoodlums face to face.
D ON , S TEVE , C YRIL and E DWIN enter through the auditorium.
DON : Well that shouldn’t be too difficult. I’m one of them.
STELLA: You! You’ve got a nerve turning up here!
Music No. 39: BIG NEW S(Don)

DON : Ah, yes.
W RIGHTMORE : Oh, congratulations. My name’s Wrightmore. I’m with the BritishConsul here. I’m glad I caught you - this telegram’s for you.

The whole cast run on stage. They have changed into what can only be described as finalecostumes. In the original production they all wore white as a welcome relief from the brightcolours that had gone before, but it can be any unifying change of costume. They throwbeach balls and have beach-type fun.
