In the last week before World War II, a small concert party, working the end of a pier show somewhere in England, is rehearsing for the final week of the season. There is talk of impending war, while visible proof that war is expected, sandbags, gun installations, etc. - is all around. The uncertainties of the period are mirrored in the uncertainties of the company's future. We meet the various members rehearsing their acts on stage as well as their more private moments in between.

This portrait of the interweaving relationships and fortunes of a desperately charming, if eccentric, aristocratic family and their influences upon Charles Ryder has been faithfully adapted for the stage, preserving all the'sharp wit and candid social commentary of Waugh's narrative.Large flexible cast

This delightful musical play is set in a music hall on the outskirts of London at the turn of the century. There were two hundred and fifty music halls in the country at the time, and the leading performers included Harry Lauder, Dan Leno, Marie Lloyd and Vesta Tilley. All For Your Delight is not intended wholly to recreate an exact replica of a music hall performance nor to delve too deeply into social history.|7 women, 7 men
