ON THE PISTE

by John Godber

ON THE PISTE was first presented by Upstart and Hull Truck Productions in 1990 with a cast of 3 women and 3 men, directed by John Godber. A new version, published by Josef Weinbergers was first presented at the Queens Theatre, Hornchurch on 29th August 1991.
 

This popular play takes to the slopes with a hilarious and insightful view of skiing holidays, complete with all the pretentions and frustrations. Chris and Alison, Bev and Dave are all beginners - they've got the designer salopettes, but do they have the courage? The sext, tanned ski instructor is eager to put in some overtime, while Melissa, on holiday alone, is creating one too many diversions. Both on and off the piste, passions are running high while the 'apres ski' brings nerves and insecurities dangerously close to the surface.Once the skis have been clicked into place, there's no stopping this fast paced and highly exhilarating play from the author of the ever-popular Bouncers.
