Description
Alan Ayckbourn's play "Ten Times Table" is a thought-provoking exploration of conflicting views and the consequences that follow.
A village committee decides to stage a pageant about a local event, but one member turns it into an opportunity for proletarian revolution. As the committee debates, tensions rise, leading to a violent confrontation between opposing factions.
The outcome is brought under control by police intervention, but not before another potential pageant - this time featuring ancient Romans and Britons - becomes a tempting alternative.
