Rude Health
Synopsis:
each member of the Wea Healthy Lifestyle class at the Smallhampton-on-Ouse Arts Centre believes they may have an alternative key to good health, except Cyril, their forgetful chairman. Mary, seeking a cure for smoking, spends an evening with these weird women who advocate anything from moving the furniture to eating raw vegetables with the knives and forks pointing North. Milly, an elderly lady, who fancies an orgy brings along a carrot of a suggestive shape. Gladys, the caretaker, creates a crisis by painting the door orange. Chaos is caused by the Health and Safety Officer removing the chairs. Finally their speaker, a Mrs Nose, flees from them.
