Roundabout (19 Feb 1957) (Sydney)

 A Sydney production of the play performed originally in Melbourne. It had a new cast and was directed by Ray Menmuir. Information about the play is in the section on the Melbourne production. Like The Twelve Pound Look it was a simple, easy-to-do play.

Plot

Ruth, happily married to David for nine years, is preparing to leave on a holiday with the children. During the bustle of departure, Ruth and David find themselves dis cussing the recent divorce of their friends John and Patsy. Colder. When David asks her what she would do if he were unfaithful, Ruth calmly replies: “All these things can be talked out quite easily.” To prove her point she goes on to conjure up Paula, an imaginary “other woman”.
