Synopsis Roland, a hard drinking tycoon is considering buying 'The Pines', an old Victorian house, for his frustrated wife, an ex-dancer. The action of the play takes place in the attic, master-bedroom and lounge of 'The Pines', with linking stairs and passageways representing three floors on one level. 'Taking Steps' is one of the more complicated plays to stage that the Drama Group has performed for some time, The set relies on imagination from you, the audience, skilful acting by the cast and considerable ingenuity by the set designers and builders. Sit back, enjoy it and let your imagination run riot. The action takes place in the present. The stage is split into three rooms, the lounge, master bedroom and attic.
