Description "On Monday Next," presented at the theatrette by the Repertory Society on Sunday night, as a play about a play, in which the author enjoys a tilt at the theatrical profession. The 14 characters, including the producer, are drawn in "larger than life" caricature and probably those who enjoyed the fun most were the playing members in the audience who were quick to recognise the familiar predicaments and situations which seem to crop up in every theatrical production.
