Short synopsis

The team at Bailey Street Toilets are a close bunch. This old Victorian facility may have seen better times, but the Bailey Street (even with David, their slightly ineffective manager) take pride in their work and enjoy their time together. Then, one day, they discover that their toilets are scheduled to close. Initially resigned to being powerless to stop this - and with no support from the awful area manager, Greg - they find the fight in themselves to keep them open.

The team at Bailey Street Toilets are a close bunch. This old Victorian facility may have seen better times, but the Bailey Street crew take pride in their work and enjoy their time together. Then one day, they discover that their toilets are scheduled to close. Initially resigned to being powerless to stop this happening, they find the fight in themselves to keep them open. ‘At Your Convenience’ will make you laugh, and maybe shed a tear, as the stories surrounding this little crew unfold.

Although it is the fight to keep the facility open that moves the play along, other issues such as loneliness, homelessness, alcoholism, job loss, new relationships, loving or hating your job, are dealt with. Like, how sometimes, trying to reach your dreams can lead to more sorrow than joy. We can be getting on with life when the world throws up whatever it does and we respond by creating a space where we can live as best we can.

One fact of life is that it changes constantly. We say goodbye to friends. The great times come and go and sometimes we wish we could be back there. But that can’t be. The story of the Bailey Street crew and their determination to save what is important to them, sometimes against all the odds, is a universal one. Ultimately, life moves on and we do too, with our memories close beside  to hug us.

Frequently asked questions

Can we try before we buy?

Of course! All our plays and pantomimes have a free Preview Script available for download as an A4 pdf file that contains 60-75% of the full script. If you like what you read then you can buy an inexpensive e-script of the entire play (typically less than half the cost of a traditional printed script) which is licensed to you for your personal use. Purchasing a script copying licence allows you to make just enough copies to support rehearsals and performances.

All our musicals are included in our perusal service. Through this, representatives of producing organisations can request a USB Stick of perusal material  which comprise the script/libretto and piano/vocal score as PDF files; a Cast (or Studio) Recording as MP3 files and (where available) an MP4 file video of either the premiere production or of a subsequent production.

Some titles have the facility to read the entire script online on our website.

Do we need a Licence To Perform?

The simple answer is, yes.

Under the international laws of copyright, you must be in possession of a valid, unexpired licence before performing any piece of theatre unless the owner or managers of the copyright has waived their rights.

Why do you insist on providing a formal royalties quotation?

When you request a quotation, it is logged in our system, it forms part of an orderly queue and protects your place in that queue should multiple licensing requests occur for the same show.
