The cast of 18 will glide through a wide variety of character changes teachers, farmers, chants, prostitutes, ministers, lonely apinsters, -pursued beauties, the town's tycoon, a lone Jewish clothier, a village idiot, an oculist, a local dandy and one marvellously happy woman who died fulfilled at 96.
