Description: A lovingly cynical tribute to the music hall, 'Red Peppers' features a performing couple whose onstage choreography and off-stage marriage leave something to be desired, as they snap and scrap in a comic but sympathetic picture of variety show life. 'Red Peppers' is a short play from 'Tonight at 8.30', a sequence of ten plays to be performed by the same cast in sets of three, alternating matinées and evenings, ranging from farce to melodrama to romantic comedy. After touring, 'Tonight at 8.30' was produced at the Phoenix Theatre in London in 1936.
