There Should Be Roses
A Comedy by Dave Williams
There Should Be Roses is a very funny comedy with the cleverness that only Dave Williams can convey. We performed his “Brothers!” last year. It is the perfect play for the Valentines Day Holiday – full of romance for all ages. From the opening line to the surprise ending the playgoer will be caught up in the story.
