About
Based on the BBC Sitcom, “Are You Being Served?” is a light-hearted observation of the lives of the staff of the fictional department store Grace Brothers. The show is focused on the staff dealing with interpersonal relationships and events affecting the running of the store. The script is somewhat a parody of the British class system, evidenced using the characters’ surnames and their titles, rarely their Christian names. The show features humour based on sexual innuendo, misunderstanding, mistaken identity, farce, sight gags and occasional slapstick. The show is laced with double entendres and is distinctly a snapshot of its time and place, 1970s Britain. The play takes place in the Grace Bros department store and at the Don Bernardino Hotel, Spain.
