A State of Affairs looks at a married couple (in their second marriage) in which the husband (a very good natured and charming young man) has become deeply concerned by his seeming increasing and compulsive urges to cheat on his wife. In an attempt to protect his marriage and his wife from sure pain, seeks counseling from the church. In his pursuit of solutions however, stirs up hornets' nests revealing some strange "truths" . Along with him the audience learn that things are not always what they appear to be and the causes of problems may come from the most unexpected sources.

The roles of the troubled husband and wife team are played by Jerry Benzwick and Sakina. The role of the educated counsellor with her modern approaches is played by Rishille Bellamy - Pelicie closely monitored by Ruth Ho Shing her conservative Supervisor. Director is the award winning Douglas Prout who said. It was a challenging script as is typical of all Dawkins' scripts. With an enthusiastic and energetic cast and instructions from Producer/ Playwright to thoroughly entertain and engage the audience the preparation has been a blast. The audience will experience comedy in its finest tradition."

Playwright and Producer said A State Of Affairs offers more than a belly full of laughter. He says The comedy also brings into focus the inadequacies of traditional approaches to address the new challenges to the family, relationships and social institutions in light of the new technologies, the emergence of social networks, and new common place realities such as smart phones and the increasing penetration of the world wide web. He said we ignore the accompanying negatives at our own peril. And the play demonstrates that point."

As is customary, Basil Dawkins offers A State Of Affairs as a fund raiser to charitable organizations and groups wishing to raise funds to boost their social outreach projects.
