- Stage West Community Playhouse's season opener, the rollicking comedy Table Manners, is the first play of Alan Ayckbourn's trilogy, The Norman Conquests. But, unlike, say, a Neil Simon trilogy, where the story progresses through three phases, Table Manners tells the whole story - or, to be more precise, the whole plot - without the necessity of seeing the other two plays. Stage West Community Playhouse is at 8390 Forest Oaks Blvd., Spring Hill. Performances are at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays through Sept. 24; 2 p.m. Sundays through Sept. 25. Tickets are $15. The box office is open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays and an hour before each show. Call (352) 683-5113.
