Everyone knows someone who thinks they know best. In Jubilate! that
someone is Anna, vicar's wife and radio
personality. She has her own life sorted out - apparently - and
now thinks it'd be a good idea to sort out everyone else's......oh
dear.
THE COMEDY PROJECT
In March 2008 I contributed as writer and performer to the new
season of The Comedy Project (www.comedyproject.co.uk)
at the Soho
Theatre. My new play Drastic
Plastic was
showcased on Wednesday March 19th.
Daffodil has drastic plastic surgery to reclaim the years.
Vic hopes bigger breasts will win back gormless Gavin.
"Change your body, change your life" - isn't that right,
girls???
SEXOLOGICALLY SPEAKING
I was in two of a quartet of Carolyn Pertwee's
excellent short plays from 15th to 18th November in a sell-out
run at the O.S.O.
in Barnes. (OSO Box Office: 020 8876 9885) The evening
was called Sexologically Speaking. I
appeared in Double Image and On
Thin Ice. The plays are sexy, funny
and fab.
JUBILATE!
My one woman show, Jubilate!,
enjoyed a successful run at The Tabard
Theatre in October.
"I am so glad I came and I was so impressed
by your acting and your writing. I particularly liked the way
you preserved a narrative line throughout the evening, first
inviting the audience into a cosy lecture and then leading them
gradually, and always with comedy, into a darker world. Congratulations!"
Barry Humphries
"An astonishingly satisfying and thought-provoking
evening - very funny and surprisingly moving too. JUBILATE!
is a triumph."
Clive Evans, Producer, Nice Pictures Ltd.
"This is marvellous, a real miniature
drama crackling with comedy both dark and light, performed
with all the bravura accuracy of a 21st century Joyce Grenfell "
Libby Purves BBC Radio 4
"Brilliant! Every single word seemed
to me the right word - beautifully written, impeccably observed,
penetrating, witty - immaculately timed - very, very clever."
Sue Hamlyn
Jubilate! was premiered at the
2005 Edinburgh Festival (as Bruised
Blueberries - reviews below). It also came in the top
ten of a competition organised recently by The
Literary Consultancy (TLC) - out of over 150 entries.
THE COMEDY PROJECT
I'm a core member of The Comedy Project
(www.comedyproject.co.uk)
which plays regular seasons at the Soho
Theatre. We expect to be back in 2009.
Our recent seasons have been very successful
and the feedback on my shows, Drastic
Plastic (2008), Bruised
Blueberries (2007) (now retitled Jubilate!)
and Powercut (2006) was excellent.
"The dialogue, characterisation,
plot and coups de theatre were brilliant"
Boris Rumney, writer (re
Jubilate)
